Services
Building Surveys
Detailed inspections of residential and commercial properties to assess structural condition and maintenance needs. Our surveys cover all construction types, from historic buildings to modern developments, identifying defects and repair requirements. Clients receive comprehensive reports with practical recommendations for property transactions or long-term management.
Residential Valuations
RICS-compliant valuations for residential properties to support transactions, tax planning, or legal matters. We assess market value considering location, condition, and unique features. Our reports meet Red Book standards for purposes including mortgages, probate, and capital gains tax.
Commercial Surveys
Specialist surveys for commercial properties including offices, retail units, and industrial buildings. We evaluate structural integrity, lease compliance, and dilapidations liabilities. Our advice supports tenant negotiations, investment decisions, and property management strategies.
Reinstatement Cost Assessments
Accurate rebuild cost calculations for residential and commercial properties to ensure adequate insurance coverage. We consider construction materials, architectural features, and current market rates to determine reinstatement costs.
Specific Defect Surveys
Targeted investigations into specific building defects such as subsidence, damp, or structural cracks. We diagnose causes, recommend remedial actions, and provide written reports to resolve issues affecting property value or safety.
