Valuations, surveys and disputes. Put your name to what a building is worth and what is wrong with it.
Surveying sells a signed opinion, and the whole risk of the practice sits in that signature: a missed defect or an optimistic valuation becomes a claim years later, which is why professional indemnity cover is the biggest fixed cost in the office. Volume work comes from lenders and homebuyers and rises and falls with housing transactions, so the practices that stay steady add building surveys, party wall matters and expert work that does not depend on people moving house.
