From the terraced houses and cottages of Huddersfield and Wakefield to the modern flats and Victorian villas of Leeds, West Yorkshire has a vibrant and diverse housing sector with so much variety, however, comes a challenge. Often, these period homes have been developed, extended, and reconfigured to fit with how we prefer to live today, making it essential that you are fully clear on the property's true condition before you sign any contracts. New builds bring their own reasons to be cautious, with many buyers left disappointed that their home isn't as perfect as they expected it to be on completion.
So, whether you're purchasing a pad in Pontefract, buying a bolthole in Barnsley or house hunting in Huddersfield, we've got you covered with our expert surveying services for West Yorkshire.
As a local team of RICS qualified chartered surveyors, we understand the West Yorkshire property market. We're always on hand to provide advice and carry out surveys and snagging lists to help you stay informed and save money.

As the West Yorkshire market continues to be fast-moving, we're ready to move quickly once you've found the home of your dreams, offering a variety of surveys tailored to your needs, the property you're buying and your budget. We utilise the latest technology to ensure that our surveys are conducted efficiently and accurately and survey reports are delivered within 24-48 hours.
A level 2 survey carried out by our certified RICS Chartered surveyors, the HomeLevel report is suitable for houses built after 1970 and flats built after 1950, which are in a reasonable condition and worth less than £1,000,000. Designed to be comprehensive yet easy to understand, we will determine whether the asking price is fair and detail any issues using a traffic light system so you can be clear on the most serious defects or issues. In addition, we'll also advise on any asbestos concerns and on broadband speeds, which can be an issue in rural areas of the county.
With a significant stock of older and renovated homes, this is a popular option across West Yorkshire as it offers a detailed insight into the property's structural condition. As well as highlighting issues such as damp, areas of movement, timber defects and more, we'll also include photos of defects, detailed identifications and pragmatic repair advice, potentially saving you a significant amount of money.
Whether you want to claim on your home insurance to repair your roof, your flat roof needs replacing, or you just wish to know its true condition, an impartial roof survey carried out by our specialist team will give you the information you need to proceed with confidence.
For many people, the idea of moving into a pristine home is a key reason for choosing a new build. Unfortunately, the reality often doesn't live up to expectations. Research from the House Builders Federation and NHBC found that 41% of new-build buyers report more than ten issues to their builder. Our snagging specialist will identify any issues to be addressed and deliver a comprehensive report, including photos, so you have all the information you need to make your developer finish the job properly.
