Building Surveys
Our comprehensive building surveys assess property condition, identifying structural issues and repair requirements. We provide detailed reports for commercial, industrial, and residential properties, highlighting major defects and maintenance needs. Our RICS-registered surveyors deliver actionable insights to support informed property decisions.
Party Wall Advice
Specialist guidance on Party Wall Act 1996 compliance, including boundary disputes and adjacent construction projects. We act as building owners' or adjoining owners' surveyors, preparing award documentation and resolving conflicts. Our expertise ensures legal compliance while protecting property interests.
Schedules of Condition
Detailed condition assessments documenting property status for lease agreements or pre-construction baselines. These reports limit liability for landlords and tenants by recording existing defects. Our surveys meet legal requirements for commercial and residential properties.
Dilapidation Reports
Preparation and negotiation of dilapidation claims for landlords and tenants. We assess property condition against lease obligations, quantifying repair costs and negotiating settlements. Our reports help resolve disputes over property maintenance responsibilities.
