CHOOSING YOUR REPORT

Which survey suits Hook Norton properties

Given the village’s genuine Victorian and older housing stock, we recommend a RICS Level 3 Survey for most period properties here, particularly anything with a longer alteration history. More modern housing may suit a RICS Level 2 Survey.

ABOUT THIS AREA

Hook Norton is best known for Hook Norton Brewery, founded in 1849 and recognised as an important architectural example of a Victorian tower brewery, complete with a still-working Victorian steam engine — a genuinely rare survival nationally. The village itself sits close to the Cotswold Hills, a few miles northeast of Chipping Norton.

The village also has industrial history beyond the brewery — the Brymbo Ironworks operated here with its own narrow-gauge railway until closing in 1946, though little of this remains visible today.

Very professional company which responded quickly and efficiently to my enquiry. Booking the survey was easy and the surveyor himself was polite, friendly and very good at explaining what he needed to do. The resulting report was delivered promptly and was thorough and helpful. Happy to recommend this company.

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.

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.

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.

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.
