& the Home Counties
Four things, done properly.
Most clients arrive needing one of four things. Pick the closest and we'll point you to the right level of detail — scoped to your property, not one size fits all.
Home Surveys
RICS Level 2 and Level 3 home surveys that set out what's serious and what's urgent in plain English — followed by a call with your surveyor to talk through the findings and answer your questions, so you can renegotiate or buy with confidence.
- Drone roof & chimney inspection up to 7 storeys
- Complimentary solicitor's summary to speed your sale
Valuations
Red Book RICS valuations for probate, capital gains, divorce, Help to Buy, shared ownership and mansion tax — a defensible Market Value, justified in plain writing.
- Carried out by RICS Registered Valuers
- Expert witness & single-joint-expert work
Leasehold reform
Lease extension and freehold advice — buying or selling your freehold — that protects the value of your home, costed and clearly explained.
- ALEP member leasehold specialists
- Private and public-sector clients
Party Wall
Party Wall advice whether you're the building owner planning works or an adjoining owner affected by them — notices, awards and neighbours kept onside, in line with the Act.
- Acting for building and adjoining owners
- Clear, proportionate and Act-compliant
What makes a Websters home survey different.
We keep volumes deliberately modest, so every property gets unhurried attention.
Complimentary solicitor's report
A free solicitor's summary with every home survey — a concise briefing for your conveyancer that helps keep your purchase moving from an informed position.
Drones as standard
On home surveys, our CAA-licensed pilots fly roofs and chimneys up to seven storeys — included whenever weather and location allow.
Modest volumes
Around four to five home surveys a week per surveyor. Fewer jobs than a high-volume firm, more care, and a report you can actually act on.
A real conversation
Your surveyor calls you after the inspection to talk the report through — explaining the findings, putting any defects in context, answering your questions and setting out the practical next steps, all in plain English rather than jargon.
Why Websters valuations and leasehold reform advice are a step above.
When a figure has to stand up to HMRC, a court or a freeholder's or leaseholder's surveyor, the reasoning behind it matters as much as the number.
Figures that withstand scrutiny
Red Book valuations with our opinion of Market Value justified in writing — built to stand up to HMRC, the courts and tribunals.
Registered Valuers, not an agent's estimate
An independent, RICS-regulated opinion from a Registered Valuer — not a sales appraisal with an incentive attached.
Genuine leasehold specialists
As ALEP members, bespoke advice on lease extensions, collective enfranchisement and Section 5 — grounded in a clear understanding of your legal position and negotiated through to settlement, not just a figure on paper.
Expert-witness credibility
Our Directors have sat on an RICS expert working group, written RICS consumer guidance, and appeared at Public Inquiries, Tribunals and Courts.
Why our Party Wall advice is so helpful.
Clarity from the first notice
We explain your rights and obligations under the Party Wall Act in plain English — whether you're the building owner planning works or the adjoining owner affected by them.
Proportionate and neighbourly
Notices and awards that protect your position without turning a building project into a dispute — keeping things moving and neighbours onside.
Dan Knowles · FRICS
“We exist to empower our clients with clarity, confidence and peace of mind in their property decisions — making the complex simple, and guiding every client with expertise and care.”
Reports written in plain English — with the evidence behind them.
Every report complies with RICS professional standards — the Red Book for our valuations and the RICS Home Survey Standard for our surveys. We're always happy to explain our reasoning, because a report you don't understand isn't much use to you.
