Building Surveys
Our building surveys provide a thorough assessment of property condition, covering structural integrity, roof, windows, and fixtures. Ideal for buyers of older or unique properties, these surveys highlight defects and maintenance needs. Conducted by RICS-certified surveyors, they ensure informed decisions for residential and commercial clients.
Valuations
We offer RICS Red Book-compliant valuations for residential and commercial properties, including probate, inheritance tax, and loan security purposes. Our surveyors assess market value, rebuild costs, and investment potential, ensuring accurate and legally compliant reports tailored to client requirements across the South East.
Leasehold Enfranchisement
Our specialists guide leaseholders through extending leases or purchasing freeholds, calculating fair market values and negotiating terms. We handle statutory compliance, shared ownership complexities, and service charge disputes, ensuring clients protect their property investments in accordance with legal frameworks.
Listed Building Surveys
We conduct detailed inspections of listed and period buildings, addressing compliance with heritage regulations and identifying conservation needs. Our surveyors assess structural defects, historical significance, and repair requirements, providing actionable recommendations for owners of Grade I/II listed properties and unique structures.
