Beautifully naïve thoughts

Originally the company was set up with some beautifully naive aims - these being that if we offered the best surveys we would make a good honest living (to view our first website...click here)

Big Business

However we soon discovered that all is not as it seems in the property world - property is very big business and the lending of money to finance the property is equally big business.  This has lead some of the biggest companies, shall we say 'protecting their interests' (we have to be careful what we say because one of the very big companies have tried to take us to court for our comments previously - maybe they don't like people to know)!

We have the “interesting” situation that the Estate Agent can be owned or own the Chartered Surveyors and in turn all be owned by the Lenders - or we are probably safer (from the being sued point of view) to say they have close links with...

So this means the Estate Agent can recommend the Chartered Surveyors and Mortgage lenders - all owned ultimately by the same company.

Sometimes the Lender may give you the "choice" of companies on their panel. These companies usually/often has reciprocal agreements with the recommending company - they make it very difficult to use anyone outside this group - just try asking.
