Few regions pack as much variety into their commercial buildings as Greater Manchester, and that's exactly why a one-size survey approach falls short here. Spinningfields and the wider city centre hold a concentration of Grade A office towers alongside converted Victorian warehouses, MediaCityUK in Salford has built an entirely new commercial district around broadcast and digital tenants, and Bolton and Oldham's former textile mills now do duty as offices, studios, and light industrial space. Stockport adds its own town centre stock into the mix, shaped by an ongoing wave of regeneration.
Our RICS-registered surveyors work from Manchester and Stockport, supporting property owners, investors, occupiers, lenders, and insolvency practitioners across Greater Manchester. The wider firm carries 180 years of experience in commercial property.

A thorough assessment of a commercial property's condition, identifying structural defects, maintenance requirements, and potential liabilities. We inspect accessible elements of the building and provide a detailed report to support your purchase, lease, or investment decision.
Dilapidations are the repair and reinstatement obligations that arise under a commercial lease. Whether you are a landlord preparing a schedule of dilapidations or a tenant seeking to understand your liability at lease end, we assess the position clearly and negotiate on your behalf where required.
A schedule of condition records the precise state of a property at a specific point in time, most commonly at the start of a lease. The document limits a tenant's repair liability to no worse than the condition recorded, providing important protection throughout the lease term.
A measured survey produces accurate floor plans, elevations, and sections of a building for use in design, development, or asset management. Our surveyors capture detailed spatial data on site, delivering drawings to the specification and scale your project requires.
Whether the property sits in Manchester, Salford, Bolton, Stockport, or Oldham, our surveyors are equipped to cover the full range of commercial stock found across it:
Manchester city centre and Salford's MediaCityUK possess most of the region's office stock, spanning new-build towers, converted mills, and campus-style media buildings. Fire compartmentation that hasn't been updated to match a converted building's current layout, and mechanical and electrical systems reaching the end of their working life, are among the issues that surface most in this market. Knowing where you stand before signing a lease or completing a purchase avoids costly surprises later.
Town centre retail in Bolton, Stockport, and Oldham sits within buildings that have been altered repeatedly as occupiers have come and gone, while Manchester's retail core mixes newer developments with older parades. Water ingress, shopfront alterations carried out without proper sign-off, and structural movement in older terraces are common findings. That detail shapes how a schedule of condition or dilapidations claim gets negotiated between landlord and tenant.
Bolton's proximity to the M61 and Oldham's stock of converted mill and industrial buildings support a large share of Greater Manchester's industrial and logistics occupiers, while Salford Quays adds newer distribution space into the mix. Roof coverings past their intended lifespan, cladding in need of assessment, and floor loading capacity are the areas our surveyors prioritise before a client commits to a purchase or lease.
An investment portfolio spread across Manchester, Salford, Bolton, Stockport, and Oldham is unlikely to have been built to one specification, and that mix of ages and construction types is precisely where risk hides unevenly. Surveying every asset in a portfolio to the same standard is what brings that risk into view before it affects a transaction.

Greater Manchester's commercial buildings range from brand-new office towers to converted textile mills a hundred years older, often within a few miles of each other, and a survey has to be built around the individual property rather than an assumption about the area it’s located in.
