Irving Associates (Surveyors) Ltd

We believe that the best property advice comes from a blend of high-level professional accreditation and deep-rooted local experience. At Irving Associates, we don’t just provide reports; we provide the peace of mind you need when making one of life’s biggest investments.

Led by Robert Irving: 45 Years of Professional Integrity

Our practice is built on the extensive experience of our founder, Robert Irving (C Build E. FRICS FCABE FISVA). Robert qualified as a building surveyor in 1976 and established this independent firm in 1991 following senior roles in both the private and public sectors.

Unlike larger corporate firms, we offer a level of personal attention and local insight that only decades in the field can produce. When you hire us, you are benefiting from a depth of knowledge that covers everything from historic Cheshire cottages to modern commercial developments in Leeds and Sheffield.

Protecting Your Residential Investment

Whether you are buying a Victorian terrace or a modern family home, we help you avoid the 'hidden' costs of property ownership. Research shows that buyers without a survey face an average of over £1,800 in unplanned repairs. We specialise in:

• Older and Extended Properties: Where structural alterations require a keen, expert eye.
• Level 2 & Level 3 Reports: Tailored advice based on the age and condition of the building.
• Impartial Valuations: Conducted by RICS Registered Valuers to ensure the highest professional standards.

Specialist Commercial and Legal Support

Our expertise extends far beyond residential sales. We are a trusted partner for commercial clients and legal professionals across the UK.

"We provide factual, impartial expert witness reports in accordance with Civil Procedure Rules, ensuring clarity when building works fail to meet expectations."

We also manage the complexities of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, resolving disputes quickly so your project can stay on track. For commercial tenants and landlords, our Schedules of Condition and Dilapidations are essential tools for protecting your financial interests during lease negotiations or expirations.

From Blueprint to Completion

We are unique in offering dedicated Architectural Services alongside our surveying expertise. Our building surveyors are professionally trained to manage smaller projects from feasibility to final completion. By acting as your building advisor, we provide a coordinated, all-inclusive service that ensures your vision is delivered without the stress of managing multiple consultants.
