Chartered surveyors in Merseyside
6 RICS surveyors covering 17 towns and 56 postcode districts across Merseyside. RICS Home Survey Level 2 and Level 3, and RICS Residential Valuation.
The Mersey organises this county for us, and even the ground question changes as you cross it: the Lancashire Coalfield runs under St Helens, Prescot, Huyton and Newton-le-Willows on the northern side, while over the water Bebington and Heswall sit at the edge of the Flintshire Coalfield, so which mining record matters depends on the bank a buyer is choosing. The housing spreads right across the eras, with pre-1900 homes the largest single group and post-2000 stock close behind. Of the 260-plus reports we have issued here since 2023, valuations account for almost half, a reflection of how much bank-instructed work Liverpool and St Helens generate. The Irish Sea and the two estuaries sit against Crosby, Formby and the Wirral coast, so the exposed elevations and the flood position both get proper attention. Two appointments in one day here can sit a century apart in age, and the checklist is rebuilt for each one.

293 reports issued
across 13 Merseyside towns since 2023, from our own job records. Issued reports only, counted the same way the town pages count them.
4 of our Merseyside towns sit over the Lancashire Coalfield, so mining history is a standing question there and we say plainly when a Coal Authority report is worth commissioning.
2 of our Merseyside towns sit over the Flintshire Coalfield, so mining history is a standing question there and we say plainly when a Coal Authority report is worth commissioning.
Flood mapping is checked on every instruction here, and it earns its keep: the Environment Agency maps run thickest around St Helens (18 designated areas nearby), Prescot (14 designated areas nearby), Newton-le-Willows (14 designated areas nearby).
