Our Services

Pre-Purchase Surveys

Comprehensive property condition surveys carried out prior to purchase, providing a clear assessment of the building’s structural integrity and overall condition. Reports identify defects, potential risks, and maintenance issues, giving you the information needed to make a confident and informed investment decision.

Planning & Retention Applications

Full preparation and management of planning and retention applications, including drawings, documentation, and submission to local authorities. The service ensures that developments are regularised where required and that all proposals are presented clearly to maximise the likelihood of approval.

Planning Appraisals

Initial planning assessments to determine the development potential of a site. This includes identifying planning constraints, zoning considerations, and the likelihood of securing permission, helping clients make informed decisions before committing to a project.

Certificates of Compliance

Provision of Certificates of Compliance confirming that completed works align with granted planning permission and relevant building regulations. This service is essential for property sales, refinancing, and legal assurance.

Certificates of Exemption

Assessment and certification confirming that certain developments are exempt from planning permission under current regulations. This provides clarity and formal confirmation where planning permission is not required.

Declaration of Identity

Preparation of Declaration of Identity documentation required for planning applications, verifying ownership or legal interest in the property. This ensures compliance with statutory requirements and supports a smooth planning process.

Snag Lists

Detailed snagging inspections for new builds and recently completed properties, identifying defects, incomplete works, and substandard finishes. Reports are in depth and detailed, allowing clients to ensure all issues are addressed by the contractor before final handover.

CAD Drawings

Production of accurate and detailed CAD drawings for planning, construction, and as-built purposes. Drawings are prepared to a professional standard suitable for submissions, contractors, and project coordination.
