Blakes is a firm of Chartered Surveyors and RICS Registered Valuers based in Raynes Park, south-west London, advising leaseholders, freeholders and their professional advisers since 2013.
Our work divides broadly into three strands. Leasehold reform — lease extensions and freehold purchase — is our core specialism, and we have handled over 20,000 lease renewals. Formal valuation covers Red Book reports for probate, inheritance tax, capital gains tax, matrimonial proceedings and insurance. Surveys and consultancy cover pre-purchase surveys for buyers and acquisition, disposal and development advice for investors.
We act for private clients directly, and for the solicitors, executors, accountants and financial institutions who instruct us on their clients’ behalf — and for leaseholders and freeholders alike, subject to conflict checks. Fees are fixed and agreed in writing before instruction.
