Rent Review Surveyor for Tenants
This practice acts for occupiers only. No landlord instructions, no agency side of the desk, no conflict to manage. That matters at review, because the comparable evidence a landlord's surveyor chooses to disclose is rarely the whole picture.
Why tenant-side only
Surveyors who act for both sides must ration what they say. Acting exclusively for tenants means the analysis, the settlement records and the argument all point one way: keeping your occupancy cost proportionate to what the unit can actually trade.
What you get
An initial view on whether the review is worth fighting — some are not — then, where it is, full conduct of the review from evidence gathering to settlement or third-party determination.
- Free initial appraisal of the review clause and likely outcome
- Zoned valuation and devalued comparable schedule
- Written negotiation with the landlord's surveyor
- Arbitration or independent expert representation where needed
Common questions
- What does a tenant's rent review surveyor cost?
- Initial advice is free. Fees for conducting a review are agreed in advance and are proportionate to the rent at stake — for most single units the fee is recovered many times over by the settlement.
- Do you act for landlords?
- No. The practice is tenant-side only, which removes any conflict of interest.
