Surveying property in Heaton

Heaton is one of Newcastle's classic Victorian suburbs: long terraces and Tyneside flats around Chillingham Road and Heaton Park, larger houses toward Jesmond Vale, and a substantial student and young-professional rental market. Most of the housing is over a century old, so roofs, timber and damp dominate our findings here.

We are based in Gosforth and cover Heaton and the surrounding area — Jesmond, Byker, Sandyford, Walkergate — as part of our regular round, so there is no long-distance travel premium and no unfamiliar surveyor.

Level 1 Condition Report — a quick overview for newer, straightforward homes
