Surveying property in Westerhope

Westerhope grew from a colliery village into a large suburb of 1930s semis and bungalows, post-war council-built estates and later private developments at Chapel House, Chapel Park and beyond. The inter-war and mid-century housing has a predictable set of defects, and the mining history means a ground report is standard.

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

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