When you’re buying or selling a home, having the right property survey in place is essential. It’s not just about ticking boxes—it’s about understanding the true condition and value of a property before you make any big decisions. At Kathryn Barr Estate Agents, we can connect you with trusted, independent surveyors who know the North Yorkshire property market inside and out.

Whether you’re purchasing a period cottage in Great Broughton, a character home in Faceby, or a modern family property in Stokesley or Great Ayton, we’ll ensure you have access to the right type of survey to suit your situation.

Why a Property Survey Matters

A property is one of the largest investments you’ll ever make. A thorough survey helps uncover potential issues that might otherwise go unnoticed—saving you money, stress, and disappointment further down the line.

For sellers, a survey can also help pre-empt delays or negotiations later in the process, especially in more rural areas like Seamer, Swainby, or Carlton in Cleveland, where older or more unique homes are common.

We work with reliable local surveyors who offer clear, easy-to-understand reports that provide the insight you need to proceed with confidence.

Survey Types We Recommend

Our recommended surveyors cover a wide range of assessments, from basic valuations to comprehensive structural surveys, across Hutton Rudby, Kirkby in Cleveland, and beyond.

RICS Homebuyer Report

This is the most commonly requested survey for conventional properties in good condition. It offers a clear overview of a home’s state, covering key areas such as damp, structural movement, and roof condition. It’s ideal for modern or well-maintained homes in areas like Stokesley, Great Ayton, and Hutton Rudby.

Full Building (Structural) Survey

This in-depth survey is strongly recommended for older, extended, or non-standard homes—often found in beautiful rural locations such as Faceby, Carlton in Cleveland, or Great Broughton. It provides detailed analysis of structural integrity, roofing, timbers, and hidden defects, offering a full picture of a property’s condition.

Valuation Survey

This survey is used to determine the current market value of a property and is particularly helpful when arranging a mortgage or preparing to list your home for sale. It provides a formal, independent valuation based on local property trends and comparables.

Local Knowledge You Can Trust

The surveyors we recommend are experienced in assessing properties across North Yorkshire’s village communities, where housing types can vary widely—from Georgian terraces in Swainby to stone-built farmhouses in Seamer.

They understand the quirks and characteristics of older homes, the planning context of listed buildings, and what buyers should be aware of in more remote or countryside settings.
