Silk Sharples Jennings, (SSJ) have staked their reputation on thorough assessments of two properties for us, bringing peace of mind about the good the bad and the ugly in all they expertly surveyed. With years of practice, Paul Sharples saved us thousands of pounds in what would have been a disastrous investment. He left no stone unturned, and from the tallest to the smallest of details he exhausted all efforts to expose his findings until the proof became apparent. We exited his office feeling relieved that the SSJ survey had been carried out, rather than full of regret that we had not purchased the property. Attention to detail has been a key theme throughout both survey reports. With a quick turnaround from Sian in the office, we could liaise using our brochure to pinpoint exactly what we needed to do and obtain realistic quotes, so we could continue with executive decision making and keep our senses tuned in to where we were at and what we needed to do. Mr. Sharples went beyond his inspections, seeing us personally to review exactly what his findings were. He ensured a descriptive and fair assessment of the second property and nailed every detail until we knew exactly what we were looking at. We are now confident about our purchase. Don't waste time buying a house and all it encompasses without consulting the best that money can buy. You might think you will save time and money by not doing a survey; but I sincerely doubt it. Even when the jobs listed are finalised on the property, we will continue to save thousands more than it cost us to pay Silk, Sharples, Jennings to ensure everything is correct and proper inside and out of the house, making a decent survey from SSJ the ultimate weapon in ensuring a watertight home If you are fortunate enough to come across a limited survey report, lucky you; it won't be because SSJ have cut corners, it'll be because you found an amazing house with nothing more than a solid foundation with iron clad assurance! 100% recommended.

Fantastic service! David Silk at SSJ recently designed plans for an extension for us, and managed the planning application from start to finish. The process ran smoothly throughout, entirely due to the professional, reliable and friendly service I received from David. The plans were excellent, David understood what we were trying to achieve and used his knowledge & experience to suggest changes, which improved the design immeasurably. We were kept updated regularly during the process and David always delivered on time and exceeded my expectations. I would recommend David at SSJ to anyone in a heartbeat, clearly expert at what he does and a pleasure to work with.

Professional, reliable and helpful. David Silk recently designed and guided us through planning for a first floor extension, without his guidance I'm convinced we would not have planning permission. The drawings I received were high quality, David thought of everything from head height to space and light. David used his expertise, experience and initiative to liase with the planning office, ensuring an acceptable solution to meet planning requirements could be reached without the need for a lengthy appeal. When required David submitted redraws for my review within hours. David even took the time to contact me to inform me of regulation changes that would effect the build. I could not be happier with the level of service I have received.

As a novice to the planning game. It can be daunting to say the least! on friends recommendation my partner and I approached David Silk as our preferred surveyor to plan our home extension. We have found David to be very professional, helpful,  easy to talk to. Approachable and considerate to what we thought might have been at times, basic questions. David always listened to our concerns and has assisted with instructing a structural engineer and approved building inspectors.  We have no hesitation in recommending David Silk of Silk Sharples Jennings Chartered Surveyors to assist anyone with their building ventures.

From overseas we bought an old house needing extensive renovation which due to Covid were unable to see it.  We engaged Colin to design and manage the renovations and alterations.  Despite all our communications being over Zoom etc Colin quickly grasped what we were wanting and developed plans meeting our requirements to retain the character of the house whilst bringing it up to modern standards and complying with all the regulations. and attending to the smallest detail.  He obtained us an excellent builder and as they ran in to various and some significant challenges kept us informed and overcame them to great results! Colin handled all the beaurocracy, finances etc and made the whole process stress free for us.  Despite significant extra unforseen work being necessary he was able to make savings elsewhere that enabled it to come in pretty much on budget. Now we have finally seen the house and are living in it we are very pleased with the result.  We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Colin.

Couldn't have done more for us in our extension planning and application. David was clear in his communication every step of the way, listening to our needs and guiding us through the possibilities and their implications. Felt well looked after and the entire process was smooth and trouble free. Would definitely recommend and use again

A Few of the Services We Provide Are:

Does a new build property require a survey?

Yes, even new build properties in Welshpool should undergo an independent survey. Conducting thorough due diligence is essential to ensure the property is in sound condition and free from any construction defects or issues with materials. This helps safeguard your investment and ensures peace of mind.

How do I know which survey to choose?

Selecting the right survey can be daunting, but professional advice can simplify the process. At Silk Sharples Jennings, we are ready to assist you. Don’t hesitate to reach out—we’ll discuss the available survey options with you, helping you make a well-informed decision.

How soon should I book a survey as part of my property search?

We advise booking a survey as soon as your offer on a property in Welshpool has been accepted or before you sign contracts for a lease. Scheduling the survey early allows you to identify any potential issues before you commit from a legal standpoint. This also provides the opportunity to negotiate if the survey uncovers any significant defects or necessary repairs.
