Specialists in Historic and Seafront Properties
Living on the coast brings unique challenges. We have developed a specific awareness of the structural issues facing seafront properties, from salt-air exposure to specific weathering patterns. Furthermore, our team possesses expert knowledge of historic and listed buildings, ensuring that heritage assets are surveyed with the sensitivity and technical accuracy they require.
Advanced Technology for Deeper Insights
We believe in using the best tools available to protect your investment. That is why we offer:
- Drone Surveys: To inspect high-level roofs and chimneys that are otherwise inaccessible.
- Thermal Imaging: To identify hidden damp, insulation gaps, and heat loss without invasive measures.
- Defect Investigations: Tailored, limited inspections starting from £395 + VAT for when you need a specific problem solved quickly.
Professional Block Management & Commercial Services
Beyond individual surveys, our dedicated Property Management division provides comprehensive block management for long leasehold properties. As ARMA-accredited agents, we take the stress out of service charges, maintenance schedules, and health and safety compliance. We also support commercial clients with detailed Schedules of Condition and Dilapidations surveys, essential for anyone entering or exiting a commercial lease.
"Our assessment of what must be done and when is independent of private interests and based solely upon our duty to keep your premises in good repair."
Whether you need a RICS Home Survey to secure your dream house or an Expert Witness report for a boundary dispute, we provide the friendly help and professional advice you need to move forward with confidence.
