From Conventional Homes to Complex Structures
Whether you are buying a modern apartment or a sprawling period property, we offer the full suite of RICS Home Surveys to protect your investment:
- RICS Level 1: A basic "traffic light" check for modern, conventional homes built from common materials.
- RICS Level 2 (Homebuyer Report): The most popular choice for properties in reasonable condition, providing an intermediate look at the structure and grounds.
- RICS Level 3 (Building Survey): Essential for older, run-down, or significantly altered buildings. This is our most detailed service, checking every window and door to identify hidden risks.
Commercial Expertise and Lease Negotiations
Beyond residential surveys, we have years of experience acting for both Landlords and Tenants. We handle Rent Reviews and Lease Renewals for a variety of commercial properties, focusing on settling cases efficiently and attaining mutually amicable solutions without unnecessary costs or delays. We understand the local market and use our connections with solicitors and agents to get the best results for our clients.
