RICS-regulated independent practice of experienced chartered surveyors specialising in delivering Red Book-compliant property valuations for residential and commercial property.
Based in the North West, this established RICS-accredited Chartered Surveyors valuation practice delivers Red Book-compliant valuation reports to lenders for secured lending, pension, accounting, and legal purposes both for residential and commercial property, including undertaking regular valuation engagements for lenders for development and operational businesses.
The firm has successfully secured panel status and have been serving both high street and secondary lenders through a combination of direct panel appointments and long-term panel administrator relationship that provide access to the majority of recognised UK lenders. These panel appointments are often difficult to secure and represent a meaningful barrier to entry for potential competitors.
The business maintains a lean structure with a team of qualified surveyors and experienced directors. All valuation work is completed in-house, ensuring consistency, speed, and compliance. Reports are typically delivered within ten working days of inspection, supported by efficient systems and robust internal quality control processes.
A high proportion of revenue is derived from repeat lender clients, and the business benefits from predictable income and minimal marketing spend. Current capacity constraints have limited the volume of instructions the business can service, and there is a significant pipeline of untapped quote requests, representing c.£3.5m-£4m in additional fee income.
The company has a strong financial profile with turnover in 2026 of £789 increasing from £763k in 2025 with continued further growth projected in the 2026/2027 financial year.
The service model is highly scalable and could be developed further by employing additional qualified surveyors or integrating the business into a wider surveying group. It presents a strong opportunity for a strategic buyer to build its own in-house chartered surveyors’ team. The Company’s flexible lease terms and remote-operational capability offer further ease of integration or relocation if required.
This is a well-positioned, compliant, and operationally lean practice with a strong reputation, established client relationships, and significant headroom for revenue growth.
