CHOOSING YOUR REPORT
Which survey suits Up Hatherley properties
Most of Up Hatherley’s housing is standard 20th-century construction, generally suited to a RICS Level 2 Survey. Where a property sits within the older parish core, or shows signs of historic alteration, we recommend a RICS Level 3 Survey for a fuller assessment.
ABOUT THIS AREA
Up Hatherley was, like neighbouring Leckhampton, Swindon Village, and Prestbury, transferred from the Borough of Tewkesbury into Cheltenham Borough only in 1991. It sits on Cheltenham’s southern edge, adjacent to Leckhampton, and has developed substantially as a residential area over the 20th century, alongside an older parish core.
Being part of the ancient parish structure that predates Cheltenham’s modern boundaries means Up Hatherley’s planning history sometimes runs through records that were previously administered separately — worth understanding if researching an older property in detail.
We confirm whether a specific Up Hatherley property belongs to the area’s older parish core or its more extensive 20th-century residential development, since the right survey approach differs between the two.
Given its shared history with Leckhampton, Swindon Village, and Prestbury as a former Tewkesbury parish, we also factor in the area’s later formal joining with Cheltenham when relevant to planning history research.

They took the time to advise us before we contracted with them, recommending we get a structural engineer to check the house before our survey due to the specific concerns we had, even if that could have meant we did not need to use their services in the end. They were also very responsive and helpful throughout the process.Posted on GoogleHelenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found this firm very easy to deal with and they were able to arrange a survey quite promptly. Charles the surveyor gave me a call after his inspection to talk everything through, which was much better than just receiving a written report. The report followed shortly which was very comprehensive with photos and explanations included. I would highly recommend this company.Posted on GoogleFrancesco SticchiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service provided was excellent and thorough. It allowed us to avoid a very troublesome acquisition of a first house. We were impressed by the level of details provided in the survey and, in particular, by the kind and precise heads up via phone call received right after the survey was completed. We could not recommend this service more for its careful and thoughtful attention to the client.Posted on GoogleSteveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently used Cotswold Surveyors for my flat purchase. Guy was thorough and knowledgable and provided a verbal report before the written one came through. I would certainly recommend them.
