Building Surveys
Our comprehensive building surveys assess structural integrity, identify defects, and evaluate property condition. Designed for older or non-standard properties, these surveys provide detailed repair recommendations and cost estimates. Clients receive actionable insights to inform purchasing decisions or renovation plans.
RICS HomeBuyer Reports
RICS-standard homebuyer reports combine property inspections with valuations for traditional residential properties. The reports highlight critical issues using condition ratings, assess market value, and identify urgent defects. Ideal for standard properties in reasonable condition.
Valuations
We provide accurate property valuations for shared ownership, probate, and matrimonial cases. Our RICS-registered valuers assess market value and reinstatement costs, ensuring clients receive reliable figures for legal and financial purposes.
Party Wall Act Compliance
Our specialists handle Party Wall Act 1996 compliance for building works near boundaries. Services include notice preparation, schedules of condition, and dispute resolution. We represent both building owners and adjoining owners throughout the process.
