About Ken Batty - Chartered Surveyors

Expertise Across the North West and Business Rate Savings Nationwide

At Ken Batty Chartered Surveyors, we believe in "Integrity in Practice." For over 30 years, we have operated as a private practice dedicated to providing a first-class professional service on a highly personal basis. While we are firmly rooted in Preston, our reach is dual-layered: we provide comprehensive surveying services within a 30-mile radius of our North West offices and offer specialist Business Rate advice to clients across the entire UK mainland.

We combine traditional, time-honoured surveying skills with the latest computerised systems to ensure our clients receive accurate, timely, and actionable advice. Whether you are a first-time buyer or a commercial developer, you deal with us on a one-to-one basis.

Specialists in Reducing Your Business Rates

We are results-driven specialists in business rate reductions. We understand that rates can be one of the most significant overheads for any company, which is why we offer expert advice on business rate relief and mitigation.

Our team is highly qualified, holding memberships with the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) and the IRRV (Institute of Revenues Rating and Valuation). We don't just provide reports; we fight for the best possible results for our clients, ensuring you aren't paying a penny more than necessary.

Helping Preston Homeowners Since 1993

Buying a home is one of the most significant investments you will ever make. We have been helping families and individuals in the Preston area navigate this process for decades. Our residential team, including Jonathan Bennett (AssocRICS and RICS Registered Valuer), is known for leaving no stone unturned.

"Everything from start to finish was very professional. There has been no stone left unturned in regards to the survey and the report is very well detailed documenting everything from the smallest thing."
