Services
Property Surveys
Our RICS-certified surveys assess property condition, identifying structural defects and maintenance needs. We provide detailed reports for residential and commercial properties, including Homebuyer Reports and Drone Roof Surveys. Clients receive actionable recommendations to mitigate risks and ensure compliance with legal standards.
Valuations
We deliver Red Book-compliant valuations for probate, tax, insurance, and lease extensions. Our reports consider market trends, property condition, and legal factors to ensure accuracy. Services include matrimonial settlements, shared ownership staircasing, and reinstatement cost assessments for insurance purposes.
Party Wall Services
We assist with Party Wall Act 1996 compliance, preparing notices, schedules of condition, and awards. Our surveyors facilitate agreements between property owners and neighbours, preventing disputes during extensions, loft conversions, or structural alterations. Services cover London, Surrey, and surrounding areas.
Schedule of Condition
These documents record property condition before leases or construction work. They serve as legal benchmarks for dilapidation claims or party wall disputes. We use photographic evidence and detailed descriptions to protect landlords and tenants from future liability.
Schedule of Dilapidation
We prepare reports to assess lease compliance, identifying repair obligations before tenancy ends. These documents help landlords recover costs for disrepair or breach of covenant. Reports are tailored to lease terms and property type, ensuring enforceability.
