Broadstone - a new desirable area in Dorset

From the prestigious roads around Broadstone Broadway to the quieter streets bordering Upton Heath, Broadstone offers some of the most desirable family housing in East Dorset. PFM Inspections carries out surveys regularly in the area — so when you book with us, you're working with surveyors who know the local property stock.

We're a small, RICS-regulated firm of chartered surveyors based in Poole, covering the whole of Dorset and beyond. We don't rush jobs, we don't outsource, and we always make time for a conversation — whether that's before you book, on the day of the inspection, or when you've had time to read your report.

What to Know About Properties in Broadstone and Corfe Mullen

Broadstone commands above-average property values and attracts steady buyer demand, making a thorough survey well worth the investment. Much of the housing stock dates from the Edwardian period through to the mid-20th century — solid construction, but with features that benefit from an experienced eye. Extended properties, older drainage, and non-standard roof structures are all common findings in this area. Corfe Mullen, immediately to the north-west, shares much of the same character — a mix of older village cottages near the historic core, post-war family homes, and more recent residential development, set amongst heathland and the River Stour valley.

Our Surveys

Level 2 Home Survey (RICS Homebuyer Report) — a thorough inspection for properties in reasonable condition. Clear, traffic-light rated and written in plain English.
Level 3 Building Survey — our most detailed inspection, recommended for older, extended, or non-standard properties. Essential for the many period homes across Parkstone, Canford Cliffs and Branksome Park.
Party Wall Awards — planning a loft conversion or rear extension? We can act as your appointed Party Wall Surveyor and ensure everything proceeds properly under the Party Wall Act 1996.
