The Leading Choice for Home Reports and Valuations

In Scotland, the Home Report is a legal cornerstone of property sales. We are the primary provider in the islands, delivering the mandatory Single Survey, Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), and Mortgage Valuation Reports with speed and accuracy.

Our deep roots in the local market mean our valuations are trusted by solicitors, lenders, and homeowners alike. We provide RICS Red Book standard valuations for a variety of purposes, including:

  • Pre-sale and investment assessments
  • Taxation and matrimonial/separation settlements
  • Shared ownership and rental valuations

Precision Cost Management for Your Construction Projects

Beyond residential sales, we are Chartered Quantity Surveyors. We provide effective cost management on building projects of all sizes, from initial inception to final completion. We work with private clients, main contractors, and sub-contractors to ensure financial transparency and contractual security.

"We adhere to globally recognised ethical and professional standards, ensuring our clients receive independent, objective, and expert advice at every stage of their property journey."

From Historic Buildings to Modern Self-Builds

Our expertise spans a diverse range of sectors, allowing us to support the growth and preservation of Shetland’s built environment. We specialise in:

  • Historic & Industrial: Navigating the complexities of heritage buildings and large-scale industrial sites.
  • Social & Private Housing: Supporting local authorities and private developers in delivering essential housing stock.
  • Self-Build & Custom Projects: Helping individuals realise their dream homes through expert cost planning and Employer’s Agent services.
  • Commercial & Retail: Providing valuation and consultancy for offices, shops, and commercial developments.

As a member firm of First Surveyors Scotland, we combine our intimate local knowledge with a national network of property consultancy expertise, giving our clients the best of both worlds.
