Services
Building Surveys
Comprehensive property assessments identifying structural issues and maintenance needs. Our RICS-accredited surveyors examine construction materials, detect hidden defects, and provide remedial action recommendations. Ideal for pre-purchase decisions or property management, these surveys help avoid unexpected repair costs while ensuring compliance with building regulations.
Architectural Design
Tailored architectural services covering new builds, renovations, and commercial developments. Our team manages projects from concept to completion, including planning applications and building regulation compliance. We specialise in heritage property adaptations and modern energy-efficient designs, balancing aesthetic appeal with functional requirements.
Dilapidations Reports
Detailed SCOTT-format reports assessing leasehold property conditions. We identify required repairs, calculate reinstatement costs, and negotiate claims for both landlords and tenants. Our expertise in Dilapidations Protocol ensures fair assessments while minimising disputes during lease terminations.
Property Valuations
Accurate property valuations using local market data and recent comparable sales. Conducted by RICS-registered valuers, these assessments consider property features, location advantages, and market trends. Services include mortgage valuations, tax assessments, and insurance reinstatement cost calculations.
Party Wall Services
Specialist advice on party wall matters including dispute resolution and legal compliance. We prepare schedules of condition, issue awards, and mediate between adjoining owners. Our services ensure adherence to the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 while protecting clients' interests during construction projects.

Do I need a survey when buying a property?
While not mandatory, we strongly recommend surveys to identify hidden defects, negotiate prices, or reconsider purchases based on structural issues found during inspections by our RICS-accredited surveyors.

Our RICS-registered valuers combine local market knowledge with recent sales data, adjusting for property-specific features like amenities and location advantages to determine accurate market values.

We operate from Thame across Oxfordshire and surrounding counties, with UK-wide capabilities for corporate clients requiring multi-location surveying and architectural services.
