Carpenters Heritage Division specialises in the inspection and survey of historic houses. It is staffed by surveyors who have considerable experience in surveying a broad range of historic properties.
Acquiring a historic house is for most people a rewarding and happy experience. For some people, however, the experience can be quite the opposite. Whilst people wish to own a historic house for the right reasons, there are many pitfalls and potential problems which can turn those wishes into a costly mistake. We’re here to help.
RICS Valuations in Derbyshire
Valuation underpins all property decision making. Whether you’re a national bank, property developer, or a private buyer. Value is important. That’s why you should be very careful about who you consider to do it. You can trust Carpenters to give you the insight you need in a Market Valuation, or a Building Survey.
It can be complex and challenging to reliably establish value, with many variables to consider on a property-by-property basis.
Our reports are clear, unambiguous and well thought through. That’s why lenders will often ask for Carpenters by name!
