Services
Dobson & Poole was established at Crystal Palace SE19 in 1988 and relocated to Bromley in 2008. We pride ourselves on giving a fully independent, personal and professional service to our clients. Martin Dobson was one of the founding partners, Steve Laurie joined the company in 2002 and Deren Huseyin joined the team in 2018.
A house or flat will probably be the most expensive purchase of your life and, therefore, you need to know as much as possible about its structural integrity and condition before you make such a major commitment. A survey report will assist you in making an informed decision about whether to proceed with the purchase.
This is simply an opinion of the Market Value of the property at the date of inspection and may be required for various different purposes. The most common example is a mortgage valuation. Your mortgage company will arrange for a valuation to be carried out, normally at your expense.
Dobson & Poole act on behalf of both Landlords and Lessees with respect to dilapidations claims and we provide support and negotiation for commercial and residential properties. The law of dilapidations is a complex field where statute case law and professional practice are constantly evolving the way in which repairing covenants in leases are interpreted and drafted.
Our experienced Chartered Building Surveyors are often called upon to act as Expert Witnesses in litigation cases concerning building-related disputes. We are fully acquainted with the Civil Procedure Rules and Codes of Conduct laid down by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors which govern the manner in which surveyors present their reports and give evidence in Court.

Excellent service and reasonable price for the area. Deren did a building survey on a property we are purchasing, and returned a detailed but very readable report within days. Highly recommended, I will definitely be using their services again when required.

Deren has always provided excellent service. When we bought our first home, we used Deren to conduct our survey. He was very thorough in his report with a very quick turn around. We recently also reached out to him to inspect some internal alterations we are planning. Deren was very professional. Thanks a lot for your help. I'm sure we will be back soon :)

Excellent experience of using Dobson and Poole. Deren oversaw the 8-month long re-instatement of the basement in my flat following a flood. He gave excellent advice, employed excellent contractors for the building work which was of a very high standard and was responsive, supportive in dealing with the insurance company and very thorough in his approach. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Deren performed a level 3 survey under challenging conditions on my prospective property purchase. He delivered a comprehensive report in a timely manner. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dobson & Poole; I for one will use them again should the occasion arise.
