Services
Residential Building Surveys
Our detailed building surveys identify structural defects and maintenance issues in residential properties. Chartered Surveyors assess construction quality, highlight urgent repairs, and provide remedial advice. Ideal for older properties or those requiring significant renovations, these surveys help buyers make informed decisions.
HomeBuyer Reports
RICS-regulated HomeBuyer Reports evaluate property condition using colour-coded ratings. Our surveys identify major defects, valuation assessments, and repair cost estimates. These reports help buyers understand property risks and negotiate fair prices for conventional residential properties.
Schedules of Condition
We prepare detailed schedules documenting property condition before lease commencement. These reports protect tenants by recording existing defects, preventing unfair dilapidation claims at lease end. Includes photographic evidence and condition assessments for all building elements.
Dilapidations Reports
Our dilapidation reports assess property condition at lease end. Landlords use these reports to identify required repairs under lease terms. The reports include photographic documentation and cost estimates for necessary remedial work.
EPC Assessments
We conduct Energy Performance Certificates for residential and commercial properties. Our DEA-qualified surveyors assess energy efficiency, provide improvement recommendations, and issue official EPC documentation required for property transactions.
