We've inspected numerous properties along the A12 corridor and in villages surrounding Framlingham, giving us intimate knowledge of local construction quirks.

The Level 3 survey is particularly valuable for older properties where original features may have deteriorated over time, or where modifications have been made over the years.

We also assess any modern extensions or renovations to ensure they have been properly constructed and are in good condition. Properties like the distinctive thatched cottages found in some villages and Grade II listed buildings require specialist assessment, and our team has the expertise to provide appropriate advice for these unique properties.
