• Formal Valuations
  This can be for banks, in-house requirements, SIPP’s or valuations for mortgage security purposes. Our RICS Surveyors have the latest database systems to hand in order to find comparable evidence to support their market knowledge in order to complete a formal valuation.

• Rent Reviews
  We act for both landlord and tenant, between the surveyors there is over 50 years of experience in the London Commercial Property Market providing a vast knowledge on areas, market trends and rental values. Goodsir Graham subscribe to the latest property research houses that employ an army of researches to add in the latest transactions in order to compile every piece of comparable evidence possible to assist in the best possible outcome on each rent review negotiation.

• Lease Renewals
  Because we have a very broad and active commercial agency division, we can provide both landlord and tenant the best possible advise on renewal of an expired lease, this would be subject to both parties desire to renew and the terms of the lease being included or excluded from the 1954 Landlord and Tenant Act.

Through our consultants surveyors we can also provide the following services:

• Photographic Schedule Of Conditions
  We would highly recommend that any new lease that is being negotiated between both parties solicitors that a signed photographic schedule is attached carried out by our RICS qualified surveyor. A tenant’s repairing obligations is then clearly recorded as to the condition that the property should be returned to the landlord in. Our consultant surveyor specializes in dilapidations with over 30 years experience in the building consultancy, dilapidations and surveying fields. It is usual practice that the tenant covers the cost for a photographic schedule.  

• Dilapidation Schedules
  Having a qualified surveyor acting for you at the lease expiry to carry out a Schedule of Dilapidations is sound advice to make the whole process of handover straight forward and clearer to what the obligations are from the tenant’s point of view and to assist in the dilapidations negotiations at the end of the lease term.

• Building Survey Reports
  Buying property is probably the largest single investment any one would make in their life time. Although building survey reports amount to several hundred pounds, it is a minor cost to pay when you have the peace of mind knowing what structural defects there are, which in some cases could determine whether it is economically  viable to continue with a transaction to completion or not.
