Services
Commercial Property Valuations
We provide RICS-accredited commercial property valuations for lending purposes, employing advanced web-based market data tools and experienced surveyors. Our valuations consider current market conditions, lease terms, and property characteristics to deliver accurate assessments for shops, offices, and industrial premises. With decades of expertise, we ensure timely reporting that meets lender requirements while maintaining valuation integrity.
Compulsory Purchase Advice
Our specialists advise property owners affected by Compulsory Purchase Orders, ensuring fair compensation for land acquisition. We assess market value, disturbance costs, and additional claims while negotiating with acquiring authorities. With expertise in HS2 and infrastructure projects, we handle complex compensation claims for businesses and residential property owners affected by public development schemes.
Leasehold Enfranchisement
We provide valuation advice for leasehold extensions and collective enfranchisement, serving housing associations and private tenants. Our ALEP-accredited surveyors calculate premiums, negotiate terms, and address financing challenges for properties with reducing lease terms. We specialise in residential lease valuation matters across England and Wales.
LPA Receiverships
As NARA-registered LPA Receivers, we manage residential and commercial property receiverships with a focus on maximising returns. Our multi-disciplinary approach combines valuation expertise with property management capabilities to avoid distressed sales. We handle all aspects including tenant negotiations, development planning, and asset marketing.
Expert Witness Valuations
We provide expert valuation testimony in property-related disputes, including diminution in value assessments and retrospective valuations. Our RICS-registered experts prepare court-admissible reports for solicitors and lenders, addressing issues like negligent surveys, boundary disputes, and property defects in both residential and commercial contexts.
