Our RICS-registered valuers provide accurate residential and commercial property valuations for tax, legal, and investment purposes. We specialise in development site appraisals, depreciated replacement cost assessments for specialist properties, and single joint expert reports for court proceedings. With extensive local market knowledge, we deliver valuations that reflect current and historic property values across Essex and London.

With over 40 years' local experience, we ensure compliance with legal requirements while protecting property interests during construction or renovation projects involving shared walls.

We conduct detailed commercial property surveys for purchasers, landlords, and tenants. Our services include schedules of condition, defect diagnosis, and dilapidations assessments. We advise on repair responsibilities and provide technical reports to support informed property decisions, ensuring clients understand building conditions before lease agreements or property transactions.

Report
Quite possibly the rudest and un helpful customer service Ive dealt with their ceo should be ashamed , the lady whom I spoke with had one of the most unprofessional phone manners to date . Will not be doing business with them in anyway purely as a result of this ! perhaps the commission of three commercial lease hold premises is not something they are currently needing. Poor business skills is all I can say .

I was out of my mind with stress due to a dispute and rung many however I was lucky enough to speak to a lady called Sue at Mass and Co. She went though everything with me and eased my mind straight away. The transition from there has been second to none. Highly recommend. Thank you

We used Mass & Co recently when we leased a new office. A very friendly & professional team, who made the transition run very smoothly.
