Over Three Decades of Lancashire Property Expertise

Established on New Year’s Day in 1990, we are an independent, family-run firm of Chartered Surveyors, Property Consultants, and Estate Agents. Based in our showroom offices in the heart of Chorley Town Centre, we have spent more than 30 years building a reputation for integrity, local insight, and professional excellence.

Whether you are a first-time buyer, a seasoned commercial investor, or a developer looking for the next big opportunity, we provide a steady hand and expert advice. We don't just list properties; we provide the technical depth and market intelligence required to make informed decisions.

Why Homeowners and Investors Trust Our Team

We believe that property is about more than just transactions—it’s about people and their investments. Our approach is warm and approachable, yet strictly professional, ensuring every client receives a bespoke service tailored to their specific needs.

Comprehensive Professional Services Under One Roof

Buying or leasing a property is a significant commitment. We are here to ensure you understand exactly what you are getting into. Our dedicated Survey Department provides independent advice that protects your interests, offering everything from Homebuyer Surveys to full Domestic Building Surveys (structural surveys).

For our commercial clients, we offer a sophisticated suite of services designed to maximise the value of your assets. This includes:

• Valuations: RICS-compliant reports for probate, insurance, and commercial mortgages.
• Lease Advisory: Expert negotiation for rent reviews and lease renewals.
• Technical Reports: Detailed Schedules of Condition and Dilapidation.
• Business Rate Appeals: Helping you manage and reduce your overheads.

Specialist Support for Developers and Landowners

We have a long-standing track record of working with developers across the North West. Our decades of experience allow us to provide highly accurate Development Appraisals for sites with redevelopment potential. We don't just value the land; we can liaise with local planning departments and manage the entire Planning Application process on your behalf.

From agricultural land and building plots to industrial units and retail shops, we have the local data and the professional network to ensure your property reaches the right audience. We advertise across major platforms like Rightmove and Property Index, combined with targeted local press coverage, to ensure maximum visibility.
