Property surveying across Leicestershire

A survey report can read like a foreign language at the point you most need to understand it. We started this site to explain what surveyors actually look at, what the different report levels mean, and when each one is worth paying for.

The county throws up its own patterns. Coalville's old mining ground, the period and rural homes around Melton Mowbray, conservation-area rules in Market Harborough — these shape what a sensible buyer should check. We write about those local quirks alongside the standard ground a survey covers everywhere.

You'll also find clearer explanations of the things that come up later: party wall notices, damp and timber diagnosis, valuations, and measured or topographical surveys when you're planning work rather than buying.
