Churton is a sought-after Cheshire village—classic brick cottages, country houses, barn conversions and modern infill along quiet lanes. Buyers must be alert to boundary, drainage and planning quirks, plus the risks of damp, timber decay, and the practicalities of maintaining rural property.
Many homes are listed or within the conservation area—so repairs and upgrades require sensitive planning. Private drainage and historic repairs are frequent features. Our surveys blend local expertise with clear, practical priorities—no generic checklists, just what matters in a rural setting.
We work with buyers, owners and landlords—supporting you from first enquiry to aftercare.
Need clarity on which survey fits local properties? Explore our RICS Level 2 Home Survey, see when a Level 3 Building Survey is the best option, and request targeted Timber and Damp Investigation, Damp Survey or Damp and Mould Survey services if moisture is a concern.
