Sladden and Barton Residential Surveyors
Sladden and Barton is run as family business providing Residential Surveys to Property within a 15 mile radius of our office. This takes in Milton Keynes and Northampton along with all the villages in the surrounding areas, which is a large area. There will be some properties that we would not conduct a survey on, this is not because we do not like the area or village, it is simply that we may not have enough experience with that type of property. There are so many types of property that a lot of surveyors tend to become specific to certain types.
