Andrew Dixon & Co review

On the evidence, yes for commercial briefs: agency, management, rent reviews and valuations from Telford and Cannock offices, an RICS register listing, and a company record stretching back two decades. No public reviews are on record. Homebuyers needing a house survey should look to a residential practice. The searchable database shows the current commercial stock.

Yes. The firm holds an RICS register listing for its Telford office, checked this September. Its site describes itself as an independent firm of chartered surveyors whose valuers belong to RICS. The valuers' membership sits behind the valuation work. Check the register listing against the name on the instruction letter.

It publishes no professional fees, rates or VAT position; the site describes rent collection, service charges and lease work without prices. Commercial fees turn on the brief, so the written terms do the talking. Send the asset type and lease position with the first enquiry. Ask for the fee basis, the VAT position and the scope before instructing.

The firm works from Grosvenor House in Telford with a second office in Cannock, and publishes a Telford office phone number with a contact form. Its searchable property database covers commercial, retail and industrial stock. Investors outside Telford can start with the database search. Send the property details to confirm it handles the asset type.

It ranks eighth of the ten surveyors in our September round, chosen for commercial agency and management rather than home surveys. No public reviews are on record, so read the company record and the register listing instead. Rank here reflects commercial spread rather than homebuyer fit. Read the full review, then confirm the fee basis.

Phone the Telford office or use the contact form, describing the asset type, the lease position and the work wanted. Commercial fees turn on that brief, so expect a tailored fee basis. Expect the fee basis to reflect the asset and the lease. Get the fee basis, the VAT position and the scope agreed before instructing.

Nothing in public: no reviews are on record, so our review rests on the commercial spread and the long company record. The searchable property database and the two staffed offices show a working agency on the ground. Judge the team on the first exchange rather than on ratings alone, since silence proves nothing.
