Pooling Knowledge at Our Professional Department Meeting

Published: 30/05/2024 By A-J Monro

Earlier this week, our professional staff from all corners of the firm gathered for a regular department meeting. These meetings are an excellent way to pool knowledge, enabling experts from residential, commercial, agricultural, and building survey sectors to share news, updates and market trends.

There are numerous scenarios where this synergy between colleagues might come into play, for example:

  • A property owner is considering applying for a change of use for some buildings, our in-house planning experts will advise on current and incoming legislation, whilst our commercial experts can advise on the potential income from various ventures.
  • our valuers can draw on the knowledge of our in-house property reinstatement valuation expert (did you know that 84% of properties are underinsured when it comes to rebuilding costs?)
  •  when discussing rural grants with farming clients, our agents can call on experts who will have digested every detail of the various options available.
  • our Building Surveying experts can guide clients through every step from the initial design, to planning submission, deal with the subsequent building regulations application and manage the build from start to finish.
As a firm, we are in the fortunate position of having a very high number of experts in all property sectors. Within that resource, we have dedicated specialists in areas such as planning, reinstatement valuations, SFI and woodland, all on hand to work with our agents to ensure that our clients receive up-to-the-minute advice at all times and at every step of their property journey.

All of our clients benefit from this high level of advice, so if you are contemplating the restructuring, development of management of your property, please do get in touch with colleagues in your nearest Symonds & Sampson Office.
