Bunbury blends period cottages, larger village homes and rural properties on the edge of open countryside. Many homes have been extended or updated over time, so surveys need to check roof structures, drainage, moisture performance and the quality of past alterations.
We deliver clear, independent reports that highlight priority repairs, likely costs and sensible next steps, whether you are buying, renovating or maintaining a long-term home.
For wider coverage nearby, see our Chester survey hub.
If you are unsure which survey level fits a Bunbury property, compare our RICS Level 2 Home Survey with the more detailed Level 3 Building Survey, and add a Damp & Mould Survey when moisture is a concern.
