Carried out a Full Building Survey today on this impressive Arts and Crafts 1910 property in Herts. It just reminds me why I enjoy surveying period properties. The Government have also released a useful 'How to sell' guide providing homeowners with a helpful overview of the process of selling a home.
This week I surveyed a period property in The Green, Finchingfield, Essex, There is a mix of medieval, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th century buildings. The picturesque village is often described as "the most photographed village in the country".

Anglian Home Surveyors Ltd is owned by Senior Surveyor Raphael Stipic, an established, fully qualified, accredited and truly independent Residential Building Surveyor in Cambridge. Anglian Home Surveyors focus on providing professional and reliable surveying products on residential properties only, including historic buildings.
Our MiHome Buyer surveys are for properties built post 1860 that are in an average or better condition and that are of a standard construction type. It's written on ground-breaking, photo-driven surveyor software it's competitively priced and delivered in a consistent and reliable format. It's a scary fact that nearly 80% of buyers don't check that their property is safe or what work needs doing.
We are delighted to offer Mi Buy-to-Let Surveys for private landlords across Cambridgeshire. A Mi Buy-to-Let Survey combines a survey of the property condition with a review of the Health & Safety matters affecting property in the private rented sector (PRS). Many of the hazards that may be present are the result of condition-related defects.
The MiBuilding Survey is a full building survey (formerly known as a structural survey). It is the UK's only quality controlled, fixed format full survey and you can rely on its report to help you make informed decisions about your new home. The Mi Building Survey is mainly for properties older than 1860, of unusual construction, extensively extended or you intend to carry out significant alterations.
This is a level 3 survey for historic, larger, listed, unusual, cherished properties that require more attention to detail. When purchasing this type of building, it is essential to obtain independent specialist advice from someone who understands traditional building techniques.
Surveying old buildings requires a completely different approach, as many older buildings have defects which have run with them for many years, while others have been spoilt by inappropriate repairs in the past, or over-restoration.Informed sensible advice is therefore of the utmost importance.

Raphael gave us an amazing service. His in-depth knowledge and attention to detail was appreciated and he was always available and approachable. The exercise identified many current and potential issues that we did not see with the building. We would highly recommend Anglian Home Surveyors and will use them again.

A house is most likely the biggest purchase in one's lifetime, which means that knowing what we are committing to pay for is key. Anglian Home Surveyors's survey will give you the right level of information to make that informed decision.
I was impressed with the professional yet friendly approach from the initial contact, where Raphael explained what I should expect from the survey and noted my concerns, to the follow up phone calls and emails. All done in a very straightforward manner, clear and concise, and with very helpful information throughout. Once Peter Chapman concluded the survey

This is the second time we have used Raphael after being recommended his services from a friend in Cambridge. Both times, Raphael has gone above and beyond. During our last house purchase, Raphael provided a Home Buyers Survey which was incredibly thorough. The transaction was complex, with lots of last minute structural questions (200 year old house), and Raphael supported us right up to the exchange. I wish we could do more to thank him for his help, it was ultimately his confidence and being on the end of a phone that got us through to signing on the dotted line. The vendor owes Raphael a nice
