Surveying property in Hexham

Hexham is a stone-built market town around its Abbey, with a conservation-area core of listed Georgian and Victorian buildings, Victorian villas on the slopes, post-war estates and rural property throughout Tynedale. Solid-wall construction, flood risk on the Tyne haughs and radon all feature in surveys here.

We are based in Gosforth and cover Hexham and the surrounding area — Corbridge, Prudhoe, Haltwhistle, Ponteland — as part of our regular round, so there is no long-distance travel premium and no unfamiliar surveyor.

Housing stock in Hexham

Historic town-centre property

Sandstone, solid walls, slate roofs and lime mortar. Traditional construction that needs a surveyor who understands it.

Victorian villas and terraces

Larger stone and brick houses, often extended or converted. Roofs, chimneys, timber and damp.

Post-war estates and modern housing

Conventional cavity-wall housing on the town's edges.

Rural Tynedale property

Farmhouses, cottages and barn conversions with private drainage, oil heating and exposed locations.

What we look for in Hexham

Every survey follows the RICS Home Survey Standard, but local knowledge is what makes the difference. In Hexham we pay particular attention to:

River Tyne flood risk on low-lying ground
Tynedale is a designated radon-affected area — we advise on testing
Solid-wall damp and inappropriate cement renders
Listed-building and conservation-area constraints

Which survey do you need?

Level 2 Home Survey — for conventional property in reasonable condition; the standard choice for most Hexham purchases
Level 3 Building Survey — for period, altered, extended or unusual property, and where you want repair-cost estimates to negotiate with
Level 1 Condition Report — a quick overview for newer, straightforward homes

Not sure? Read our first-time buyer guide, check the FAQ, or just ask — we will tell you which level fits the property and quote a fixed fee.

Hexham survey questions

Should I test for radon when buying in Hexham? ▼

Parts of Tynedale have elevated radon levels. We tell you whether the property falls within an affected area and whether a test or existing mitigation should be checked.

Do you survey rural property around Hexham? ▼

Yes — cottages, farmhouses and conversions across Tynedale, including the private drainage and water arrangements that come with them.
