Reading
London Street, Reading, RG1 4SJ, Reading
We are a boutique London consultancy of RICS-accredited directors. From high-tech building surveys using thermal imaging to expert lease enfranchisement and party wall advice, we provide clear, jargon-free guidance backed by over 10 years of cross-sector experience.
We are a boutique property consultancy based in London, built on the principle that property advice should be clear, technical, and tailored to the individual. Whether you are a first-time buyer navigating a complex leasehold or a commercial investor managing a diverse portfolio, we provide the 360-degree vision you need to move forward with confidence.
Our reputation has been built through recommendation-only work from solicitors and client referrals. We don't just tick boxes; we provide a detailed, forensic look at every property we inspect.
High-Tech Surveys for Total Peace of Mind
We believe that a building survey should leave no stone unturned. That is why we go far beyond the typical RICS homebuyer report structure. Our team utilizes a suite of high-tech applications to identify undetected defects that others might miss:
- Thermal Imaging Photography: To detect heat loss and hidden moisture.
- Pole Cameras: For close-up inspections of hard-to-reach roof spaces and chimneys.
- Dew Point Analysis & State-of-the-Art Damp Meters: For scientific accuracy in moisture detection.
Every report we produce is fully dictated and accompanied by photographic schedules. Most importantly, we arrange a personal phone consultation with you after you receive your report to discuss our findings and answer your questions in plain English.
Led by Industry Experts
Our firm is directed by a team of RICS-accredited professionals, each bringing a decade of experience from major international firms like Savills, JLL, and Cushman & Wakefield.
