Our independent advice helps property owners, insurers and other interested parties understand the extent and implications of damage, defects and other property-related matters.

From establishing the cost of reinstating a property following damage to assessing fire and flood-related issues, our experienced surveyors provide clear, objective advice to support insurance claims, property decisions and specialist requirements.

Specialist Reports

Our insurance valuation and assessment services provide independent professional advice where a property has been damaged or an insurance-related valuation is required. We assess the property and relevant circumstances to provide clear information that can support reinstatement, claims and decision-making.

Tax & Estate Valuations

Our specialist property reports provide independent professional advice where a standard valuation or survey does not fully address the requirements of a particular property matter.

We provide reports covering housing disrepair, building condition, property defects, asset value and feasibility, providing clear and practical information to help clients make informed decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

An Insurance Reinstatement Valuation assesses the estimated cost of rebuilding a property following a total or substantial loss. It focuses on rebuilding costs rather than the property's market value and can help establish an appropriate level of buildings insurance cover.

A market valuation assesses what a property is worth in the current market. An insurance reinstatement valuation instead considers the estimated cost of rebuilding the property, including relevant construction and associated professional costs.

A reinstatement valuation can help establish whether the building is insured for an appropriate amount. Underinsurance can potentially leave a property owner exposed if the cost of rebuilding exceeds the level of cover.

A Fire Damage Assessment involves inspecting areas of a property affected by fire and assessing the visible condition and extent of damage. The findings can help support discussions with insurers and determine whether further investigation is required.

Yes. We can provide an independent assessment of a property following fire damage, subject to the property being safe and accessible for inspection.

A Flood Damage Assessment considers the visible condition of areas affected by flooding or water ingress. The inspection can help establish the extent of damage and identify areas that may require further investigation or remedial work.
