RICS RegulatedResidential

Led by the 2023 Valuer of the Year, we bring over 20 years of specialist expertise to leasehold reform. Whether you are a flat owner extending a lease or a freeholder in negotiations, we provide the RICS-regulated precision and tribunal experience needed to protect your interests.

About Alison Stone Surveyors

We understand that extending a lease or buying a freehold can feel like navigating a legal minefield. At Alison Stone Surveyors, we turn that complexity into a clear, manageable path forward.

Our practice is built on the belief that property owners deserve more than just a report; they deserve a strategic partner. We specialise exclusively in leasehold reform, meaning our knowledge isn't spread thin across general surveying—it is laser-focused on the nuances of the Leasehold Reform Acts.

Led by the 2023 'Valuer of the Year'

Our team is headed by Alison Stone BSc (Hons), MRICS, a Registered Valuer with over 20 years of dedicated experience. In 2023, Alison was named Valuer of the Year at the Enfranchisement and Right to Manage Awards, following a Highly Commended recognition in 2021.

When you instruct us, you aren't just hiring a surveyor; you are hiring an industry-recognised expert who has successfully negotiated against many of the UK's largest freeholders.

A Balanced Perspective for Better Results

We advise both lessees (tenants) and freeholders (landlords). This dual perspective is one of our greatest strengths. By understanding the motivations and tactics of both sides, we can anticipate hurdles before they arise and provide a balanced, realistic view of the process.

"Our mission is to work with our clients' needs at the forefront, delivering ethical, honest, and client-focused work that surpasses industry standards."

Why Homeowners and Investors Trust Us

Leasehold valuation is an ever-changing field. We provide the technical expertise required for both formal notices and informal agreements.

  • Expert Negotiations: We don't just provide a valuation; we fight for the best possible premium for your individual situation.
  • Tribunal Experience: If negotiations stall, we provide expert witness representation at the First Tier Tribunal (Property Division).
  • Lease Health Checks: We offer a free, no-obligation check to ensure your lease length and ground rent are reasonable before you commit to a purchase.
  • Specialist Knowledge: From leasehold houses to complex head lease valuations, we cover the full spectrum of reform work.
