Services
Residential Building Surveys
Our residential building surveys identify structural defects, damp issues, and subsidence risks in domestic properties. Using RICS guidelines, we assess property condition, offering detailed repair recommendations and cost estimates. Clients receive clear, jargon-free reports to inform purchase decisions or renovation plans.
Probate Valuations
We conduct HMRC-compliant probate valuations to determine property values for inheritance tax purposes. Our RICS Red Book reports include market analysis, comparable sales data, and negotiation support with tax authorities, ensuring accurate assessments to prevent penalties or delays.
Party Wall Advice
Guidance on the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, including serving notices, dispute resolution, and Award preparation. We assess structural works affecting shared walls, ensuring compliance with legal requirements while protecting adjoining properties from damage.
Boundary Dispute Resolution
We resolve property boundary conflicts through precise land surveys and title document analysis. Our reports clarify legal boundaries, preventing escalation to litigation. Clients receive actionable recommendations to settle disputes amicably with neighbours.
RICS Red Book Valuations
Independent property valuations adhering to RICS Valuation Standards. These reports assess market value for matrimonial, tax, lease extension, or investment purposes using sales comparisons, income capitalisation, and cost methodologies to ensure regulatory compliance and accuracy.
