Historic fabric with a continuing commercial life
Wilton, west of Salisbury, has a history closely associated with carpet production. Former factory premises have been adapted for independent businesses at Wilton Village, illustrating the reuse of buildings within the town.
If you are considering a home or business premises in an adapted older building, ask which parts of the fabric were retained and how they are maintained. The relationship between the original construction and later fit out can affect the questions your survey needs to answer.
Local background: Wilton Town Council: history and reuse of the former factory.
Before you buy
RICS home surveys in Wilton
RICS Level 3 is worth discussing for an older Wilton home that has been converted or substantially altered. RICS Level 2 may suit a conventional property in reasonable condition. If a business use forms part of the purchase, provide those details so the inspection can be agreed on an appropriate residential or commercial basis.
Your report gives you a basis for reviewing the purchase and raising repair questions before you commit. Tell us about your plans for the building so the advice addresses the decisions you need to make.

Original fabric and the present use
A conversion can give an older building a new layout without renewing every external element. The survey should help you understand the condition of the relevant fabric as well as the accommodation you see at a viewing. Ask for any available maintenance information and records of the conversion work.
Moisture and repair choices
Where an older wall shows dampness, understanding the moisture source is a better starting point than choosing a treatment from the stain alone. The investigation considers the surrounding building and reported history. This can help define a repair that addresses the cause rather than only renewing the internal finish.
Already have a report highlighting one concern? A specific defect survey can focus on that issue. For persistent moisture, our damp investigation service helps you decide what action the building needs.
