Building Surveys
A full building survey is imperative if you are buying a new or old property. Our reports are very comprehensive and detail any significant remedial work required.
Home Buyers Report
A home buyer’s survey is less comprehensive than a full Building Survey and is more suitable if you are purchasing a flat or newer house.

Testimonials
Thank you for the full building survey carried out on the commercial property in Ascot. I’ve never purchased a commercial property before so your knowledge, experience and down to earth advice was invaluable.
Thank you for your advice on my client’s property which was in a chronic state of disrepair. Your survey allowed me to price the house appropriately and it was sold within 6 hours of being put on the market. The owner is over the moon as she can now get on with the rest of her life.
I’m writing to thank you for your due diligence and professionalism in negotiating with the Valuations office and obtaining the excellent reduction of our Rateable Value saving us £260,000. This has had a very favourable impact on the company’s balance sheet. This was a substantial reduction, which exceeded our expectations and I’m extremely grateful for your efforts on our behalf.
We were impressed with the professional manner in which our account was dealt with by your staff, from the initial appeal to final negotiations with the valuations office. Thank you for securing a large reduction on our business rates. We have recommended you to other hotels whom I understand have become clients
