Moving home or finding a problem in your home is one the most stressful events you will deal with.  Having a Building Survey may appear to be a just another addition burden, but Alan Holmes Building Surveying can work with you to help relieve the stress and give you assurance on condition and value.  Specialising in all forms of building defects analysis, pre purchase surveys and homebuyer’s valuations, commercial dilapidations (tenants side), party wall matters and asset management for more than 25 years, Alan Holmes will be there to discuss your building concerns.

Alan Holmes DipSurv, MRICS, MCIOB, MCIAT, RMaPS, is a highly experienced Building Surveyor, specialising in building defects pathology and technology.
Alan Holmes offers a professional yet personal service and always aims to exceed your expectations.

His goal: very simply, having listened to what each client actually wants to achieve, is to provide an outstanding, personal service as cost effectively as possible.

” My survey report assures that you are paying the right price for the property, taking into account it’s condition. I recently carried out a survey for Mr Hogg (Walkergate) identified subsidence in the property and helped negotiate a £10,000 reduction in purchase price.  He had no surprises when he moved in, assured that he paid the right price for the property and I was there to negotiate with lenders, insurers and contractor.  Mr Hogg says the most important thing for him during this process was ‘peace of mind’.

I left the traditional large practice model to operate as a sole practitioner along with assistance from my son. Clients therefore get me, not a junior surveyor.  I work from a purpose built office at my home, everything is done on-line, if and when I need the extra resource I outsource typically to other professionals such as structural engineers, mechanical engineers within my network (to maintain cost advantage).

Typical clients include purchasers, Developers, Registered social landlords, Private Landlords, Asset Managers, Solicitors and Commercial tenants, providing a complete building surveying  experience.

I have no big office overheads, minimal operational overheads, complete control over my charging rate and what I actually bill, no billing target to hit, with no compromise ever on quality or delivery. ”
