On-site RICS rebuild cost assessments for London offices, retail, industrial and mixed-use buildings, from single sites to large portfolios. Desktop surveys are available for commercial property anywhere in the UK.
On-site surveys for London commercial property
Our surveyors inspect London commercial buildings in person. Restricted access, neighbouring buildings, party wall matters, conservation areas and the higher cost of building in the capital all affect the rebuild figure, and they are easy to miss without a site visit.

Why it matters for businesses
If a commercial building is under-insured, the average clause can reduce any claim in proportion, leaving the business to cover the shortfall. Rebuilding to current building regulations, with demolition and professional fees, often costs more than owners expect.

Commercial property FAQs
Common questions about commercial rebuild cost assessments.

We include fit-out that forms part of the building you insure. Where tenants insure their own improvements, we can leave them out so the same work is not insured twice.
We include VAT where it applies. If your business can recover VAT, your broker may advise insuring without it, and we can show the figure both ways.
Yes, with a desktop survey. We assess commercial property anywhere in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland from drawings, measurements and photographs.
It depends on the size and number of buildings. We agree a timetable at the start and work to your insurance renewal date where we can.
