I am hearing that it can be very difficult to retire without selling on your business if you have a one surveyor practice. For example ceasing trading and winding up a limited liability company yet still having liability to clients and RICS requirements for run off cover. Looking at the age of many of the people in the conference room over the years I expect there are many who have similar questions. If there are members who are going through the process or have recently gone through the process, a presentation about the pitfalls and general experience would be much appreciated.
I haven’t bothered. I had a chat with them and said if they can provide me with Building Control data for addresses in Buckinghamshire I would be interested. So far, they only appear to have access to the usual public access data and my local authority doesn’t make this data public. The client will get more from the searches undertaken by their solicitor in my opinion. (BTW I suggested you as a more local surveyor for an ex-colleague of my son’s yesterday, buying near Market Harborough)
Our practice has done the same as Neil Bright for the same reason. Have no experience of how understanding of survey disputes the CEDR is but have read on other forums that their understanding ‘needs improvement’ (polite version).
