A mortgage valuation is not a survey as it belongs to the lender. Instructing your own RICS survey will highlight potential problems for you and your legal advisors, providing confidence in your purchase. When you invest a large amount of money in a property, you should do everything you can to maintain or even increase its value.
When you invest a large amount of money in a property, you should do everything you can to maintain or even increase its value. A simple way of doing this is by extending the lease. The Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 (as amended) gives the long leaseholders of flats the right to extend their lease by an additional 90 years at effectively zero ground rent.
Regardless of the reason for extending your lease, buying or selling your freehold, the Arnold & Baldwin team can assist you. The Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 not only confirmed the right for leaseholders of houses to purchase their freehold, it extended this to the leaseholders of flats to collectively enfranchise, subject to certain requirements.

We were really thrilled with our choice. The process was seamless; Tyler really had a sense of what we looking for and was so informative on the phone. The admin of booking and payment was so straightforward. Nathanael was meticulous; he kindly scheduled two phone calls to go through all the details and no daft question was too daft. Would highly recommend.

I'm hardly a property tycoon, but I have engaged Arnold & Baldwin for a number of surveys. There is a clear difference in the customer service and quality of their work vs others. For example the home buyers report I received was full of useful and specific information, furthermore I was able to have a call with the surveyor to understand better the rating. Other reports I've had from other surveyors were just full of waffle! They are on the more expensive side for their services, but they are absolutely worth it. The quality and customer service really comes through.
I not only would recommend

L was very disappointed with Arnold & Baldwin. The surveyor failed to identify rising damp issues which cost over 5k to repair and meant the living room was out of use for months.
Joe Arnold was unwilling to accept any responsibility. I raised that in his response part of his decision not to accept responsibility was based on his assumption that I had removed the skirting board to discover the damp, when I had not. This was a testament to his inability to carry out a fair investigation void of bias for Arnold & Baldwin’s benefit. Arnold & Baldwin then contacted me to visit the property to consider
