Services Offered

At Ely Langley Greig, we offer a comprehensive range of services, including:

Building Surveys

Building surveys are crucial for anyone looking to purchase a property. Our building surveys are thorough and comprehensive, providing you with a detailed report on the condition of the property you are considering purchasing. Our surveys will alert you to any potential issues, allowing you to make an informed decision before committing to the purchase.

RICS HomeBuyer Reports

If you are buying a property, we recommend considering a RICS HomeBuyer Report. These reports are designed for modern properties that are in reasonable condition. They provide a clear and concise report on the condition of the property, highlighting any areas of concern.

Valuations

We offer valuation services for a variety of purposes, including shared ownership, probate, and matrimonial split. Our valuations are carried out by experienced and qualified professionals, ensuring that you receive an accurate and reliable valuation.

Party Wall Act

If you are planning to build within six metres of a neighbouring property, you may need to consider the Party Wall Act 1996. We offer a full range of services related to the Party Wall Act, including serving and responding to notices, preparing schedules of condition and awards, and agreement of any remedial work needed.

Expert Witness

We regularly provide expert witness services for parties involved in litigation related to property matters. We prepare Single Joint Expert and Party Expert reports that comply with the Civil Procedure Rules. Our experts have given evidence in the High Court and County Court.

Leasehold Extension and Enfranchisement

If you are a leaseholder and there are only 80 years or so remaining on your lease, you may want to consider purchasing a 90-year extension or collectively buying the freehold with others in your block. We can provide advice and calculate the price for leasehold extension or enfranchisement. We can also carry out negotiations on your behalf.

Schedules of Condition and Dilapidations

We can prepare schedules of condition to demonstrate the condition of commercial property at the commencement of a tenancy, limiting the tenant's repairing liability. We can also prepare dilapidations schedules during the tenancy and at the end of the lease to establish the condition of the building and the work needed to be done by the tenant to meet their obligations under the lease.

Rent Reviews and Lease Renewals

We have extensive experience in negotiating rent reviews and lease renewals. We represent the interests of our clients vigorously but sensitively, ensuring the best possible outcome for our clients.

Property Management

We offer a full commercial property management service, including rent collection, periodic inspection, repairs specification and supervision, and service charge administration.
