CHOOSING YOUR REPORT

Which survey suits Wallingford properties

Given Wallingford’s age and Thames-side position, we recommend a RICS Level 3 Survey for older properties near the historic centre, allowing proper assessment of any damp findings against genuine flood risk context. More modern housing suits a RICS Level 2 Survey well.

ABOUT THIS AREA

Wallingford is a genuinely ancient town, with Saxon origins and a substantial former castle that played a significant role in English history before falling into ruin. The town sits directly on the Thames, with a historic bridge crossing the river, and retains a well-preserved Georgian and earlier townscape.

The area has strong literary connections too, having been associated with Agatha Christie, who lived nearby for much of her life — a detail that adds to Wallingford’s genuine sense of layered history alongside its riverside setting.

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.
