Allcott Commercial
Manchester
82 King Street, Manchester, M2 4WQ, Manchester
With over 23 years of experience, Allcott Commercial combines RICS surveying with IStructE structural engineering. From dilapidations to heritage conservation, our nationwide team provides the independent, expert oversight your commercial property investment deserves.
Two Decades of Independent Building Consultancy
For over 23 years, we have been the trusted partners for property investors, occupiers, and developers across England and Wales. We aren't just another consultancy; we are a nationwide team of RICS Commercial Surveyors and IStructE Chartered Structural Engineers dedicated to providing an exceptional, independent service that protects your assets.
Whether you are acquiring a new retail outlet, managing a portfolio of industrial units, or navigating a complex lease exit, we provide the technical clarity you need to make informed decisions.
A Unique Blend of Surveying and Structural Engineering
What truly sets us apart is our integrated approach. While many firms offer one or the other, we house both RICS surveyors and Chartered Structural Engineers under one roof. This means when we look at a property, we aren't just seeing the surface; we understand the structural integrity of the building.
- Expertise You Can Trust: Our team includes Fellows of the RICS (FRICS) and members of the Institution of Civil Engineers (MICE).
- Nationwide Reach: With offices strategically placed across England and Wales, we offer local knowledge with national resources.
- Sector Specialists: From educational trusts and global retail brands to historic listed buildings, we have the specific experience your project requires.
Protecting Your Interests in Dilapidations and Leases
We specialise in both the enforcement and defence of commercial dilapidations claims. Our partners, including Matthew Baker and Jon Fitzpatrick-Powell, bring decades of experience in contract administration and schedules of condition. We work to ensure the dilapidations process is smooth and straightforward, minimising budget variations and protecting your bottom line.
"Our mission is to provide a service unrivalled by similar building consultancies, combining technical rigour with a commercial mindset."
