Services
A RICS Level 3 survey, previously referred to as a comprehensive building survey, involves a thorough inspection and the creation of a detailed report. This provides expert advice on the property's condition and highlights any necessary repairs.
Gowers Surveyors provide a comprehensive range of home surveys accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Whether you're purchasing a family home or a rental property, a RICS Level 2 Survey, formerly known as a homebuyer survey, could be the ideal option for your requirements.
Our historic building survey report offers the same level of detail as a RICS Level 3 Survey, with the added benefit of specific advice on how to maintain your character home, ensuring it remains enjoyable for many years to come.
Our Homeowners' Survey is a Level 2 RICS-compliant inspection tailored specifically for those who already own their property. It provides a clear overview of the building's condition, highlighting areas that may require attention with practical maintenance advice. The report includes condition ratings, health and safety insights, and repair recommendations. This enables proactive management and helps mitigate costly issues.
At Gowers Surveyors, we guide clients through the purchase of commercial premises with expert insight and in-depth reporting. Owning your property brings greater control over operations, potential rental income, and more accurate long-term budgeting. We recommend engaging a specialist solicitor and surveyor early in the process. Our commercial surveys ensure transparency, mitigating risk before exchange.

If you are looking for an excellent, knowledgeable and helpful surveyor I wouldn't look any further! I researched the local market and Paul's name came up a number of times; I then spoke to his office (Catherine who is also great) and arranged a pre-survey meeting. Form that point on it has been seamless. I've bought 15+ houses and Paul is by far the best and most comprehensive surveyor I have used. You get what you pay for - I bought a grade II listed house and that's his sweet spot, so if you want to know a great deal about the house, what works are needed (and ideas on costs & recommendations) and also how to care for it afterwards, Paul is an excellent choice. Highly recommended.

I cant thank Paul Gowers enough for the work he did on a party wall dispute. He was professional, responsive and personable.

Having used Paul's services for a survey on our upcoming listed building purchase I can assure you that you will get the most thorough, professional and helpful service that you could wish for. The report tallied over 100 pages covering all aspects of the house, walls, frames, windows, roof space, drainage, outbuildings, render, roof tiles, water tanks, electrics, insulation, listed building consent, health and safety and much more. Not only that but Paul's report also told us how to best maintain the house going forwards, using what materials and how often things need doing. This was most definitely worth every penny and has allowed us to make an informed decision on the purchase going forwards.

A+ rating from me!

I have just had a Survey completed by Gowers of Stamford. I have to say that the team there are superb.
From the first contact with Catherine who was courteous, professional and helpful and who also arranged everything. To the surveyor Paul who was marvellous, the report was clear and well presented and easy to understand. Paul was extremely helpful and prepared to spend time discussing all the sections and any issues i had.He was very professional and a pleasure to deal with.
I dont normally do revues but felt compelled on this occasion because they deserve enormous praise and i would thoroughly recommend them.

I needed a building survey doing at short notice after red flags were raised once receiving searches and the sellers paperwork back. Unfortunately Gowers and everyone else I checked with were all booked up for months however Paul took time out of his busy day to speak to me, listen to my situation and provide me with some fantastic advice which I very much appreciate. He is very knowledgeable and the advice given has helped me in the next steps of my house purchase. Thank you again.

The value of using Paul, a local well known professional, was huge. I received immediate personal feedback allowing me to take timely action to avoid what could have been an expensive mistake.

We engaged Gowers to carry out a building survey for an old residential property with multiple issues. Paul Gowers was excellent in his response time to our questions and the level of professional reporting. The service we received was reassuring for us and we would certainly use Gowers again.
