About Buchanan Chartered Surveyors

We are not the biggest firm of Chartered Surveyors on the planet, in fact we’re not even close, and have no aspirations to be. We are a small family business which prides itself on personal, professional service. We are approachable and easy to deal with and having been around for 33 years we think we have been around the block a few times and valued most types of property, from Local Authority flats to country estates, from mortuaries to golf courses, we are truly multi-disciplinary.

We believe that we are approachable and in tune with our clients’ requirements.

Having been part of very large national firms in the past we know how easy it is to disconnect with the people that mean the most to our business, you the client. We understand the importance of client contact, so often missing in larger companies. Our philosophy is to offer an excellent service with a personal touch.

We can guarantee you that any professional work undertaken on your behalf will be conducted by an experienced RICS regulated surveyor to an exceptional standard.

We are proud supporters of FACE (Fighting Against Cancer Edinburgh).

Residential
We provide a full range of residential reports.

If you’re about to sell your property, then you’ll need to get a Home Report.

If you’re a buyer then you may well want to consider an independent assessment of the property you are thinking of buying. This could give you peace of mind or alert you to some issue not previously reported on.

A Mortgage Valuation report, or Scheme 1, is a basic inspection normally instructed by a lending institution. This is not a detailed survey and only visible defects that have a material effect on value are reported. The sole aim of this restricted inspection is to provide an opinion of market value of the property and advise whether the property is suitable to lend on.

If you’re about to buy a property, then you might want to think about getting your own survey carried out. A Homebuyers Report and Valuation, or Scheme 2 report, may be what you need. This is a detailed inspection focusing on significant defects and includes an independent valuation. This inspection is more detailed than a Home Report and is specific to you, the client.

Commercial
Having been in business, and valuing property, for more than 30 years we have a wide and varied knowledge of all types of property and if you are a business that owns or rents its property there is no doubt that you will require a valuation at some time or another.

Whether it’s for Company accounts purposes, Secured Lending reasons, end of lease repairs, LBTT assessment, Capital Gains Tax, rent assessment or dispute resolution, we can provide the expertise, at a sensible cost that will meet your needs.
