Established in 1974, we are an independent group of Chartered Surveyors specialising in the survey, valuation, and repair of Prime Central London property. We combine large-firm standards with the personal touch and flexibility of a dedicated local practice.
Your Partners in Prime Central London Property Since 1974
Based in the heart of Kensington, we have spent half a century advising clients on the purchase, occupation, and maintenance of some of London’s most prestigious real estate. Whether you are a homeowner, a solicitor, or a financial institution, we provide independent advice free from the ties of agencies or financial services.
Our philosophy is simple: We Survey, Value, and Repair. By focusing on these three pillars, we ensure your property interests are protected from the initial acquisition through to long-term maintenance and complex structural repairs.
A Multi-Disciplinary Approach
We believe that complex property issues require a breadth of expertise. Our team is not just a group of surveyors; we are a collaborative practice consisting of a principal and four associates, including:
- Chartered Building Surveyors for technical analysis and defect reporting.
- Registered Valuers for accurate market and insurance appraisals.
- Structural Engineers to assess the integrity of historic and modern frames.
- Quantity Surveyors to provide rigorous cost control and monitoring.
This diverse skill set allows us to handle everything from a standard condition report to the design and implementation of major residential refurbishments.
