ABOUT THIS AREA

Cinderford owes its very existence to the Cinderford Ironworks and the surrounding coalfield, developing as a genuine industrial settlement within the Forest of Dean rather than growing organically from an older village core. The town sits close to the Dean Heritage Centre, which tells the story of this mining and ironworking heritage in detail.

This industrial past is directly relevant to property here — former mining and quarrying activity can affect ground stability in ways that a generic survey checklist won’t catch without local knowledge.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with cotswolds surveyor for our level 2 home survey. 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.

Trustindex 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.

Trustindex 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.

Trustindex 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.
