Services
Residential Building Surveys
Our comprehensive building surveys identify structural defects and maintenance issues in older or altered properties. Using detailed inspections, we produce photographic reports with repair recommendations. Clients receive clear explanations of hidden flaws and construction methods, supported by 40-50 images covering all property elements from foundations to roof. This service suits pre-purchase assessments and renovation planning.
Private Valuations
RICS Red Book-compliant valuations for probate, tax planning, and shared equity transactions. Conducted by registered valuers, these reports provide accurate market values based on limited inspections and standard assumptions. Valuations support legal and financial processes including inheritance tax calculations, charity asset management, and pension fund acquisitions.
Homebuyer Reports
Tailored for post-1850s properties in reasonable condition, these reports highlight significant defects affecting property value. Combining visual inspections with photographic evidence, we assess structural integrity and maintenance needs. Reports include defect explanations and repair guidance, helping buyers negotiate prices or request remedial work before completion.
