Warwickshire Listed
Building Surveys
Our services: Listed Building Surveys
Nicholson Price Associates are Historic and Listed Building specialists undertaking surveys of all types of Listed and Historic Buildings across Warwickshire, including the towns of Henley in Arden, Alcester, Nuneaton, Rugby, Leamington Spa and Bedworth and the surrounding areas.
Having been fortunate to have inspected historic and listed property in many of the most scenic parts of the county we understand and recognise the local building traditions and the type of problems that can develop. Providing an accurate assessment of an historic building requires a deep and broad understanding of multiple building types, materials and building techniques and the effect that age and alterations can have on the integrity of the building.

Buying an old building involves a certain degree of risk; buying a listed building involves an additional layer. due to the legislation that protects them. Our survey reports not only provide the highest level of detail, but they also alert you to potential breaches of development control, including listed building consent, for which you as the incoming owner, assume full responsibility.
There are very few Building Surveyors trained and experienced enough to provide an accurate and balanced assessment of a property with a long and complex architectural development. As such, it is unrealistic to expect a general surveyor to have the same level of experience as a surveyor who specialises in historic buildings. We survey all types of historic and listed buildings, and although many of the properties we inspect are high value, we also inspect humble cottages and town houses.
We understand that our clients are trusting us to advise them on what is the most expensive purchase they are ever likely to make. We work hard to repay that trust by providing the very best service we can. Here at NPA, we keep our clients informed at every step of the way. We respond quickly and take the time to listen and address our clients concerns. As a small family business, we provide a bespoke competitively priced listed building survey service for anyone considering the purchase, repair or development of a historic or listed building.

We are regular visitors to Warwickshire, and have inspected several important listed buildings in towns and villages such as Stratford Upon Avon, Ilmington, Whichford and Arrow, as well as some of the larger towns and villages, including the city of Warwick itself. Warwickshire has a diverse and rich history, with a mix of rural, older, historic properties and new builds, and this has resulted in many locally distinctive styles. From the 16th-century Tudor-style half-timbered architecture, featuring exposed wooden frameworks with plaster or wattle-and-daub infill, typified by William Shakespeare birthplace on Henley Street in Strafford, thatch roofed cottages in Shottery, townhouse merchant homes in the towns, and rustic timber cottages in the surrounding villages. Timber framed buildings are common, and we have inspected many important ones across the county.
16th-century timber-framed buildings with rendered or wattle-and-daub infill, typified by Shakespeare’s birthplace on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon, to thatched cottages in Shottery, historic townhouses in market towns, and vernacular cottages in the surrounding countryside. The county has an exceptionally varied historic built environment. Our Warwickshire listed building surveys are tailored to the particular needs of buyers, owners and developers dealing with traditional and heritage properties.
