Rich in history and architectural significance, the property ranks among the finest we have inspected. Adding a residence of this calibre to our portfolio underscores the confidence clients place in us when making high-value investments.

The inspection considered the roof, walls, windows, internal finishes and building services, with all observed defects, risks and maintenance needs reported clearly and impartially. Particular care was given to the property’s heritage characteristics, where traditional materials and construction methods benefit from nuanced, context-specific advice.
