ABOUT THIS AREA

Yate grew substantially through the 20th century into one of South Gloucestershire’s larger towns, with author JK Rowling born here before her family later moved to nearby Tutshill — a detail that adds a literary connection to the town’s more recent history alongside its practical, modern character.

As part of South Gloucestershire, a separate unitary authority from the Gloucestershire county districts, Yate’s planning and administrative history sits apart from towns like Cheltenham or Cirencester, worth understanding if researching a specific property here.

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.
