Are you considering buying a property?

An exciting time, but potentially full of pitfalls; we can help you make the right decisions. Do you need a full building Survey (previously known as a structural Survey), an RICS market Valuation, or an RICS HomeBuyer Survey (which combines elements of both, providing supportive and pragmatic advice which you will be able to readily understand)? Call us now to discuss without obligation what type of Survey is best for you and for a fixed quote.
 

Are you contemplating a building project?

 
It is a good time to extend or improve property, whether it is residential or commercial, your home or an investment; not least because permitted development has been widened recently. As Chartered Surveyors we can Project Manage small and medium sized projects, bringing a pragmatic and practical approach to getting the job done, including the design and planning application process. Should you wish, you will have access to our trusted contractors, all of whom sign our Charter and many of whom have worked for clients of the company for years and are well known to us.
 

Are you an Executor or recently bereaved?

 
Dealing with an estate is a challenging and often stressful experience, especially if you have been bereaved yourself. Depending on your individual needs, we can offer a flexible range of services - from providing RICS 'Red Book' Valuations for Inheritance Tax and for probate, through to arranging the Valuation and clearance of chattels, advising on any works that might improve the prospects of disposal, Project Management, and then handling the sale or letting of the estate’s property assets - or any single part of that process. Whatever you need, we have the experience to make things a little easier, when you need it most. Just give us a call and we will take care of the rest.
 

Is your property insured for the correct amount?

 
Are you paying too much, year on year, for your premiums? If your property is over insured then you are paying too much. But if it is the other way around (if you are under insured), you run the risk of not having sufficient insurance to cover the cost of rebuilding if the worst happened. As Chartered Surveyors regulated by RICS, we can provide competitive Reinstatement Valuations for insurance purposes. Call us now to discuss your situation - we will give you a fixed quote without any obligation.
 

Are you an owner or adjoining owner where a Party Wall matter exists?

 
If so, you need to know that a wide range of works which might affect the Party Wall, such as removing a chimney breast, or laying foundations for an extension, are subject to the Party Wall etc Act 1996.
 
There is a free guide regarding The Party Wall Act, but if you are not a professional, you should seek your own advice. Did you know that, if you are the recipient of a notice, the cost of obtaining advice is recoverable from your neighbour?
 
As Chartered Surveyors and Project Managers, we can give you all the advice you need. You are welcome to call and speak to one of our Chartered Surveyors for an initial, no obligation, discussion to see how we can help.
 

Are you a Solicitor or professional advisor?

 
You want to find good advice without spending more time than you have to. Whether it is tax Valuations for CGT, IHT or SDLT, Market Valuations for transfers of assets or Expert or Single Joint Expert for Matrimonial purposes, as Registered Valuers and Chartered Surveyors regulated by RICS, you can rely on us to provide you with what you need. For advice on these or any other property related issue, please call our Guildford office on 01483 504200.
