Bradleys Chartered Surveyors

  • Good time to buy


    Whatever your political affiliation, sometime next year there will be a general election. And we all know that in the build up to an election the government will be giving away a few sweeteners, encouraging interest rates to drop, maybe a few tax reductions and will probably do something to inject a bit of enthusiasm in the property market.


    I don’t know whether this will get them any votes. But right now while the market is quiet with high interest rates and most vendors looking to take any half reasonable offers, then this is the time to buy before interest rates start to drop and before the government provides any incentives for the property market which could lead to a levelling of the market and possibly an increase in prices.


    And one of the most important aspects of buying any property at the moment is the condition of the property and how much it is going to cost to repair and upgrade. As we all know, builders costs, both in the way of labour and materials, have gone through the roof and just getting a bit of replastering, damp proofing and a bit of electrical work undertaken can cost many thousands.


    We are here to provide sound professional advice from our qualified surveyors, many of whom have been trained in-house, with years of experience, and have extensive local knowledge.


    Don’t hesitate to call us for a quote and advice in order to satisfy your needs. Most of the time our experienced administrative staff can deal with your enquiry but we are more than pleased for a surveyor to speak with you direct.


    We look forward to hearing from you.

  • About Us
  • Bradleys Surveyors are a firm of Chartered Surveyors with vast experience operating throughout the core of the West Country, providing a straightforward and thorough service throughout Cornwall, Devon, and Somerset.


    Our RICS accredited Surveyors can aid you in a wide range of property services such as a Building Survey or HomeBuyer Report to assist you with your house purchase or one of the various valuations we specialise in. We have expertise in both residential and commercial property to satisfy our many different clients.


    Recent research has revealed that up to 90% of the residential properties inspected today suffer from some kind of defect. As a result, many buyers are unknowingly setting themselves up with the average bill of £5,750 to overcome hidden problems which would have been acknowledged by one of our surveyors in a report often costing as little as 10% of that bill! For many purchasing a property will be the largest investment of their life so don’t delay in gaining friendly and comprehensive reassurance from one of our surveyors today!

  • Homebuyers Report
  • The RICS HomeBuyer Report is a user friendly document presenting clear recommendations to the client, providing that extra reassurance before commitment to purchase is made. Comments are made in respect of the interior and exterior structure, services, grounds and legal issues in conjunction with a traffic light condition rating system. The knowledge of any existing or potential areas of concern allows the client to make a reasoned and informed judgement on their future home.
