Q&A Guide to Land Surveying
What is a topographical survey?
A topographical survey is a detailed survey that maps the physical features and contours of a land or site, including elevation, vegetation, structures, and other relevant elements.
Why are topographical surveys important?
Topographical surveys are essential for understanding the characteristics of a site, assisting in design and development projects, assessing drainage patterns, identifying potential obstacles, and aiding in land management decisions.
What is an underground utility survey?
An underground utility survey involves locating and mapping underground utilities such as water pipes, gas lines, electrical conduits, and telecommunications cables using specialised equipment and techniques.
Why are underground utility surveys necessary?
Underground utility surveys help prevent accidental utility strikes during construction or excavation projects, ensuring worker safety, avoiding service disruptions, and minimising project delays and costly repairs.
What is a measured building survey?
A measured building survey is a comprehensive survey that captures accurate measurements and details of existing buildings, including floor plans, elevations, and sections, often used for design, renovation, or documentation purposes.

How do we value your home? The Comparable Method Explained
What Is the Comparable Method of Valuation?
The comparable method of valuation relies on the principle of substitution: buyers typically will not pay more for a property than they would for a similar one in the same market. We analyse data from recent sales of comparable properties to determine a realistic market value for your home.
This method works particularly well for residential properties, where we can access a wealth of data on similar homes in your area.
Flood Damage: Immediate Actions, Clean-Up, and Prevention Tips
Flooding can cause significant damage to your property, but acting quickly and following the right steps can minimise the impact. Learn about immediate actions to take, how to clean up safely, managing insurance claims, and ways to protect your home from future flooding.
How Labour’s 2024 Budget Will Shape the UK Property Landscape
Labour’s 2024 budget brings transformative changes to the UK property landscape, targeting increased revenue through tax adjustments aimed at property owners, investors, and tenants. Key measures include a higher stamp duty on second homes, inheritance tax caps, an end to the first-time buyer stamp duty discount, and an increase in capital gains tax. While the policies are intended to encourage homeownership and ensure fairer contributions from high-value estates, they may have unintended effects on the rental market, affordability, and property availability. In this article, we break down each change and its potential impact on property buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants alike.
