We carry out residential structural survey and commercial survey in Chatteris. Chatteris is a town which is situated in Cambridgeshire.
Chatteris is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Cateriz and Cetriz.
Boudica was Queen of the Iceni people in Norfolk . She was outraged that the Romans had invaded Britain and in around AD60 she rose up and led a revolt against them. Boudica is reported to have sought refuge in Chatteris when fleeing from the Romans. She fought a strong battle, but was eventually defeated by Suetonius the Roman Governor and his troops.
During the reign of King Edgar, in around 1000 A.D., the town housed a Benedictine Nunnery and the Park Streets mark the boundary where it stood. Much of the old town was destroyed by a huge fire between 1306-1310 and in fact the fire destroyed the Nunnery. To north of the town is the famous Forty Foot Drain (also known as Vermuyden's Drain), which is important to aid the drainage of the Fens .
The town has good transport links to London with a train station and good network of roads.
The church of St Peter & St Paul was built in 1162. From the top of the tower it is possible to see the spires of Peterborough and Ely Cathedrals. Chatteris museum in Church Lane first opened in 1942 and houses many treasures from the area, from the pre-historic to modern day history. School children are often welcome visitors where subjects such as the Victorian era and farming in the Fens are brought to life by dedicated staff, most of whom are volunteers.Chatteris is a market town. Crops, such as potatoes, carrots, wheat etc are grown in the rich Fenland soil. The town has benefited from the property boom, with many new houses being built recently such as the large exclusive homes in Albert Way . If you are purchasing a new house in Chatteris or indeed an old house, then please call 1stAssociated.co.uk on 0800 298 5424 where we will be able to explain the benefit of having an independent survey by one of our RICS surveyors rather than just a mortgage survey.
If you are planning to book a building survey on a property you are purchasing in Chatteris 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 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.
