Specialists in Period Properties and Stucco-Fronted Homes
Our Director, Harry True (BSc, MRICS, FBEng), brings decades of experience to the table. Having served in local government and major London practices before founding True Associates, Harry has developed a niche expertise in the Georgian and early Victorian stucco-fronted terraced houses common in Westminster, Kensington, and Chelsea.
If you are buying a property over 50 years old, our Building Surveys are designed for you. We go beyond the surface, checking under floorboards and carpets (with consent) to identify signs of settlement, dampness, or timber decay that others might miss.
A Multi-Disciplinary Team at Your Service
We believe in a collaborative approach. Our surveyors work alongside our architectural and administrative teams to ensure a seamless experience:
- Peter Monk (Senior Building Surveyor): With a background in major projects for the National Exhibition Centre and Pirelli Tyres, Peter brings vast experience in internal and external redecoration and repair projects.
- Manell Taki (Office Manager): With a Law degree (LLB), Manell ensures our daily operations and admin teams run with the precision required for complex legal and surveying matters.
- Alan Bear: Our Planning Consultant and Architectural Technician, who helps bridge the gap between survey findings and practical design solutions.
From Defect Diagnosis to Project Management
We don't just tell you what's wrong; we help you fix it. If your property is suffering from cracking, structural movement, or dampness, our Specific Defects Reports provide a focused investigation.
For those planning alterations, we act as expert Party Wall Surveyors and can manage the Licence to Alter process for leaseholders. From the initial concept through to completion, our project management team ensure
