Services
Residential Building Surveys
Our detailed building surveys identify structural defects and maintenance requirements for residential properties. Chartered Surveyors assess construction quality, material condition, and potential repair costs. This service helps property buyers understand long-term investment implications and necessary remedial work.
HomeBuyer Reports
RICS-standard HomeBuyer Reports evaluate property condition using colour-coded ratings. Surveys highlight urgent repairs, market valuation, and rebuilding costs. Ideal for conventional homes, these reports assist buyers in making informed purchasing decisions with clear defect prioritisation.
Schedules of Condition
We prepare detailed schedules documenting property condition for lease agreements. These reports protect tenants and landlords by recording existing defects with photographic evidence. Our assessments help prevent disputes over repair obligations at lease termination.
Dilapidation Reports
Our dilapidation reports assess property condition at lease end. Chartered Surveyors identify required repairs according to lease terms, supported by photographic documentation. These reports help landlords recover repair costs and tenants understand their obligations.
EPC Assessments
We conduct domestic and commercial energy performance certificates to RICS standards. Assessments evaluate energy efficiency, provide improvement recommendations, and meet legal requirements for property sales and rentals across residential and commercial sectors.
