Specialists in Equestrian and Rural Property
What truly sets us apart is our 30 years of involvement in the equestrian industry. Our in-depth knowledge of bloodstock and the unique requirements of racing and breeding facilities allows us to offer advice that standard surveyors simply cannot.
We assist clients with:
- Sales and Purchases: Navigating the complexities of equestrian transactions.
- Planning and Management: Expert guidance on developing and running rural facilities.
- Rural Grants: Helping landowners access essential funding and support.
Comprehensive Surveys and Red Book Valuations
We offer a range of RICS-compliant services tailored to the specific age and condition of your property:
- RICS HomeBuyer Reports: Ideal for modern or standard older buildings in reasonable condition. This report highlights potential investments needed after purchase.
- RICS Building Surveys: A deep-dive analysis for older, larger, or non-traditional properties (such as timber-framed buildings). We spend up to a full day on-site to provide a comprehensive breakdown of the property's fabric.
- RICS Property Valuations: All our valuation work is compliant with the RICS "Red Book" standards, ensuring the highest level of professional integrity for probate, matrimonial, or private sale purposes.
"From the first contact to the final issue of our valuation report, the service was professional, helpful, and thorough. We would have no hesitation in recommending our team for any surveying needs."
