Surveying property in Kenton

Kenton is a large residential area of 1930s semis and inter-war and post-war estates, much of it originally council-built and now owner-occupied, with newer housing toward Kingston Park. It is a solid family and first-time-buyer market where the defects are predictable if you know what to look for.

We are based in Gosforth and cover Kenton and the surrounding area — Kingston Park, Gosforth, Fenham, Fawdon — as part of our regular round, so there is no long-distance travel premium and no unfamiliar surveyor.

Housing stock in Kenton

1930s semis

Early cavity walls, bay windows and hipped roofs. Wall-tie corrosion and bay roof problems are the classic issues.

Council-built estates

Some non-traditional construction types from the 1940s–1960s, which need identifying for mortgage purposes.

Later infill and modern housing

Conventional construction from the 1970s onward.

What we look for in Kenton

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

Cavity wall tie corrosion
Non-traditional construction in ex-council stock
Flat-roofed extensions and garages
Historic mine workings in parts of the area

Which survey do you need?

Level 2 Home Survey — for conventional property in reasonable condition; the standard choice for most Kenton 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.
