Surveyors · Chagford, Devon
RICS Level 2 and Level 3 surveys for homes in Chagford, West Devon, with local data on age, flood, radon and listed buildings.
Our suggestion for Chagford
A Level 3 Building Survey suits the typical Chagford home. With so much older, solid-walled stock, the deeper inspection and repair advice of a Level 3 usually pays for itself. A Level 2 can still suit a newer, conventional home.

Before-1919 homes make up 48% of the stock here. Solid-walled houses behave differently from modern ones; watch for hard cement pointing and modern coatings that hold moisture in, and treat any 'rising damp' diagnosis from a damp-proofing salesman with caution.
