Services
Residential Building Surveys
We conduct Level 2 and 3 surveys assessing residential property construction, condition, and value. Our reports identify structural issues, maintenance requirements, and market valuation. Clients receive detailed technical analysis with photographic evidence and repair cost estimates.
Specific Defect Investigations
Targeted investigations into specific property issues like subsidence, damp, or structural movement. We provide root cause analysis, repair recommendations, and cost projections. This service helps resolve mortgage valuation disputes and pre-purchase concerns.
Schedule of Condition
Document property condition with photographic and technical records. This service protects tenants from liability for pre-existing damage and documents properties before adjacent construction work begins.
Help to Buy Valuations
RICS-compliant valuations for Help to Buy scheme participants. We ensure accurate property assessments meeting Homes & Communities Agency requirements. Our 100% approval rate demonstrates adherence to strict valuation criteria.
Inheritance Tax Valuations
Market value assessments for inheritance tax purposes. Our RICS-registered valuers determine fair market value using open market transaction principles. Reports meet HMRC requirements for estate tax calculations.
