Gloucestershire Listed
Building Surveys
Our services: Listed Building Surveys
Gloucester and the surrounding Cotswolds contain some of the finest historic buildings in the country, from medieval timber framed houses and elegant Georgian terraces to traditional Cotswold stone cottages and rural farmhouses. These buildings, made from local materials and using traditional building techniques present their own surveying challenges. Standard building surveys are not adequate for buildings of this type and this is where Nicholson Price Associates comes in.
We specialise in Listed Building surveys in Gloucester, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Stroud, Cirencester and the northern fringe. We have inspected many properties across the county and the wider Cotswolds, and understand how traditional construction methods, centuries of alterations and natural ageing affect the condition and structural integrity of these buildings. Our local knowledge allows us to provide accurate, practical advice tailored to the individual character of every property.

One of the main attractions of buying a Listed Building is the character. From Cotswold stone cottages and Georgian townhouses to medieval timber framed properties. Many of these buildings have evolved over hundreds of years, telling their own story.
The multiple alterations and in many cases, extensions are exactly what makes surveying Listed Buildings so challenging. Walls get removed, fireplaces boarded up and repairs undertaken, often without Listed Building Consent. Part of our role is to identify those changes and advise you of any issues that may become your responsibility as a new owner.
Historic buildings demand specialist knowledge. Traditional materials behave differently and construction techniques that were common two or three hundred years ago, are rarely encountered by general surveyors. Our survey reports provide the highest level of detail, highlighting potential breaches of development control, including Listed Building Consent, while giving you a clear understanding of the condition and history of the property before you enter into any commitment to buy.
We understand that our clients place their trust in us to advise them on what is often the most expensive purchase they will ever make. That’s a responsibility we take seriously. We keep clients informed at every stage of the survey, respond quickly to enquiries and take the time to listen to concerns, rather than simply issuing a report and disappearing.
As a small family business, we provide a bespoke and competitively priced Listed Building survey service for anyone considering the purchase, repair or development of a historic property in Gloucester and the surrounding Cotswolds.
Over the years we have inspected Listed Buildings in Gloucester itself, but also in Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Stroud, Cirencester and many of the smaller towns and villages, including Painswick, Winchcombe, Chipping Campden, Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water. Each area has its own character and building traditions. Some are dominated by beautiful honey-coloured Cotswold stone, others by Georgian brickwork or medieval timber frames. Rural properties often combine materials and construction techniques that have evolved over centuries.
From an elegant townhouse overlooking a squares in Cheltenham to a humble cottages hidden away in a Cotswold village and converted farmhouse on the northern fringe of Gloucester, every historic property deserves to be assessed on its own merits. That is exactly what we do. Our Listed Building surveys are tailored to the individual building, giving buyers, owners and developers the detailed information they need to make an informed decision.
