Pre-purchase survey

one-page pre-purchase condition report

Many of our clients have benefited from our one-page pre-purchase condition report. This is a visual inspection of a property you’re considering purchasing, designed to help inform your decision on whether to proceed with the purchase.

This small investment has helped clients avoid high-risk buildings, saving money on conveyancing and further surveys. It also provides leverage to submit offers below the asking price, reducing initial investment and potentially lowering stamp duty costs. Alternatively, it can give the confidence to make a full asking price offer and secure the property with peace of mind.

Heritage statements of significance

Providing a clear understanding of a property’s significance

A Heritage Statement, or Statement of Significance, assesses the historical, architectural, and cultural value of a heritage property. 

It ensures that any proposed changes are sympathetic to the building's character, comply with planning regulations, and preserve its integrity. 

This service is ideal for homeowners, architects, developers, and planners working with listed buildings or heritage sites. 

Providing a clear understanding of a property’s significance, it helps streamline planning applications, avoid delays, and ensure that modern interventions respect the property's heritage, balancing conservation with practical needs.
