INDEPENDENT SURVEYS, CLEAR REPORTING, STRAIGHTFORWARD ADVICE TAILORED TO OUR CLIENT’S NEEDS AND REQUIREMENTS.

Party Wall Matters

Building work to a party wall, party structure or near a shared boundary? We act for Building Owners and Adjoining Owners, handling notices, schedules of condition, negotiations and Party Wall Awards with fairness and attention to detail. Whether you’re extending, converting a loft, removing chimney breasts or underpinning, we’ll guide you through each step with a practical, responsive approach designed to reduce delays, disputes and uncertainty.

Schedule of Condition Reports

Schedule of Condition Reports provide a clear, detailed record of a property’s condition before building work begins. We carry out thorough inspections, documenting relevant areas with written descriptions and photographs to create an objective baseline. This helps reduce disputes and supports fair resolution. Whether there are neighbouring works taking place, the start of a lease or a record is required. Schedule of Condition Reports are well placed to assist you.

Level 2 Surveys

Buying a home and want clear, practical advice before you commit? RICS Level 2 Surveys gives an accessible overview of a property’s condition, highlighting visible defects, risks and areas that may need attention. We inspect the main elements of the building and provide clear ratings, straightforward explanations and sensible recommendations. It’s ideal for conventionally built homes in reasonable condition, helping you avoid unexpected costs.

Level 3 Surveys

A RICS Level 3 Survey provides the most detailed assessment of a building’s condition, construction and defects. We carry out a thorough inspection and explain how the property is built, what problems we can see, why they may have occurred, and what they could mean for you. You’ll receive practical advice on repairs, maintenance priorities and likely costs, plus guidance on further investigations where appropriate. Ideal for period homes, properties in poor condition, or those that have been extended, renovated or structurally altered.

Snagging Surveys

Our Snagging Surveys helps you spot defects early and get them resolved before they become ongoing frustrations. We carry out a detailed inspection, checking finishes, fittings and key elements of the build for poor workmanship, damage, incomplete items or issues that don’t meet expected standards. You’ll receive a clear, organised report you can share with your developer or contractor, making it easier to agree a schedule of remedial works. It’s a practical way to protect your investment, save time, and move in with confidence.

Licence for Alterations

Alterations taking place to a leasehold flat? A Licence for Alterations is often required by the landlord before works can begin, helping protect the building and clarify responsibilities. We can assist by reviewing the proposed works, drawings and specifications, advising on risk and compliance, and supporting the process through to agreement. The licence typically sets out what is permitted, conditions for carrying out the works, reinstatement obligations and sign-off requirements. Whether you’re a tenant seeking approval or a landlord managing the asset, we provide clear, practical guidance to help avoid delays, disputes and costly misunderstandings.

Residential Valuations

Need a reliable residential valuation you can trust? We provide clear, evidence-based valuations for a range of purposes, including private sales, purchases, probate, taxation, matrimonial matters and general financial planning. Our approach is thorough and independent, with careful consideration of the property’s condition, location, comparable market evidence and any factors that may affect value. You’ll receive a clear figure and supporting commentary. Whether you’re a homeowner, solicitor or adviser, we deliver a responsive service, straightforward communication and a valuation you can rely on.

Boundary Disputes

Unclear boundaries can quickly become stressful and expensive. We provide practical, evidence-led support to resolve boundary disputes calmly and fairly. We review title deeds, Land Registry plans and relevant documents, carry out site inspection. You’ll receive clear advice on the boundary position, any risks or uncertainties, and the options available to move matters forward. We can also assist with negotiations between neighbours and provide clear reports to support solicitors when required. Our aim is to reduce conflict, avoid escalation, and help you reach a sensible outcome.

Defect Analysis Reports

Not sure what’s causing a problem in a property? Our Defect Analysis Reports provide a clear, evidence-led assessment of issues such as cracking, dampness, movement, leaks and deterioration. We inspect the affected areas, consider likely causes, and explain what’s happening—so you can make informed decisions. You’ll receive practical recommendations for remedial works, priorities, and costs, helping you reduce uncertainty and plan repairs with confidence.
