Residential Surveys
Our RICS-certified surveyors conduct thorough property inspections to identify structural issues and maintenance requirements. We offer tailored survey options including Full Building Surveys for older properties and Gateway Buyer Reports for standard assessments. All reports are written in plain English with clear recommendations to support informed purchasing decisions.
Property Valuations
Professional property valuations combine local market knowledge with comprehensive data analysis. We provide accurate assessments for mortgage purposes, probate, and capital gains tax. Our valuers use geolocation mapping linked to Land Registry records to ensure precise property identification and valuation accuracy across all residential property types.
Panel Management
Our panel management service coordinates over 1,500 qualified valuers nationwide. We ensure consistent quality through ISO 9001-certified processes and real-time performance monitoring. This service provides lenders with reliable valuation reports that comply with current lending policies and regulatory requirements while maintaining fast turnaround times.
Zero Contact Valuations
Three types of contactless valuations utilise technology-enhanced methodologies. Enhanced Remote Valuations use questionnaires and imagery, Virtual Enhanced Valuations include video inspections, and Enhanced External Valuations combine external surveys with internal data. These solutions maintain accuracy while eliminating physical visits, suitable for most standard residential properties.
Help to Buy
Specialist support for government-backed property purchase schemes. Our surveyors understand the specific requirements for Help to Buy assessments, providing compliant reports that meet scheme criteria. We offer guidance through the process and ensure all necessary documentation meets lender and government standards for successful transactions.

Report
Gateway were used to survey our home by our buyers. The surveyor turned up on time and was very personable. We have decided to use him for the house we are buying due to how good he was at our house.

Absolutely horrendous service! Never use this surveyor. They missed appointments and worst of all made mistakes on the valuation. AVOID at all cost! This firm is a complete joke!
