Professional Services

Commercial
From both Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge offices we handle the sale, letting and acquisition of all types of commercial premises including re-development situations and sites. Being the leading firm in both towns, we always have a high profile through a large number of commercial To Let/For Sale boards. We maintain an extensive data base of evidence and market transactions and an active mailing list of applicants and with aggressive marketing and liaison with other professionals involved in a transaction, we provide close client contact and support.

Valuations
We undertake valuations of all types of residential and commercial properties for sale, acquisition, rating, probate, IHT and CGT, matrimonial, bank and mortgage, accounts, and insurance reinstatement and investment purposes.

Building Surveys
As members of the RICS we provide all types of surveys including structural, building and condition surveys, Homebuyer Reports, party wall and boundary dispute, specification and building maintenance programmes, dilapidation schedules and building defect reports. We can provide Expert Witness Reports for all types of dispute.

Rent Review / Lease Renewal

We provide both landlord and tenant clients with advice on rent reviews and lease renewals and other Landlord and Tenant Act work including negotiations and liaising closely with clients’ legal advisers throughout a case.

Planning and Development
Through recent expansion we have become involved in many development land, property conversion and brownfield site disposals, advising a cross section of clients including public bodies, charities, Executors, companies and private individuals. With increased emphasis on achieving high density schemes following recent Government legislation and a highly competitive market place, it is important to seek independent professional advice in order to maximise site potential and value. We can help clients throughout the process right through to ultimate disposal.

Management
From both offices the firm handles the letting and management of residential and commercial property portfolio’s including all associated professional work with hands-on chartered surveyors’ involvement, pulling in skills from other departments for building maintenance related issues.

Rates
With the increasing burden of non-domestic rates it is important for ratepayers to ensure they are not paying more than necessary. We can advise in relation to the level of rateable values and handle the Appeal process and negotiations with the Valuation Office right through to settlement and refund.
