Services
Condition Surveys
A condition survey is a detailed assessment of a propertys physical state, identifying existing defects and maintenance risks. It is intended for property owners, investors and prospective buyers requiring clarity on a propertys condition before purchase or occupation. The survey delivers actionable insights to support informed decisions, reduce risk, and plan for required repairs.
Business Rates
Our business rates service provides expert guidance on all rating-related matters for commercial property owners and occupiers. We support clients with rateable value assessments, liability calculations, and appeals against unfair rating demands. This service helps clients minimise unnecessary rates expenditure and ensure full compliance with UK rating regulations.
Valuations
Our valuation service delivers RICS-compliant assessments for a wide range of commercial and residential property purposes. We prepare valuations for security lending, accounts, insurance, investment analysis, and statutory requirements for clients across all sectors. These accurate, independently verified valuations support clients financial planning, legal compliance, and property transaction decision-making.
Sales and Lettings
Our sales and lettings service covers all industrial and commercial property sales and leasing requirements for owners and occupiers. We market properties effectively to match with qualified buyers or tenants, negotiating terms to secure optimal financial returns for our clients. The service supports seamless transactions from initial marketing to completion, reducing administrative burden for property owners.
Dilapidations
Our dilapidations service provides expert advice on repair obligations and settlement negotiations for commercial leaseholders and landlords. We assess the condition of leased properties against lease terms, preparing accurate schedules of dilapidations to support fair negotiations. This service helps clients resolve dilapidations claims efficiently, avoiding costly disputes and ensuring compliance with lease agreements.
