Services
Residential Surveys
Our residential surveys provide comprehensive property condition assessments for home buyers. Using RICS-approved methodologies, we identify structural issues, maintenance requirements, and potential repair costs. Our detailed reports help clients make informed purchasing decisions while highlighting any hidden defects that may affect property value.
Schedule of Dilapidations
We prepare detailed dilapidations schedules to define tenant repair obligations at lease commencement. Our photographic schedules with interactive PDF documentation help limit future liability claims. Specialist software ensures accurate, cost-effective reports that protect both landlords and tenants during commercial lease agreements.
Party Wall Advice
Our RICS-registered party wall surveyors provide expert guidance on building work affecting shared boundaries. We prepare schedules of condition, resolve disputes, and ensure compliance with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Our relationship-focused approach minimises costs while protecting all parties' interests.
Commercial Building Surveys
We conduct thorough commercial property surveys for investors and occupiers. Our assessments cover structural integrity, compliance requirements, and lifecycle maintenance planning. Clients benefit from tailored recommendations that support informed decision-making for office, retail, industrial, and educational properties.
Expert Witness Services
Our RICS-registered expert witnesses provide professional evidence for construction disputes. We prepare detailed reports on building defects, valuation matters, and contractual disagreements. Our impartial assessments support legal proceedings while maintaining strict adherence to professional standards and court requirements.
