Throwback Thursday: thinking back to our fantastic CPD day a few weeks ago, delivered by the extremely knowledgeable Neil Marsden, damp & timber specialist. Our residential, commercial and engineering teams got together for a great morning filled with lively discussion and myth-busting around moisture and damp, followed by an afternoon of team-building and clay pigeon shooting, thanks to Ian Coley Sporting

Off the beaten track earlier this week, surveying a beautiful rural property in Greater Manchester 😍 The views more than compensated for getting stuck behind a tractor!

Lifting a loose carpet during a Level 3 Building Survey revealed significant cracking in the flooring at a Nottingham home, which our surveyor suspected could be a result of sulphate attack.

Read our latest update to learn what signs to look for this season, and find out what you should be asking your legal advisors before buying a house:

It's the time of year when our surveyors start to see Japanese knotweed growing and coming into leaf. While it can be hard to spot in the winter months, the spring growth means that now is a good time to check if the plant is present in your garden.
