Our Expertise
Our managing director and founder, Johanne Coupe FRICS, is a chartered surveyor and registered valuer with over 30 years of experience of preparing complex property valuations. She is a First Tier Tribunal and a Residential Property Tribunal appointed valuer. As members of ALEP and regulated by the RICS, you can be assured of our professional and expert service. Valuers of Joh's calibre are like gold dust in the South West; you can keep digging or just be content in the knowledge you have struck rich first time.
Jason Richardson, Solicitor, Davies & Partners: "Many thanks for guiding me through this process and in particular for your professionalism in these unprecedented times."
Helen Becker, Bournemouth: "Jo is a delight to work with, fast, efficient and extremely knowledgeable about all things to do with the process of lease extensions and freehold enfranchisement."
Our Services
We provide expert advice on all areas of leasehold enfranchisement across the South West, London, and occasionally beyond. We advise you through every step of a complex process from providing a comprehensive and clear valuation report, negotiating the premium on your behalf, and liaising with your solicitor through to completion. If necessary, although very rare, we represent you as an expert witness at a First Tier Tribunal hearing where the premium will be determined by a specialist panel.
Our expertise will save you time, money, and hassle! Whether you're looking to extend the lease of your home, acquire the freehold of your block of flats, or need an Inheritance tax (probate) or Capital Gains Tax Valuation, we're here to help.
