Why Homeowners Trust Our Residential Surveys
Buying a home is likely your biggest investment. We offer a range of inspections designed to uncover the truth about a property's condition. From the popular RICS Homebuyer Report to more in-depth Building Surveys, we tailor our recommendations to your specific situation.
We are known for our speed; we aim to provide your report electronically within 3 to 5 working days of the inspection, ensuring you can move forward with your purchase without unnecessary delays.
Specialist Commercial Property Services
Our commercial department offers a comprehensive suite of services for both landlords and tenants. We handle everything from Lease Renewals and Rent Reviews to Schedules of Dilapidations. Our formal valuation reports are undertaken in strict accordance with the RICS Valuation Standards (the 'Red Book'), ensuring your financial and legal interests are protected.
Solving Complex Property Problems
Beyond standard surveys, we are frequently called upon to investigate specific defects or disputes. Our track record includes successfully advising on:
- Structural Issues: Identifying structural movement and vertical cracking in chimney stacks.
- Damp & Decay: Diagnosing dry rot outbreaks, penetrating damp, and condensation issues.
- Timber Defects: Identifying bark beetle infestations and rotten lintels.
- Legal Matters: Providing expert advice on boundary disputes and Party Wall awards.
"A quick turnaround and realistic fees are the cornerstones of our business. We are proud that much of our work comes from the referrals of satisfied, repeat clients."
Whether you require a valuation for probate, advice on a leasehold reform, or a condition schedule for a new commercial unit, we provide a personal service that larger firms simply cannot match. We look forward to helping
