Bespoke Survey

Surveys

Bespoke Survey

The Watsons Bespoke Survey is designed for older properties, non-standard constructions, extensively renovated or extended homes, and waterside properties – where a standard survey may not provide the necessary level of detail. If you are purchasing or maintaining a listed building, thatched cottage, timber-framed home, heavily modified property, or a home near the coast, rivers, or lakes, this tailored survey provides a specialist inspection to address the unique challenges these properties present.

At Watsons, we have extensive expertise in assessing heritage properties, heavily altered homes, and those built with alternative construction methods, as well as properties in coastal or flood-prone areas. Our RICS-qualified surveyors understand the complexities involved, such as potential structural movement, damp, timber decay, the impact of multiple renovations, or environmental risks associated with waterside locations. Unlike standard surveys, the Watsons Bespoke Survey can focus on the key areas that matter most to your property.

*The Watsons Bespoke Survey is not available in all areas. Please contact us to check availability and to book your survey directly.
