Appraisal

We are Appraisal Surveyors, a firm of RICS Chartered Building Surveyors and Registered Property Valuers established in 2011 by Peter Loizou MRICS. Based in London and serving the entire South East, we provide the technical expertise you need to navigate the residential property market with confidence.

Why Homebuyers and Investors Trust Our Reports

Buying a home is the most significant investment you will ever make. We believe you deserve more than a generic mortgage valuation that only protects the lender. Our RICS Home Survey Reports (Levels 1, 2, and 3) are designed to protect you.

We are known for our thoroughness and clarity. While many surveyors provide a standard document, we go further:

• Plain English: No confusing jargon—just clear, actionable advice.
• Visual Evidence: We typically provide a disk with up to 100 photos of the property so you can see exactly what we see.
• Colour-Coded Findings: Our simple traffic-light system helps you immediately identify which issues are urgent and which are routine maintenance.

Specialists in Leasehold Extensions and Negotiations

Navigating a lease extension is a complex legal and financial process. We provide formal RICS Red Book Valuations to determine the exact premium you should pay or receive.

Beyond the valuation, we act as your advocate. We offer full negotiation services for both freeholders and leaseholders and provide expert representation at Tribunals if a settlement cannot be reached. Whether your lease is approaching the critical 80-year mark or you are looking to assign a notice during a sale, we have the expertise to guide you through.

Protecting Your Commercial and Legal Interests

Our expertise extends beyond residential purchases. We provide a suite of professional services for landlords, tenants, and legal professionals:

• Schedules of Condition: Essential for commercial tenants to limit future dilapidation liabilities.
• Taxation Valuations: Accurate assessments for Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax, and Matrimonial/Division of Equity purposes.
• Commercial Agency: Leveraging extensive marketing experience to achieve successful lettings and sales in the London market.

"Quick, clear and well priced - This helped us decide what to do given the problems with the property we chose and potentially saved us from a long haul nightmare."

Whether you are a first-time buyer needing a Level 2 survey or a freeholder requiring a complex valuation, we provide an impartial, reliable, and cost-effective service tailored to your specific property needs.
