We thrive on providing honest, quality, director-led advice with an approachable style. Whether you are an investor, landlord, or homeowner, our York-based team delivers meticulous standards in building surveying to ensure your property decisions are the right ones.

Expert Direction for Your Property Decisions

We founded Compass Building Consultancy in 2017 to bridge the gap between high-level technical expertise and a truly personable, director-led service. Based in the heart of York, we support property owners, investors, and occupiers across the North of England and beyond.

Our approach is simple: we combine traditional values with modern working practices. We understand that in the fast-paced property industry, you need more than just a report—you need tangible results and a rapid, responsive service that helps you move forward with confidence.

Led by Experience: Meet Our Directors

Our business is built on the expertise of Daniel Leaf and Aidan Sutcliffe, who both bring a wealth of experience from national multi-disciplinary consultancies.

  • Daniel Leaf (Director): A Chartered Building Surveyor with over 15 years in the industry, Daniel specialises in dilapidations and technical due diligence.
  • Aidan Sutcliffe (Director): Aidan oversees our Project Management arm, with a proven track record of delivering complex projects across all sectors, from education to high-spec industrial hubs.
  • Joe Unwin (Senior Surveyor): Joe bolsters our team with specialist knowledge in contract administration and client care, ensuring every instruction is handled with meticulous attention to detail.

From Industrial Hubs to Historic Conservation

We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Our experience is as diverse as the buildings we survey. We have successfully delivered projects for some of the UK’s largest companies, yet we remain small enough to offer a bespoke, dedicated service to every client.

"We take the time to get to know your business and commercial objectives before we undertake any work. This allows us to provide due diligence that goes far beyond a physical inspection."
