Our Services
Below is an overview of our professional services. We constantly update this page, but if you still can’t find what you’re looking for, please feel free to get in touch with us – we will be more than happy to help.
RICS Home Surveys
The RICS L2 Survey (previously the standard ‘Homebuyer Survey’) is suitable for most conventionally built houses and flats and will provide you with information about the condition of the property and check for structural defects, helping you make an informed decision before you buy.
Valuation
We undertake valuation work for a variety of purposes, most commonly: pre-purchase valuations, matrimonial, probate and taxation valuations, as well as Help-to-Buy and Shared Ownership valuations. We also provide property reinstatement costs for building insurance purposes, and current market rental valuations for landlords.
Specific Defect Surveys
Sometimes you may find a problem or issue you are concerned about within your home. You could ask a builder for an opinion, but you may prefer to obtain an independent report from a building surveyor in which case the Specific Defect Report may well suit your requirements.
Drone Surveys & Aerial Photography
Our Drone Surveys are either as an integral part of our comprehensive Home Surveys or as a standalone service. Using a drone we are able to view those hard-to-reach areas and examine areas which are traditionally difficult to assess. Whether we're inspecting roofs, chimneys, or other elevated features, our drones can capture high-resolution images to help improve our advice to you.
Land Registry Compliant Plans
We are able to produce Land Registry Complaint Plans for land ownership purposes and property transactions.
We can produce detailed, accurately scaled diagrams of a property or land, demonstrating its exact boundaries and any rights of way or restrictions. These plans are an essential part of the Land Registry registration process, and we can work with your conveyancer to ensure that that property boundaries are clearly defined and legally recorded.
Architectural Design & Planning Services
We are not architects or planners but we can put you in touch with our trusted partners who are. Architectural Technologists can produce detailed plans and drawings for your planning applications and guide you through the process, for extension, conversion, or renovation work.
We have also worked closely with several Structural Engineers over the years, who we would trust again with remedying defects, or relying on for extension and conversion advice.
