Brooker & Co. provide comprehensive professional and commercial
advice to clients throughout the UK, in respect of all types of property
interests. Market expertise, professional knowledge and quality of service
are our trade mark, and we are able to provide a focused, fully integrated
service.
We are flexible in our approach to our client’s requirement, and are equally capable of responding immediately to an urgent consultancy, as we are to planning much longer term projects. Our first priority is to establish a relationship
with you, our customer, and then build on that by first gaining an understanding
and knowledge of your business. Every client is different and has different
objectives, and equally from our point of view, because of the uniqueness
of every client, every client requires a unique solution.
|
| We are keen to meet our client’s objectives in three key areas, and we constantly monitor and measure our own progress to ensure we meet these objectives. We focus on Quality of Product and Service, Time, and Value for Money. We attach great importance to the fundamental requirements of honesty, integrity, and commitment. |
| Our fees are set an extremely competitive level, without compromising quality of advice or service. |
Clients of Brooker & Co. include:-

| Before making any decision to take a building, it should be carefully
examined by a professional Chartered Surveyor, who will detect any serious
defects and wants of repair.
A check will be made on such matters as floor loading, power supplies, security and air conditioning – in short everything relating to the building to ensure that it is entirely suitable for your use. Repair costs can be estimated. Advice can be given on whether the price or rent is appropriate, and whether the property is able to meet complex fire, health and safety regulations. Brooker & Co. can assess the rebuilding cost of your property for insurance purposes and can carry out a valuation for loan or balance sheet purposes. Companies often need valuations for their accounts, and directors should always be aware of the Value of their company’s assets.

Planning and development controls affect how buildings may be built,
used and altered. Most  businesses
do not have the time, inclination or expertise to tackle these complex
rules and regulations, particularly when building up a business. Brooker
& Co. negotiate the maze daily. We can check and apply for planning
permissions, prepare plans to alter or extend premises, negotiate with
local authorities and carry through to appeal where necessary. We also
keep a close eye on new applications made in order to spot plans which
may affect redevelopment potential. For more information on these services
contact our In House town planner Alan J Wright

Buildings are notoriously susceptible to hazards; they can subside, catch
fire, flood, fall down,  disappear
down holes, or even blow away! While they are out of action, so are you,
and even the most successful business can fall apart unless properly insured.
Brooker & Co. are experts in assessing the value of buildings, machinery
and equipment, they contain. If disaster strikes, we are essential to
assess the cost of damage, advise on the claim, and win the best deal
through negotiations with the insurer. When was the last time you had the rebuilding cost of your property
assessed? If it was more than 3 years ago, you are probably under insured. Email us now to arrange a revaluation! |

of capital allowances, will often be important. Finance for expansion
can often be tied to these Assets, once they are given a valuation certificate.
Brooker & Co. can also check the boundary plans for your property
and help resolve boundary disputes, and deal with proceedings under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.
