Silverstone wins nationwide contract surveying student accommodation

A private student accommodation provider has appointed Silverstone Building Consultancy to carryout pre-acquisition building surveys on an extensive portfolio of student properties located across the UK.

The portfolio includes a mix of purpose-built and converted student blocks, as well as HMO’s, in the heavily student populated cities of Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Liverpool, Manchester and York.

Nine surveyors from Silverstone have worked on the major contract so far - with a further 15 surveysplanned to be completed this autumn on properties in Bristol, Liverpool and York.

The surveys evaluate current condition, identify any significant issues and likely costs required for remedial works, as well as providing reinstatement cost assessments (RCAs) for insurance purposes.  

Senior building surveyor at Silverstone Building Consultancy, Ross Haggie, said: “It’s a great contract to work on and has been a real team effort so far – involving surveyors based at all of our three offices in London, Leeds and Newcastle. The client is benefitting from consistent surveys across their portfolio which will prove incredibly valuable.”

Silverstone Building Consultancy is a firm of chartered building surveyors and project managers with offices in Leeds, Newcastle and London.
