Expert Guidance from a Team You Can Trust
Our strength lies in our people. Our team, including senior surveyors like David Toogood, Gary Palmer, and Guy Harrison, brings a wealth of experience across residential and commercial sectors. We aren't just "report writers"; we are problem solvers.
From Jeremy Goldney’s expertise in complex valuations to our dedicated structural engineers, we provide a holistic approach to property health. We take the time to explain our findings, ensuring you understand the "why" behind the survey.
Specialists in Party Wall & Complex Valuations
We are widely recognised for our expertise in Party Wall Matters. If you’re planning an extension or your neighbour has served notice, we act as your expert guides to ensure the process is handled legally and fairly.
Our valuation department is equally robust, covering:
- Lease Extensions & Enfranchisement: Helping you protect your asset's value.
- Tax & Legal Valuations: Including Probate, Capital Gains Tax, and Matrimonial requirements.
- Help to Buy & Shared Ownership: Specialist RICS valuations to help you staircase or repay your loan.
"Our mission is simple: to provide the most thorough, independent property advice in the South East, delivered with a personal touch that the big corporate firms can't match."
Comprehensive Coverage Across the Region
With 13 local offices—from Hampstead and Islington to Kingston and Bexley—we combine the reach of a large firm with the nuanced knowledge of a local surveyor. We know the specific risks associated with different postcodes, from subsidence trends in North London to the unique structural quirks of West London’s historic builds.
