Adair Paxton has a considerable depth and breadth of expertise in survey and valuation, covering a wide range of requirements. The department is lead by Bruce Collinson FRICS and Stephen Holliday who between them have over 70 years experience in residential and commercial work, and they are assisted by William Marshall MRICS, MA (Hons).
We can survey and value residential, commercial and, crucially, mixed-use properties; we specialise in pre-purchase surveys, including the evergreen Homebuyer survey and our "Rolls-Royce" building survey, and with valuation records going far back, we provide taxation valuations, for Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax. Retrospective valuations, for taxation and litigation (whether claiming or defending) are regularly provided, for banks, lending institutions, private and corporate clients, including loss adjusters handling damage and diminution claims.
Bruce Collinson has extensive experience as an Expert Witness in negligence, diminution and Professional Indemnity claims. We specialise in Leasehold Enfranchisement work, dealing with leasehold purchases and extensions and the extensive database represented by our large flat service charge management portfolio gives valuable evidence, whether acting for freeholders or leaseholders. William Marshall heads this department.
Bruce Collinson is an RICS approved Neighbour Dispute Resolution specialist, dealing with boundary disputes and mediation. He also undertakes Development Appraisals and is actively involved in bringing forward both residential and commercial development sites. Typically, we have a dozen or more in hand at any given time.
