Residential Valuation
Our RICS-registered valuers provide accurate residential property assessments for purchases, sales, and financial purposes. We consider local market conditions, property condition, and comparable sales to determine fair market value. Clients benefit from transparent reporting and strategic advice for informed property decisions.
RICS Building Surveys
Comprehensive building condition assessments identify structural issues, maintenance needs, and repair costs. Our detailed reports cover construction methods, material defects, and safety concerns. Ideal for older properties or those requiring major renovations, these surveys help avoid unexpected expenses.
Commercial Property Sales
We facilitate commercial property transactions for retail, industrial, and office spaces. Our services include market analysis, pricing strategy, and negotiation support. Clients receive tailored marketing plans and access to our network of commercial property investors to achieve optimal sale terms.
Development Appraisals
Our experts assess development potential for residential and commercial sites, considering planning permissions and market demand. We provide viability assessments and investment appraisals to guide land acquisitions and project feasibility decisions for developers and landowners.
Landlord and Tenant Advice
We offer specialist guidance on lease renewals, rent reviews, and property disputes. Our services protect landlord and tenant interests through market rent analysis, lease term negotiations, and compliance with the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.

Report
I used Monk and Partners for 2 property surveys as the first purchase fell through. I was incredibly impressed with their service, communication and courteous staff for both surveys (hence the fact I returned). They were so fast at surveying both properties and getting the detailed report back to me within days (especially so during the busy period of post-lockdown). I felt their survey allowed us to make the right decisions on how to move forward. I would highly recommend them!
