Why use a Chartered Surveyor?

We can help with providing independent valuations that are not swayed by external influences. An estate agents valuation will be a useful guide for marketing purposes as a price to place a property on the market. This is often a high figure as the agent's commission will be a percentage of it.

In contrast, if you require a precise valuation, an independent Chartered Surveyor can provide you a "Market Value" or "Market Rent" valuation, being the price the Property should be purchased, sold or leased for, and will help you to not pay more for the Property, and can be useful for negotiating a lower price.

Our valuations are used for many purposes, be it for private purposes, statutory purposes (i.e. grant of probate and taxation purposes), company accounts, pension funds, financial separation and other purposes. Our valuations are very thorough, unlike mortgage valuations, and our valuations are backed by Professional Indemnity Insurance with very generous limits.
