Moving to Kingsway: A Homebuyer’s Guide to Property & Surveys
About the Area
Kingsway is a major modern residential development situated to the south of Gloucester, built on the former RAF Quedgeley site. It has rapidly grown into a vibrant community, popular with young professionals and growing families. The area benefits from purpose built local amenities, including retail parks, schools, and easy access to the M5 motorway for commuters.
Typical Property Types
The housing stock in Kingsway is exclusively modern, consisting of properties constructed from the early 2000s to the present day. Buyers will find a wide mix of contemporary apartments, townhouses, and spacious detached family homes. While these newer properties are generally energy efficient, buyers should look out for typical new build issues such as plaster shrinkage, thermal movement, and potential snagging defects.
Our Surveying Services in Kingsway
Even when purchasing a modern home, securing independent professional advice is highly recommended. We advise buyers to commission RICS Level 2 Home Surveys to ensure there are no hidden defects or ongoing settlement issues. If you notice significant cracking in your modern property, our team can provide a Structural Engineer Report to assess the structural integrity. We also provide accurate RICS valuations to confirm you are paying the correct market price for your new home.
