Bath property: what a survey looks for

Few cities in Britain ask more of a surveyor than Bath. The Georgian terraces and crescents that made the city a World Heritage Site are built of local limestone — Bath stone — over vaulted basements, with parapet gutters, slate roofs and sash windows largely as the eighteenth century left them. Thousands of these buildings are listed, and many have long since been divided into flats. Around the Georgian core sit Victorian villas and artisan terraces, interwar suburbs on the hillsides, and pockets of post-war and modern development towards the city's edges.

In stock like this, surveyors regularly report eroded and spalling stonework, failed pointing, damp in solid limestone walls and vaulted cellars, corroded parapet and valley gutters, and long-standing movement — sloping floors and out-of-plumb walls are common and need interpreting rather than merely noting. Where Georgian houses have been converted, the quality of the conversion work varies enormously between buildings. For virtually all of Bath's period stock, and certainly for anything listed, extended or converted, a Level 3 Building Survey is the appropriate choice; a Level 2 Homebuyer Survey is better reserved for the city's conventional interwar, post-war and modern homes.

Because so many of Bath's period buildings are divided into leasehold flats, lease extension valuations are a steady local instruction, alongside RICS Red Book valuations for probate, matrimonial and Help to Buy purposes. The terraced form of the Georgian and Victorian streets also means building work next door — basement alterations, rear extensions, loft conversions — frequently engages the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, and panel surveyors can act for building or adjoining owners. We can arrange a local RICS surveyor for any of these and quote a fixed fee before you commit.
