Our Services

*Home Surveys and Valuations:*

We offer a range of home surveys, including Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 surveys. Our surveys are designed to provide our clients with a comprehensive understanding of the condition of the property they are interested in purchasing. Our experienced surveyors identify any defects or structural issues, enabling our clients to make informed decisions about their investment.

A Level 2 survey is usually adequate for properties built in the last 100 years, in reasonable condition, and of traditional construction. However, if you have reason to be particularly worried about the structure of the building or are buying a period property or plan to significantly alter the property, we recommend instructing a Level 3 survey.

Our experienced valuers provide accurate and impartial valuations for a range of commercial and residential properties. Our valuations are based on extensive market research and analysis, ensuring that our clients receive the most accurate and reliable valuation possible.
