Information on Ampthill

The market town of Ampthill is situated just off the A507 close to junction 12 of the M1 in the county of Bedfordshire and is the county town. As Chartered surveyors we often carry out residential and commercial building surveys in the town of Ampthill and many of the surrounding delightful villages. Surrounding villages include Millbrook to the west, How End to the north, the large village of Maulden to the east and the town of Flitwick to the south with its Leisure centre, large supermarket, Council Rufus Centre and railway station which has routes to Bedford and London . In June 2010 Ampthill was twinned with Nissan-lez-Enserune, a picturesque village in the Languedoc-Rousillon region of France . Ampthill has many Listed buildings and the High Street boasts several Georgian fronted buildings which actually hide some which date back as far as the Medieval period. John Bunyan's once Beautiful House ruins lie at the north east of the town which was attributed to being the inspiration together with the Bedfordshire countryside for his book Pilgrim's Progress which was published back in 1678.

Building Survey Ampthill

If you are planning to book a building survey on a property you are purchasing in Ampthill or the surrounding area then we would like to assure you that we always send a suitably qualified and experienced surveyor to carry out the job. This ensures that you get expert advice on any issues that we may find with the property we are surveying. All our surveyors are members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors - RICS - and are Independent Chartered Building Surveyors. Being 'independent' means that they are working for you and you alone; they do not work for a mortgage company or an estate agents, so they have your best interests at heart.

All our survey contain lots of images, clearly showing any problems that we have identified at the property such as woodworm, rising damp or cracking to the walls. We also use sketches in our survey which are aimed at helping you to understand how certain areas are constructed or to help show more clearly a problem that we have identified. You will also find lots of definitions of any building terminology that we may use in our survey, as we firmly believe in 'Plain English' and really want you to fully understand what we are saying in the survey report.
