Services
Geoff started the Practice in 1986 as a Sole Practitioner, the Practice then changed to a Limited Company and is Regulated by RICS. Geoff was elected to Fellowship of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in 1995. Geoff is the mainstay of the Company having over 40 years of experience in many aspects of Surveying including Building surveying, Conservation, Dispute Resolution, Facilities Management Faculty, and Valuation.
We provide home buyer surveys throughout Broadstairs, Ramsgate, Margate and beyond. Our home buyer survey service is in accordance with the regulations set out by the RICS Home Buyer service, we can also offer drains and electrical tests with this type of survey. The surveyor gives their opinion on both the market value of the property and the reinstatement cost at the time of their inspection.
Residential Valuations are usually carried out on domestic properties for a variety of reasons. These can include probate, divorce or to establish the market Value of a property prior to marketing or purchasing. Residential valuations can also be for security purposes when approaching a lender for a mortgage or other loan.
This is an area largely following the procedure set out under the heading of Planning and Development. Chartered Building Surveyors are familiar with preparing architectural plans and designs and here at Geoff Oliver & Associates we are able to show prospective clients a portfolio of previous and current architectural design work.
Since the Party Wall Etc. Act 1996 came into force homeowners in England and Wales have to abide by the Act when building work involves a party wall or party fence wall, excavations close to the neighbouring buildings and new walls at boundaries. The Act is designed to avoid or minimise disputes by making sure property owners notify their neighbours in advance of these works.
