Professional Surveyors Ltd

RICS chartered surveyors for commercial and residential property

Professional Surveyors Ltd is a firm regulated by RICS and staffed by MRICS-qualified chartered surveyors, according to its own presentation. The practice states more than 15 years of experience across the commercial and residential property sectors and works for landlords, occupiers, investors and home buyers.

The company is directed by Michael Brough, who holds a BA (Hons), an MSc and MRICS status. The firm describes his work as covering building surveying services in both sectors, with particular weight on the negotiation and preparation of dilapidations documents and on RICS home surveys for buyers.

Commercial surveying: schedules of condition and dilapidations

The commercial side of the practice is organised around lease-related documents and assessments. The services listed are:

• Schedule of Condition
• Dilapidations advice
• Schedule of Dilapidations
• Pre-lease assessment
• Commercial surveys
• Refurbishment projects

The firm frames this work around the different positions parties occupy in a lease. It states that it negotiates dilapidations on behalf of occupiers and prepares schedules of dilapidations for landlords, as well as schedules of condition for prospective tenants.

Residential surveys under the RICS framework

For home buyers, the company carries out the two RICS home survey levels. The Level 2 survey is presented as the Home Buyers Survey and the Level 3 as the Building Survey, also described as a full building survey. Both are offered as standard residential products alongside the commercial workload.

Where the firm works

Coverage differs by type of instruction. Residential surveys are offered across the North West, with Chester, Warrington, Wrexham, Widnes, Conwy, Wigan, Wirral, Stockport and Manchester named as areas served. Commercial surveys are presented with nationwide coverage, citing Manchester, Leeds, Bristol, Birmingham, London and Cardiff among the locations covered.

Reputation and client communication

The site refers to five-star reviews and describes the firm as a trusted surveyor, without specifying the platform on which those ratings were recorded. In its own account of how it works, the practice emphasises communication with each client and adapting the service to the requirements of the particular instruction.
