The housing stock
What we are usually working with
Milnerton spans a lot: mid-century homes on the Ridge with real character, post-war cottages closer to the lagoon, and a good spread of 1970s and 80s stock in between. Many have been altered two or three times already, and the alterations are rarely on any drawing you will be given.
The local catch
Nothing is where the plan says it is
On a house that has been changed repeatedly over sixty years, the municipal plan is a work of fiction. Walls have been moved, drains re-routed, and a previous owner has almost certainly done something creative with the electrics. We survey properly and price against what is actually there, which is why our Milnerton quotes take a little longer to produce.
