Important — this is not a building survey

This is a renovation cost assessment from a construction perspective. We are experienced property specialists, not RICS-accredited surveyors. Our summaries provide realistic contractor pricing for visible work — they do not replace a professional survey and should not be relied upon as one. We always recommend buyers obtain a full RICS survey for older or complex properties.

Common Questions

Questions about
our services.

What is a renovation cost assessment?
A renovation cost assessment is an independent review of a property that estimates the likely cost of renovating it — covering structural works, electrics, plumbing, heating, damp, roof, finishes and external works. It bridges the gap between a building survey (which identifies defects but does not price fixing them) and a contractor quote (which requires access to a property you don’t yet own).
What does the Desktop Review cost?
£99, fixed. We review the listing, photos and floor plan and produce a written renovation cost estimate within 24 hours. No site visit required, no extras, no hidden fees.
How is this different from a building survey?
A building survey (RICS Level 2 or Level 3) identifies defects and conditions — but does not tell you what it will cost to fix them. A NOROS assessment is specifically about renovation costs. We tell you what the works will cost to put right, at current contractor rates, room by room. The two services answer different questions and are often used together.
When should I get an assessment?
Ideally before making an offer. A Desktop Review can be in your hands within 24 hours of sending us the listing link — giving you the renovation cost picture before you commit to anything. For auction properties, a desktop review before the sale and a site visit assessment if you win can be arranged quickly.
Do you cover listed buildings and period properties?
Yes. Listed buildings and period properties — including Cotswold stone cottages, Victorian terraces and Georgian townhouses — are a significant part of what we assess. These require specialist knowledge of lime mortar, heritage materials and planning constraints. Contact us directly for listed building pricing.
What areas do you cover?
Site visits cover Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Oxfordshire — including the Cotswolds, Cheltenham, Cirencester, Stroud, Chippenham, Marlborough, Oxford, Witney and surrounding areas. Desktop reviews are available UK-wide.
Can I use the assessment to negotiate on price?
Yes — and many buyers do. If the assessment identifies significant renovation costs the seller hasn’t priced in, you have documented, independently-produced evidence to support a reduced offer. See our guide: Using a renovation cost assessment to negotiate on property price.
