VALUATIONS
We undertake valuations for banks and building societies, probate, matrimonial disputes, acquisitions, tax, accounting and general asset purposes. Our qualified surveyors carry out valuations in accordance with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Valuation Standards, or informally, if appropriate.
EXPERT WITNESS REPORTS
We are experienced in the preparation of Expert Witness Reports for court, usually involving disputes in the valuation of property.
RATING APPEALS & ADVICE
Rates are a major expense for many businesses and are calculated according to the rateable value of a property, which is based on the property's rental value. All business property is re-valued every 5 years and interim re-valuations are made where there are changes to an individual property or its circumstances. We act on behalf of a wide range of clients from local authorities to single occupiers, assessing rateable values, submitting and negotiating appeals with the Valuation Office Agency.
LANDLORD AND TENANT
Business leases have unique technical and legal issues, including the conduct of rent reviews and lease renewals. We act on behalf of landlords and tenants providing advice on rental values, service of notices, tactics and negotiations in lease renewal and rent review situations.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
We offer a comprehensive and professional rent collection and property management service to landlords to take the strain out of the ownership of commercial property investments.
ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATES
It is now a legal requirement for sellers and landlords to provide an Energy Performance Certificate when marketing any property. We have an in-house assessor who is qualified to prepare EPC's on most types of commercial property.
