Level 3 Building Survey In The West Midlands
Essential for larger or older properties, or if you’re planning major works in the West Midlands region.
Formerly known as a ‘Structural Survey’ this report option is the most comprehensive report and provides you with an in-depth analysis of the property’s condition, including advice on defects, repairs and maintenance options.
Heritage Surveys in The West Midlands
A detailed report is one of the most valuable tools you can have when buying a Listed Building. It is essential to understand a building's condition and any repairs that need to be made.
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 The West Midlands
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!

Key Information: West Midlands
-
There are several regions in the UK with decent quality of life, and moving to the West Midlands is certainly an intelligent choice. Beautiful countryside, charming towns, and exciting cities make up this historic English region. Whatever you prefer, the West Midlands has something for everyone, from the bustle of Birmingham to the culture-rich scene of Warwick.
The West Midlands is one of Europe's most dynamic, forward-looking, and ambitious metropolitan regions, with 4.7 million people living there. In addition, it has one of the youngest (and most culturally diverse) populations in Europe, as well as a proud tradition of openness and tolerance.
Despite being less than 1.5 hours away from London, with direct access to 400 global destinations, and 90% of the UK population within a four-hour drive, the West Midlands are still affordable, flexible, and spacious.
Our definition of spacious goes beyond physical space. This means space to grow professionally and personally, to explore new opportunities, and to think clearly about how you want to live your life.

After forging a position as the fastest-growing region outside London in the decade to 2019 and breaking through the £100 billion economic output mark, the region’s industrial mix and demography meant we were hit particularly hard by the economic impact of the Covid pandemic and new trade frictions with the EU.
The West Midlands Plan for Growth sets the path to returning to that trajectory, spreading opportunity and jobs across the region and helping level-up the UK.
Clean and inclusive economic growth is driven by the private sector, with public authorities helping to create the conditions for investment and prosperity. In the West Midlands, we know that must be a joint effort.
The private sector plays a critical role, finding commercial opportunity, driving investment and creating wealth. The Combined Authority brings regional leadership with a scale and simplicity helpful to business while also reflecting the different needs and opportunities of different towns, cities and rural areas across the region.
It has proved effective in setting long-term direction and confidence, along with troubleshooting immediate issues such as the response to the pandemic, EU withdrawal and dealing with energy price increases. Working in conjunction with local authorities and universities as local anchor institutions, the Combined Authority will deliver conditions for growth through:
New powers over economic development
Transport investment
Housing and land investment
Pioneering new approaches to regeneration
Skills
Working with investors
Net zero
