Although the majority of survey work undertaken by Lea Hough Chartered Surveyors is based across Lancashire, South Cumbria and Greater Manchester, our team has recently seen a noticeable increase in property inspections being commissioned further afield across England.
Much of this work has been instructed by our retained clients, who continue to place their trust in Lea Hough to deliver professional, reliable advice – even when the properties in question are located well beyond our traditional North West catchment area. Rather than appointing local surveyors, these clients have chosen to maintain their working relationships with us, recognising the value of our consistency, technical expertise and understanding of their property portfolios.

Whilst Lea Hough Chartered Surveyors do not actively seek new instructions outside of our North West base, the breadth of these recent examples highlights the strength of our client relationships and the trust placed in our team.
Our retained clients consistently choose to work with Lea Hough across the length and breadth of the UK, confident in the quality, diligence and professionalism of the service we provide, wherever their property interests may be located.
