Services
RICS Home Survey
Our RICS Level 2 Home Survey provides a comprehensive assessment of residential properties, highlighting structural condition, maintenance needs, and market value. The report includes traffic-light ratings for key components, advice on repairs, and legal considerations. Ideal for conventional homes in average condition, it ensures informed property decisions.
Building Cost Assessments
We calculate accurate reinstatement costs for insurance purposes using RICS Building Cost Information Service data. Essential for homeowners, developers, and managing agents, these assessments ensure adequate coverage for residential properties, including blocks of flats and care homes. Updated every three years as recommended by RICS.
Red Book Valuations
RICS-compliant Red Book Valuations meet legal and financial requirements for Help to Buy schemes, probate, tax, and matrimonial cases. Our independent assessments provide market value opinions and retrospective valuations, supporting housing associations, developers, and private clients with precise, defensible figures.
