91 Princess Street, Manchester, M1 4HT, Manchester
At BRICS Surveyors, we combine RICS expertise with specialist PCA-qualified damp and timber diagnostics. We provide impartial, 'Red Book' compliant advice across the North West to ensure your property purchase is transparent, secure, and free from hidden costs.
Protecting Your Most Valuable Asset
Buying a home is a monumental step. At BRICS Surveyors, we ensure you move forward with total confidence. Our team brings decades of experience to every inspection, covering everything from traditional Victorian terraces to modern system-built properties.
We aren't just here to tick boxes; we are here to uncover the hidden story of a building. Many of our clients are moving to the North West for the first time and rely on our deep local knowledge to navigate their purchase safely.
Specialist Damp & Timber Diagnostics
One of our core strengths is our specialist focus on damp and timber defects. Unlike many firms, our surveyors are CSRT qualified (Certified Surveyors in Remedial Treatment) through the Property Care Association.
The BRICS Difference: We are independent surveyors, not contractors. We have no interest in "job building" or recommending unnecessary work. Our reports are impartial, honest, and designed to save you money by identifying the true cause of an issue.
Whether you need a brief summary of findings or a comprehensive formal report for a lender, we provide the clarity you need to negotiate or plan remedial treatments. We are even happy to provide guidance costs for repairs upon request.
RICS Red Book Valuations You Can Trust
As VRS registered valuers, we provide professional "Red Book" valuations that comply with the strictest RICS guidance. We support clients through various life stages and requirements, including:
- Help to Buy & Shared Ownership: Accurate valuations for staircasing or loan redemption.
- Probate & Inheritance Tax: Sensitive and professional assessments for estate planning.
- Matrimonial & Divorce: Impartial valuations for legal settlements.
- Sale & Purchase: Ensuring you pay a fair price for your new home.
