Business description

A rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, RICS-regulated residential surveying practice operating across London and the surrounding Home Counties. Trading for close to a decade, the business has built a market-leading reputation, evidenced by strong client reviews.

The practice directly employs an experienced team of qualified surveyors and has a dedicated head of new business overseeing the full sales and client-management process. Income is well diversified, with around 40% generated through long-standing professional referral relationships (estate agents, solicitors and mortgage brokers) and the balance from repeat clients, word of mouth and organic online channels, so there is no reliance on any single customer.

Turnover reached c. £907,000 at its peak (FY2024) and c. £861,000 in FY2025, with adjusted EBITDA of c. £208,000 and gross margins in excess of 90%. Owner involvement is limited and both shareholders will support a structured handover. The business is debt-free and cash-generative.

Highlights

  • Nearly ten years’ trading history as an RICS-regulated practice with an excellent compliance and quality record.
  • Market-leading online reputation.
  • Diversified income: c. 40% from long-standing professional referrers (estate agents, solicitors, mortgage brokers) and c. 60% from organic and repeat sources. No single-customer concentration.
  • Directly-employed, RICS-qualified surveying team plus a dedicated head of new business managing the full sales and client-management function.
  • Rising average fee (c. £710 to c. £837), gross margins over 90%, low owner- dependency and a debt-free, cash-generative balance sheet.
