Services
Building Surveys
Our Level 2 and Level 3 building surveys examine all accessible property elements, identifying structural issues, maintenance needs, and hidden defects. We specialise in Yorkshire's traditional construction methods and French heritage properties, delivering clear English reports with practical repair recommendations. Clients receive expert insights into property condition, helping avoid costly post-purchase surprises.
Property Valuations
As RICS Registered Valuers, we provide legally recognised property valuations for purchase decisions, insurance, probate, and matrimonial cases. Our assessments consider local market trends, property condition, and improvement potential across Yorkshire and France. Reports include detailed reasoning behind valuations, helping clients understand factors affecting their property's worth.
Heritage Surveys
Specialist surveys for listed and period buildings, conducted by one of only 130 RICS Certified Historic Building Professionals worldwide. We assess traditional construction methods, identify conservation needs, and provide appropriate repair solutions. Our expertise prevents misdiagnosis of heritage features that general surveyors often misunderstand.
Drone Roof Surveys
Non-invasive roof inspections using drone technology, providing high-resolution imagery of hard-to-reach areas. This cost-effective alternative to scaffolding identifies chimney defects, gutter issues, and roof covering problems. Surveys include visual documentation and repair recommendations for both UK and French properties.
Single Defect Analysis
Focused investigations into specific property issues like damp, cracks, or timber decay. This cost-effective service avoids full survey requirements by addressing individual concerns. Clients receive practical solutions for identified defects, with clear guidance on necessary remedial work and budget estimates.
