Our Services
Martin and Martin offer a broad range of property related advice but specialise in the survey and valuation of residential property for private clients and mortgage lenders. Our highly trained and experienced Partners are RICS Registered Valuers and have always worked in the same relatively small geographical area giving us unrivalled local knowledge of the residential property market.
If you are thinking about purchasing a property then you should consider having a private survey carried out, to ensure you are fully informed of structural and price considerations before you enter into a binding contract to purchase. There are three types of inspection and report formats available to private clients:-
Level 1 - The Residential Valuation Report: Broadly comparable to a Mortgage Valuation, the Residential Valuation Report is based on a limited inspection of the property and can be carried out on any type of property... more
Level 2 - The Homebuyer Survey: The Homebuyer Survey is an economy package, in a fixed report format, designed for more modern properties in apparently good condition... more
Level 3 - The Building Survey: The Building Survey is suitable for any type of property, especially those which are old, are in poor condition or have been significantly extended or altered... more
RICS advice to assist home purchasers is provided in the following documents:-

Homebuyers survey
Purchasing a property is one of the more important and expensive decisions most of us ever have to make. Commissioning a private survey helps ensure that the decision to proceed, or otherwise, is a fully informed one.
Building survey
The type of survey most suitable for you will depend on the type, age and complexity of the house, how much detail and discussion you require and your budget.
Valuations
We can carry out valuations for a variety of purposes including probate, matrimonial, shared ownership and taxation and can act for the Courts as Experts. Our computerised database and local knowledge allows us to confidently provide retrospective valuations.
