Specialist RICS Surveys for Historic & Listed Properties

Historic and listed buildings require a different approach to modern properties. Traditional materials and construction methods behave differently, and defects need to be understood within the context of the building's age, construction and previous alterations.

RP Surveyors has specialist expertise in historic buildings, traditional construction and building pathology, providing detailed RICS Level 3 Building Surveys for listed and period properties, properties within conservation areas and traditionally constructed buildings across Nottinghamshire and the wider East Midlands.

Our surveying expertise is supported by previous hands-on experience within specialist building restoration, providing first-hand knowledge of traditional construction, repair methods and materials. This practical understanding helps us look beyond identifying defects to consider their underlying causes and the repair approaches appropriate to a building's age and construction.
