We don't sell houses, are not part of a large organisation and are fully independent. We survey and value residential property for private Clients and that is all that we do.

We provide a competitively priced service to our Clients and give professional advice that frequently saves those Clients money - often thousands of pounds.

Our expertise is in the survey and valuation of houses, flats and land and deal only with professional work that is our speciality and chosen area of expertise. That way we give the best that we have to offer to all of our Clients and there is no area of compromise.

If we don't consider that we can offer a Client sufficient in the way of experience and expertise we will always make the recommendation for another surveyor or expert to deal with a case.

We don't deal with much in the way of commercial property work, unless it's small scale and within our area of experience. Friends in the commercial property world do likewise and we cross refer Clients between us when the need arises.

Our world is black and white.

 There are no grey areas.

We take a detached view, because that's our job.

We tell you what's wrong and what problems you will need to rectify now, soon or in due course.

This is what you need to know before you buy.

Always remember that Estate Agents don't 'value', they give marketing advice and have little idea of property condition,, unless the house they are marketing is obviously in need of repair!

They have no interest,whatsoever, in letting you know if there are faults, as that may prevent you from expressing an interest, viewing and possibly buying.

In a great many many respects, the last thing they want you to do is engage a Surveyor to establish property condition.  By doing so, the Estate Agent can anticipate more work being needed to sell the house, renegotiation of the purchase price being a perfect example!

We value based on condition and many of our Clients renegotiate with  the information they receive from the survey report.
