The key question in any transaction should be What is the value of the property?​
The Market Value is essentially how much a buyer would be happy to pay for the property assuming they were willing to pay the market value and were not placed under any undue pressure. At the same time, this reflects the amount the seller would be willing to accept.
Our experienced RICS accredited surveyors are all members of the Registered Valuer Scheme giving you the assurance the valuation report will be wholly compliant with the RICS Red Book and the Internation Valuation Standards (IVS).
''I would not hesitate to recommend them to a friend or colleague looking for a surveyor.''
