The experience of estate agency and property valuation with architecture, and building surveying combines to provide a trusted team. BMS can give you the advice you need at the right time.

Buchanan Mitchell Stephenson provides a full range of property related advice from commencement to completion. This involvement with clients can begin with a pre purchase building survey including valuation, then provide full architectural drawings for refurbishment and extension work, with the added information of estimated building work costings and valuation.

Our client’s need to know the answers to a great number of questions, however the most significant revolves around costings, budget and valuation. We can offer the advice of what potential work could be carried out, the estimated cost of the project and provide an opinion of the estimated end value following completion of the work. This initial advice provides clients the information to make informed decisions without having to deal with several other professionals.
