Allied Surveyors Scotland PLC

What Allied Surveyors Scotland PLC does

Allied Surveyors Scotland PLC is a privately held Scottish chartered surveying firm incorporated in 1998 and headquartered in Glasgow, operating through a network of 30 offices covering almost every Scottish postcode — from Aberdeen and Inverness in the north to Dumfries and the Borders in the south. The firm employs 80+ surveyors organised across three service lines: Residential Property Services (Home Reports, RICS Home Surveys, Mortgage Valuation Reports, Energy Reports), Commercial Property Services (commercial property search, agency, valuation, investment advice, landlord and tenant, business rates and appeals, energy reports, land and development, property management), and Building Consultancy (building surveying, quantity surveying, project management). Its customers include private residential buyers and sellers, commercial investors and occupiers, public and community bodies, and major lending institutions that rely on its RICS-registered valuations. All surveyors are regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the firm subscribes to the RICS Clients Money Protection Scheme.

The business operates as a fee-for-service professional services firm, generating revenue through one-time professional fees on valuation and survey engagements, commissions on commercial agency mandates, and recurring mandates on commercial property management accounts. Distribution is built around the physical office network — each office staffed by locally qualified surveyors embedded in regional property markets — supplemented by a website with a commercial property search portal, online Home Report quotation forms, and a News & Insights blog. The firm is RICS-regulated, GDPR-compliant, holds NQA ISO certification (certificate number 13313), and operates under a Modern Slavery Act 2015 statement. In December 2025 the firm became the first UK surveying firm to adopt OS Capture's digital capture and workflow technology, rolling it out across the 30-office network via a four-week phased deployment led by Kevin Keane (Director of Operations) and Claudia Miquel (Head of Product at OS Capture). The firm has no parent company, no private equity backing, no institutional investors, and no subsidiaries disclosed in available materials.
