Barry J Cross & Associates

We have been a fixture of the West Midlands property landscape since 1994. Based in Solihull, we’ve spent over three decades helping homeowners, buyers, and businesses navigate the complexities of property ownership with confidence and clarity.

Our approach is simple: we combine deep technical expertise with a focus on customer care. We know that property transactions and disputes can be stressful, so we aim for the fastest, most accurate outcomes to keep your project moving forward.

Three Decades of West Midlands Expertise

Whether you are purchasing a new home in Birmingham or managing a commercial portfolio in Solihull, our experience is your greatest asset. We aren't just surveyors; we are multi-disciplinary professionals regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and certified by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and the Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors.

Specialists in Party Wall & Boundary Matters

One of our core strengths is navigating the legalities of the Party Wall Act. If you are planning an extension or excavation that affects a neighbouring property, we act as an impartial intermediary. We handle everything from serving notices to preparing a formal Schedule of Condition, ensuring you remain compliant while protecting your relationship with your neighbours.

Expert Witness & Dispute Resolution

When building disputes arise—be it over a loft conversion, a subsidence issue, or a boundary line—you need representation that carries weight in legal proceedings. We provide robust Expert Witness reports for property law cases. Our wealth of knowledge means we can identify defects, analyze construction failures, and provide the professional testimony required to resolve disputes effectively.

"Our aim has always been to provide first-class surveying and valuation that people can rely on. We don't just find problems; we provide the solutions and the estimated costs to fix them."

Beyond the Standard Survey

While we provide industry-leading HomeBuyer Reports (which include a valuation as standard) and Full Building Surveys, we also offer niche specialisms that set us apart. We are experts in fenestration, providing specialist reports on windows, doors, and conservatories—an area often overlooked by general practice surveyors.
