Practical surveying support across the city
Birmingham's property market is large and varied, from Victorian terraces to city centre apartments and converted industrial buildings. I work across the city remotely and visit in person for schedules of condition, giving owners, landlords, investors and businesses clear documents at fixed prices.
Property types across Birmingham
- Victorian and Edwardian terraces in neighbourhoods such as Moseley, Kings Heath, Handsworth and Small Heath, where refurbishments often uncover older roofs, chimneys and earlier alterations.
- Student and shared housing around Selly Oak and Edgbaston, where landlords need efficient turnarounds over the summer.
- Converted workshops and apartments in the Jewellery Quarter and Digbeth. The Jewellery Quarter is a conservation area with many listed buildings, so works may need extra consents.
- Suburban family housing in Sutton Coldfield, Erdington, Hall Green and beyond, from interwar semis to modern estates.
Commercial premises and leases
As the region's main commercial centre, Birmingham has a deep stock of offices, shops and industrial units, and leases are constantly starting and ending. If you are a tenant facing a schedule of dilapidations, a dilapidations review gives you an item-by-item technical view to support negotiation. It is not an expert witness report, and where a signed RICS report is needed I can arrange sign-off through a chartered partner firm.
Taking on new premises? A photographic schedule of condition at the start of the lease is one of the simplest ways to avoid a dispute at the end of it. Contractors fitting out units can get a site-specific CDM construction phase plan written for the job.
Investors and refurbishment projects
For buy-to-let and refurbishment projects, a lender-friendly schedule of works helps you get like-for-like quotes and supports bridging or refurbishment finance applications.
Nearby areas
I also cover Solihull, West Bromwich, Smethwick, Oldbury and Halesowen. See also Wolverhampton for the wider Black Country.

Building surveyor Birmingham: common questions
Do you cover all of Birmingham?
Yes. Remote services cover the whole city, and site visits for schedules of condition cover Birmingham, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield and the surrounding area.
Can you help with a listed building or conservation area property?
I can write schedules of works for older and listed buildings and will flag items that are likely to need listed building consent or planning permission. You should confirm consent requirements with Birmingham City Council before works start.
Do you act as an expert witness on dilapidations claims?
No. My dilapidations reviews are technical reviews to support negotiation. If a claim moves towards formal proceedings you will need a solicitor and may need a chartered surveyor; where a signed RICS report is required I can arrange sign-off through a chartered partner firm.
Can you turn round a student let schedule quickly?
Yes. Remote schedules of works are usually delivered within 2 to 5 working days. If you are working to a tenancy start date, tell me and I will confirm timing in your quote.
