Chartered Surveyors, Architectural Technicians, Property Managers, Developers and Certified Drone Pilots, giving clear, commercially astute advice on building surveying, legal and regulatory, and design and development matters.
We explain the condition of a building, what it means for you, and what to do next, in plain language.
Lansdown Associates is a RICS regulated building consultancy with offices in Liverpool, Manchester and London. We bring together Chartered Surveyors, Architectural Technicians, Property Managers, Developers and Certified Drone Pilots to give clear, commercially astute advice on building surveying, legal and regulatory, and design and development matters.
Lansdown Associates was incorporated in 2018. We are a modern, progressive consultancy that works for homeowners, landlords, tenants, investors, solicitors and public bodies. Some clients come to us before they buy a home; others need a report that will be relied on in a lease negotiation, an insurance matter or a court claim.
Because our team covers several property disciplines, we can look at a building from more than one angle.
Our RICS Chartered (Building) Surveyors carry out inspections, diagnose defects and write the reports, from home surveys to dilapidations schedules and expert witness reports.
Architectural technicians bring design and construction detail knowledge, which helps when advising on remedial work, alterations and development projects.
Our property management experience means we understand how buildings are run, maintained and budgeted for, which shapes practical advice on repairs and planned maintenance.
First-hand development experience helps us advise buyers, investors and developers on the commercial side of a property decision, not only its condition.
Our certified drone pilots give us a safe way to view and record parts of a building that are difficult to reach. We offer a full range of drone services, including:
