Building Surveys
IJF's people have been undertaking building surveys for over thirty years and are highly
experienced in every possible property sector, every possible building type and every
possible survey type. We provide every possible survey type from the diagnosis of defects
such as damp, mould, cracks; through to full building condition surveys; pre-acquisition
surveys; heritage surveys of historic buildings; measured surveys; compliance (fire, energy,
water) surveys. See our Services page.
Dilapidations
Our professional services’ team provide all aspects of dilapidations' services ranging from a
simple schedule of condition for attachment to a lease, through to complex disputes. We act
on behalf of both landlords and tenants. Each case is unique and we ensure that the service
and advice of our chartered professionals reflects this. See our Services page.
Domestic Homeowners
Within the Domestic Sector we undertake a fully comprehensive design and contract
administration service from a small house extension, through to major refurbishment and
remodeling. Or you may have a dispute with an existing or recently completed project and
are seeking advice from an expert. See our Services page.
Drone Surveys
Our property experts are licensed to undertake drone surveys, providing safe and efficient
access to inspect roofs and other hard to reach high level areas. As a property owner or
manager, you can’t afford to risk to skip inspecting that isolated area that may well come
back and bite you with huge consequential and unexpected damage costs. See our
Services page.

2030 target for EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating band C for housing and band B

Party Wall and Neighbourly Disputes
The Party Wall etc Act 1996 confers certain rights and obligations on owners for work to
party walls; to excavations close to structures; and to construction on boundaries. Our
appointed chartered building surveyors are duty bound to take a practical and impartial view
within the framework of the Act. The rights of all parties involved will be protected, by
ensuring the works are carried out in a manner that satisfies the Act. Protect yourself by
appointing us. See our Services page.
Projects
Following the RIBA Stages of Work, our multidisciplined project team will take you from the
initial feasibility report, through detailed design, contract administration and project
completion and handover. Full construction health and safety (CDM) advice will be provided
throughout. See our Services page.
WE CREATE AND MAINTAIN PEOPLE RELATIONSHIPS
Much or our work is high level strategic asset management consultancy, acting as the single lead sub-consultant to large organisations that require property surveys and reporting at huge stock level, typically housing and municipal. The large consultants and organisations above us in the procurement chain take comfort in allowing us to take the lead in the survey preparation; data design, collection and management; progress reporting; and final reporting and presentation. We pride ourselves as being similar to emergency service teams as we are never off duty.
