Building Surveying

We provide a broad range of professional building surveying services for owners and occupiers alike, including;

  • Due diligence / pre-acquisition advice
  • Dilapidations – acting on behalf of a landlord or tenant
  • Development / project monitoring
  • Schedules of condition
  • Reinstatement cost assessments
  • Listed building and conservation advice
  • Planned maintenance programmes and advice
  • Residential building surveys.

Capital Allowances

In conjunction with our specialist tax partner we offer a full property capital allowances service. Research suggests that 9 out of 10 owners of commercial properties could be due significant funds back from the HMRC due to unclaimed capital allowances. These claims relate to items such as cabling, air conditioning units or security systems where historically, due to a lack of detailed accounting, surveying and engineering knowledge, claims have not been made. Carters in association with our capital allowances specialist partner brings together the required skills in order to offer the optimal solution to its clients.

Finance/Compliance Commercial Property Review

Financial and Operational Compliance Review – With our commercial property audit experience we are uniquely placed to offer comprehensive financial and compliance reviews of commercial properties.

Service Charge Expenditure Review – Review and benchmarking of service charge expenditure to ensure best value is obtained. Changes in legislation, best practice or a different use of the property can often create opportunities to generate financial savings which can then be either re-invested or delivered back to the tenant through service charge savings. 

Investment Advice

We provide informed pre-acquisition advice, which encompasses elements of our building surveying, property management and valuation services. We advise many of our clients in relation to the disposal of their investment properties to ensure the optimum result is achieved and we often manage the disposal process from start to finish. We are in contact with a network of property investors throughout the region and beyond which often helps to facilitate off-market deals and seamless transactions.
