Building Surveys

Comprehensive building surveys for older or listed properties, offering detailed analysis of structural integrity and potential defects. Our RICS-compliant inspections identify necessary repairs and maintenance requirements, ensuring clients receive accurate assessments before property transactions. Expert surveyors provide clear, actionable recommendations tailored to individual property needs.

Homebuyer Reports

RICS Standard Homebuyer Reports provide mid-level property assessments for houses and flats. Our reports highlight significant defects, valuation estimates, and potential repair costs. Designed for modern properties in good condition, these reports help buyers make informed decisions while maintaining strict professional standards throughout the assessment process.

Residential Valuations

Accurate residential property valuations for purchase, sale, or financial purposes. Utilising extensive local market knowledge, our chartered surveyors determine fair market values through thorough analysis of comparable sales and property condition. Valuations meet RICS standards for legal and financial documentation requirements across London's property market.

Schedules of Condition

Detailed schedules recording property condition prior to tenancy or renovation. Our reports document existing defects and wear patterns to prevent future disputes. Created to RICS standards, these documents provide clear photographic and written records, ensuring accurate condition assessments for landlords and tenants.

Defect Diagnosis

Specialist defect diagnosis for isolated property issues including damp, subsidence, or structural cracks. Our surveyors identify root causes and provide remediation advice. Reports include technical analysis and prioritised repair recommendations, combining practical solutions with professional expertise to resolve specific property concerns effectively.

Kirkham is incompetent and arrogant . He performed a survey on my building when I was in the process of selling it and categorically stated that it had subsidence . This was proved completely incorrect by a subsequent structural engineers report that concluded It was in fact thermal movement . Why he stated subsidence as a fact , when he clearly had no idea is beyond me , but it caused me additional expense and a large amount of stress as the sale of my property nearly fell through, because of this . When I tried to discuss this matter with him he refused to communicate with me , but just continually

Would not recommend. Aleks carried out a building survey on a flat I was purchasing but failed to spot a progressive leak coming from the flat above. Aleks denies that the leak was there when he carried out the survey and is not taking any responsibility. Sadly, the leak was there all along and it resulted in the bathroom ceiling becoming unstable. Don't waste your money

Aleks is absolutely amazing and helped greatly in my purchase process. His report is highly professional, detailed and impeccably done; he generously went through many issues in the property and helped me understand the situations; he assisted in some planning related matter and managed to help me bargain down the price. Most of all, his knowledge and professionalism is so reassuring in this stressful process. I really appreciated his help and highly recommend his work.

Aleks was by far the most competent surveyor I've ever had. He is incredibly thorough and I couldn't recommend him highly enough!

Would 100% recommend Aleks to anyone and will be coming back if looking to buy again in the future. He has completed 2 surveys for us and has been a key part of our buying process. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout. Always willing to give advice/ support and answer any other general questions I had too. Being a first time buyer this was invaluable. We were really lucky to have him.
