Chartered Surveyors in Manningtree

Located on the River Stour, Manningtree adjoins the built-up areas of Lawford and Mistley, where the three parishes together are sometimes referred to simply as ‘Manningtree’. The town’s name is thought to derive from ‘many trees’. Manningtree’s commerce grew around the wool trade from the 15th century to the 18th century. Now it is a flourishing village with a number of local businesses, including cafes, florists, leisure centres and more. Manningtree is also a claimant for the title of the smallest town in England. Properties in Manningtree range from impressive detached and semi-detached houses to bungalows overlooking exquisite farmland.

Local Experience

Chiltern Associates is surveying practice with a great deal of experience in the Manningtree area as well as many surrounding towns and villages. We are totally independent of any estate agents or larger firms and as such focus on providing detailed surveying services coupled with customer service and care. Purchasing a property or going through a property improvement process is something that should be taken seriously and done only when well informed of all potential issues. We feel Chiltern Associates is well placed to make sure all our clients are in possession of all the facts before entering into any kind of financial agreement.

Detailed Explanation

As part of the surveying process we feel it is very important to spend time going over the report in detail with the client. After each report is sent out we offer the chance to then review the report looking at any issues found, the evidence behind them and what they may mean for the property and the purchase itself. This is all part of the service and something that some larger practices simply do not have time to offer.

Local Knowledge

Special challenges in Manningtree includes possible flooding from the River Stour, rising damp and various special treatments which may be needed for historic properties. It is important that homeowners looking to purchase property in Manningtree seek professional advice from an experienced surveyor. This is because a detailed professional survey will ensure that clients are aware of the full condition and all potential defects of the property before they commit to buy.

With an average property price of £270,000 (2016), Manningtree is a wonderful little parish and epitomises quaint countryside living. However, professional advice is always recommended when looking at any property, particularly a listed or historic property. With specialist advice and experience in all residential property types and some commercial types, Chiltern Associates can help with a clear and concise survey designed to meet your needs.

Many thanks for your very efficient and timely reply to all communications. I particularly appreciated your advice on partitioning to create a new bedroom and the building regulation consents. A very comprehensive report/photos and your close attention to detail is much appreciated Thanks and best regards Bill
Surveyor was prompt, communicative and efficient. Work was to agreed timetable allowing Completion in 22 days all up and also good value – especially as it enabled me to improve on the sale price. Very happy.

Dear Nina, I can advise that yes the report was very easy to read and as such this made it quick to go through the list and appoint to different contractors so thank you again.
I just wanted to write a quick note to say a big thank you for your work on the property. I was very impressed with the professional, prompt report you sent through and therefore I would be happy to act as a reference for you in the future. I think it is increasingly difficult to know who to trust when shopping for anything on the internet, and I was delighted with your work at a reasonable price. Read more

Hi Nina, Just to say thank you very much for the prompt and comprehensive survey you carried out for me. Hard copy received and awaiting a damp specialist to ring me with a quote.
Anyway, thank you again for the very helpful discussion. It was invaluable.
Thank you so much for this, along with all your hard work and quick responses to our request for a homebuyer report you have made this process as less stressful as possible for myself and my parents, which I thank you greatly for.
We received your report last night. A very good job, many thanks
