Our services
Surveying services built around your property
From first-time buyers to seasoned investors, we provide clear, independent advice on every type of property.
RICS Home Surveys
Level 2 & Level 3
Buying a property is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make. Our RICS Home Surveys give you a thorough, readable assessment of the property's condition before you commit. A Level 2 survey suits most modern and conventionally built homes. A Level 3 Building Survey is recommended for older, larger, or more complex properties — it goes deeper into the structure and fabric of the building and includes our assessment of defects and repair options.

- Clear condition ratings and priority recommendations

Building Defect Investigations
Diagnosis & expert reports
Damp patches, cracking walls, sagging floors, roof failures — building defects are rarely straightforward. We investigate the root cause, not just the visible symptom, and produce a clear expert report explaining what's wrong, why it's happened, and what needs to be done. Our reports are used by homeowners, landlords, solicitors, and insurers.
- Damp and condensation investigations
- Structural cracking and movement analysis
- Roof and rainwater defect reports
- Timber decay and infestation assessments
- Expert witness reports for legal proceedings
Party Wall Matters
Awards & agreements
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to a wide range of building works near shared boundaries — extensions, loft conversions, basement excavations, and more. We act as party wall surveyor for both building owners and adjoining owners, ensuring the correct notices are served, schedules of condition are prepared, and awards are agreed fairly. We keep projects moving without unnecessary disputes.

Commercial Surveys & Due Diligence
Acquisition & investment
Whether you're acquiring a retail unit, office building, industrial premises, or mixed-use investment, thorough due diligence is essential. We carry out pre-acquisition surveys that give you a clear picture of the property's condition, identify material defects, and highlight liabilities — so you can negotiate from a position of knowledge or walk away with confidence.

Dilapidations
Landlord & tenant
Dilapidations disputes at lease end can be costly and time-consuming.

Acting early — before lease expiry — can significantly reduce your exposure. We provide clear, commercially minded advice throughout.
