Allen & Smith Ltd

We are Allen & Smith Chartered Surveyors, an independent firm dedicated to providing a dynamic and personal approach to property. Operating from our offices in Berkshire, Essex, and Kent, we bridge the gap between corporate efficiency and the tailored service of a local practice.

Whether you are a first-time buyer in Reading or a commercial landlord in Essex, we understand that property is likely your most significant asset. Our mission is to provide the clarity you need to make informed decisions without the jargon.

We have carved out a particular niche as independent RICS registered valuers for Help to Buy and Shared Ownership schemes. We specifically satisfy the criteria for Target HCA, ensuring your valuation is accepted without delay when you are looking to sell or re-mortgage.

"The speed of response and information provided was outstanding. I would highly recommend using their services."

We offer the full suite of RICS Home Surveys, ensuring you never pay for more than you need, but always get the protection you deserve:

• Level 1: Ideal for modern, conventional homes (available in our Berkshire office areas).
• Level 2: Our most popular choice for properties under 100 years old, providing a clear 'traffic light' rating of condition.
• Level 3: Essential for older, run-down, or significantly altered buildings where a deep dive into the structure and fabric is required.

Beyond residential surveys, we provide robust support for commercial clients through Rent Reviews and Lease Renewals, settling cases efficiently to avoid undue costs for both landlords and tenants.
