Valuations

A large part of our valuation work is carried out on behalf of mortgage lenders, but we also do valuations for private individuals involving matrimonial disputes, probates and other legal matters.

Condition Reports

In respect of conditions report, we can provide a variety of reports, depending upon the depth into which a customer wishes to go. The common types of condition report we carry out are as follows:
