    Building condition survey

    Our Level 1 building condition survey is a complete unintrusive survey of the whole property, from the roof down to the basement. Not to be confused with a Homebuyer Level 3 survey, which informs you to instruct other surveys to undertake further investigations.

    Expert witness surveys and reports.

We have extensive experience being called to be Expert Witnesses for commercial and residential property disputes.
