So what do we do?

BUILDING SURVEYS

To protect yourself from problems and unforeseen costs, you need professional, independent property advice.

We will provide you with thorough, personalised property reports, written in plain English. Our friendly service ensures you have all the help and support you need, plus we will be pleased to make post-survey recommendations for contractors and specialists.

Examples of properties recently surveyed

PARTY WALL MATTERS

You should seek advice on Party Wall matters if you intend to carry out construction or property alterations involving any of the following:

  • Work on a wall, floor or ceiling shared with another property, loft conversions, new basements, extensions
  • Building on the boundary with another property
  • Excavating within six metres of an adjoining building

You can be affected by Party Wall matters in two ways:

  • You may receive a notice from your neighbour
  • You may wish to serve notice yourself

Sometimes the works may not actually affect a Party Wall and be some distance away, yet this still involves certain procedures.

DESIGN, REPAIRS, ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS TO HOMES

We can help you with design, repairs, alterations, improvements, obtaining where necessary, any local authority license and consents – planning permission and building control.

We have the ability to create or work with a pre-existing architectural design or convert to a detailed specification. We can seek contractors to provide competitive prices, prepare and administer contracts, also attend on a regular basis through to completion, ensuring the contractor complies with the contract and issue all necessary documentation.
