Services
RICS Residential Surveys
We conduct RICS-approved residential surveys at three levels to assess property condition. Our surveys identify defects, provide maintenance advice, and suit different property types from standard homes to historic buildings. The service helps buyers understand property risks before purchase.
Building Surveys
Our Level 3 building surveys provide comprehensive analysis of property construction and defects. Specialised for older properties or those in poor repair, these detailed reports include remedial work recommendations and structural evaluations to inform major investment decisions.
Mortgage Valuations
We provide RICS-compliant mortgage valuations accepted by all UK lenders. Our valuations assess market value for loan approval purposes, considering property condition, location and local market trends to support smooth mortgage applications.
Insurance Valuations
Our insurance valuations determine accurate rebuild costs for property insurance purposes. The assessment ensures adequate coverage in case of damage, covering construction specifics and material values to prevent under-insurance.
Probate Valuations
We conduct HMRC-compliant probate valuations for estate administration. Our valuations assess market value at probate dates, supporting accurate estate settlement and tax calculations during difficult personal circumstances.
