RES Property Surveyors

Why London Property Owners Choose Our Boutique Approach

We believe property advice should be clear, concise, and deeply technical without being buried in jargon. As a boutique consultancy, we offer a level of personal attention that larger firms often miss, while bringing the high-level experience our directors gained at international giants like Savills, JLL, and Cushman & Wakefield.

Whether you are a first-time buyer needing a comprehensive survey or a freeholder navigating complex enfranchisement, we provide a 360-degree vision of your property assets. Our work is built on a foundation of recommendation-only referrals from solicitors and long-term clients.

High-Tech Surveys That See What Others Miss

We don't just walk through a property; we interrogate it. Our building surveys go far beyond the standard RICS Homebuyer report. We use a suite of high-tech tools to ensure no defect goes unnoticed:

• Thermal Imaging Photography: To identify hidden heat loss and moisture.
• Pole Cameras: For close-up inspections of hard-to-reach roof spaces and chimneys.
• Dew Point Analysis: For scientific accuracy in moisture and condensation detection.
• State-of-the-Art Damp Meters: To provide definitive data on building health.

Every report is followed by a personal phone consultation. We want to make sure you understand every detail before you commit to a purchase or refurbishment.
