‘Many people sadly spend more time and effort purchasing a private car than they do buying a house at far greater cost’ says Graham Newton who willingly takes his clients on a personal tour of each property at the end of the survey to outline its construction and condition including the electrical, plumbing, heating and drainage installations as well as the landscaping and possible economical design improvements which might enhance its value. Born and bred in Esher, Surrey, one week after the start of WWII, as the son of a Chartered Quantity Surveyor, educated at KCS Wimbledon and Brixton School of Building, (now the University of the South Bank where he returned as a Senior Lecturer in Surveying), Graham brings a wealth of historic experience and current on-going CPD training to Newtons Building Surveyors. His wartime house was hit by a ‘doodle-bug’ bomb and he can recognise a war time prefab even when brick clad as well as the 900 sq ft houses built in the post WWII Building Licence period.
