- options to buy/sell
- rent reviews

Oldfield Smith & Co is regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and our Head of Professional Services, Bernard Smith FRICS, is a Registered Valuer with over 25 years’ experience in the industry. Bernard has an outstanding knowledge of local, regional and national transactions and market forces, allowing him to speak with gravitas on a wide variety of valuation matters.
Oldfield Smith & Co can provide formal “red book” valuations for a variety of purposes
All of our formal valuations are compiled in accordance with the current edition of RICS Professional Standards (“the Red Book”) and we carry fully compliant professional indemnity insurance.
Our valuations are always accompanied by a market commentary and supporting advice, so that our clients are able to clearly understand the merits and drawbacks of a particular property and consider the valuation in context. This is backed by years of practical experience and our first hand knowledge of market conditions, so our clients can always be assured that our advice is accurate, informed and up to date.
We are always happy to provide follow up advice and explain in detail any technical terms, so that even if this is your first commercial property transaction, you can be confident that you can will have all the information you need.
Valuation work is normally completed at a fixed cost, agreed with the client in advance, and our charges are some of the most competitive in the market. Contact Bernard Smith to find out more.
