Howe Surveyors Ltd. Surveyors you can trust

Howe Surveyors Ltd was setup by Johnathan Howe, a former builder with over 20+ years of construction trade experience in 2024. His time in the construction trade included actual hands-on experience  of a number of related trades including bricklaying, joinery, ground works, roofing and internal finishing works. This experience included repair works to existing properties, and the construction of new builds on local small development sites that relied upon good standards of work being implemented to showcase the services that were offered by the family firm that he was part of. After working in the construction trade for over two decades he took the decision to make a career change to a profession that would utilise the experience gained in the construction industry by completing an industry recognised training diploma with SAVA, this enabled him to enter the profession at AssocRICS level, and to also provide residential valuations after gaining his VRS certification. His career started out with working for other surveying practices in the North East area, and after 3 years he made the decision to become a self employed surveyor who wanted to help advise clients with pre-purchase surveys in his area by providing a more personal bespoke level of service to his clients. 

 Our reports can take into consideration any plans, or concerns that you may have for any prospective property purchase. We use technology where appropriate, to ensure that we can provide accurate and relevant advice that is tailored to answer your concerns and queries, within a bespoke report that is made for you. 

When you instruct us to provide a survey on your behalf we will always attempt to guide you throughout the whole process as much as we can so that you can make the right choices on your purchase, based on the jargon free, straight forward information and advice we provide in our reports. Telephone conversations are offered to all clients to go through the report to explain what things mean, and what the next steps should be.

When Johnathan is not surveying properties for clients he likes to spend time with his wife, three children, and two rescue dogs (Betty and Geoff) in the countryside in and around the Bedale area. Johnathan is also a keen mountain biker, snowboarder and road cyclist who likes to keep fit and active, and this enables him to enjoy some of the stunning local area that he is happy to call home, even when it is raining!

We offer pre-purchase Snagging Reports, RICS Level 2 and 3 Home Surveys, and seller condition surveys for vendors looking to gain an idea of any defects that may affect the sale of their property. We also provide Help to Buy Valuation reports, and Inheritance Tax/ Probate Valuation reports. We can provide personalized solutions to meet the unique needs of our clients.

So please do get in touch with us to see how we can help.
