Helen Thring
Marketing & Operations Manager
Helen is Nick’s sister and she successfully set up and established our Lettings Department back in 2013. Having spent much of her career prior to DY working in marketing, Helen now heads up our Marketing & Operations department. This suits her organisational skills, creativity and keen eye for detail perfectly! She loves taking long walks with her Labrador Finn and when time permits, travelling and visiting new places around the globe.
Top of my bucket list is…
To keep travelling, visiting more new countries and ultimately, one day explore Europe in a (very comfortable!) camper van.
My guilty pleasure…
Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream. Probably best just not to buy it!
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
Less shy/more confident. Still working on it…
If I were a superhero, my superpower would be…
To help find a cure for cancer and dementia. Here’s hoping.
On Sunday morning, you can usually find me…
Up bright and early for a long dog walk in the country.
You might be surprised to know that…
One of my earliest qualifications as a teenager was as a Clarks trained shoe fitter. Ohh, all those back to school shoes!

Unlike a mortgage valuation, an RICS Homebuyer’s Report or Condition Report, a Building Survey is usually commissioned by a landowner or buyer in order to further investigate the structural condition and/or defects in a building.
A Condition Report or Homebuyer’s Report, the former of which includes elements of a Condition Report, will summarise a property’s general condition. A Structural Report or Building Survey will identify and report on the condition of the property and go into more detail to identify specific faults.
A structural report is usually undertaken by a Chartered Building Surveyor or Engineer, rather than a Chartered Valuation Surveyor, although the former may also specialise in Building Reports.
A Structural or Building Survey is sometimes commissioned after receipt of a critical Homebuyers or Condition Report. It will not usually include a valuation of the premises. Bear this in mind when commissioning reports for a lender and consider asking the surveyor to provide a valuation at the same time. Make sure any valuer has the relevant qualifications before instructing them to proceed.
