Three Decades of Trusted Advice in the North East
Buying a home is likely the biggest investment you will ever make. We believe you deserve more than a generic checklist. Since 1993, we have provided homeowners across the North East with the clarity and confidence they need to move forward with their purchase.
What sets us apart is our commitment to personal service. While many national firms delegate inspections to junior surveyors, we don't. Every single property we visit is inspected and reported on by Malcolm Rand FRICS, a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors with over 30 years of regional experience.

Why Homeowners Choose Our Independent Expertise
We work for you, not the bank or the estate agent. Our reports are designed to be clear, impartial, and actionable. Whether you are buying a modern apartment or a period property, we help you:
- Identify urgent defects before they become your financial burden.
- Negotiate with confidence based on an accurate understanding of the property's condition.
- Understand future maintenance requirements to protect your investment.
Tailored Surveys for Every Property Type
We specialise in two primary RICS report formats, ensuring we can support you regardless of the property's age or condition:
- The RICS HomeBuyer Report Perfect for conventional houses, flats, or bungalows built after 1900. This includes a market valuation and a "traffic light" rating system for defects, helping you understand what needs immediate attention.
- The RICS Building Survey Our most comprehensive service. We recommend this for older properties (pre-1900), run-down buildings, or homes where you plan to undertake major renovations. It provides a deep dive into the fabric and structure of the building.
"Our mission is to provide the expert, independent advice you need to limit your risks and avoid the thousands of pounds in repair bills that hidden defects can cause."
A Career Dedicated to the Region
Malcolm Rand qualified in 1987 and has spent his entire career in the North East. Having worked in private practice for large local firms and as a Staff Surveyor for a national bank, he founded this business to return to what matters: providing high-quality, independent surveys directly to the public.
When you hire us, you are hiring decades of local knowledge and a professional who has seen every type of property the North East has to offer. We are RICS Registered Valuers, meaning our valuation advice is backed by the highest industry standards.
