Holdens Chartered Surveyors
Blackburn
Pleasington Golf Club, Pleasington Lane, Blackburn, BB2 5JF, Blackburn
Founded by Michael Holden and his three sons, we are a family-run RICS practice blending traditional expertise with modern technology. From heritage surveys to commercial consultancy, we provide the clarity and precision your property investment deserves across the North West.
A Family-Run Practice Built on Local Trust
We believe that property advice should be as personal as it is professional. Founded in 2014 by Michael Holden, our practice began in a small office above Accrington Market Hall. Today, we have grown into a multi-office firm led by Michael and his three sons—Eddy, Joe, and Bill.
As a family-run business, our reputation is everything. We’ve built our culture on being approachable, independent, and fiercely committed to our clients' interests. Whether you are buying your first home or managing a multi-million pound commercial portfolio, we treat every instruction with the same level of meticulous detail.
From First-Time Buyers to Heritage Landmarks
We don't just tick boxes; we provide a narrative of a building's health. Our team specialises in a broad spectrum of residential services, with a particular niche in Heritage and Prime Property Surveys. We understand the unique challenges of older buildings and conservation areas, ensuring that history is preserved while your investment is protected.
- RICS Level 1, 2 & 3 Surveys: Tailored reports for every property type.
- Defect Diagnosis: Expert analysis of damp, cracking, or roofing issues.
- Specialist Valuations: From Help to Buy and Probate to Matrimonial and Taxation requirements.
Strategic Commercial Consultancy & Quantity Surveying
Beyond residential moves, we act as strategic partners for businesses, developers, and educational institutions. Our commercial team combines technical building knowledge with sharp commercial insight to help you optimise your assets.
"We blend traditional surveying expertise with modern technology, providing clear, practical advice to protect and enhance our clients' property interests."
We are particularly proud of our work with schools, academies, and housing associations, providing everything from Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) to full Project Management and Quantity Surveying.
Our Regional Reach at a Glance
While our head office remains in Blackburn, our roots spread deep across the North West. We operate from local hubs to ensure our surveyors have the genuine local knowledge required for accurate valuations and assessments.
