Lamberts Surveyors

What Lamberts Surveyors does

Lamberts Surveyors is an independent firm of Chartered Surveyors founded in 1987 and headquartered in Central London, with a secondary office in Cardiff, Wales. The firm operates across five integrated service divisions: Property Management (residential block and commercial), Valuation (residential, commercial, leasehold enfranchisement, expert witness, and social housing), Building Consultancy (building surveys, CAD, contract administration, dilapidations, planned maintenance, project monitoring, and rebuilding cost assessments), Party Wall Consultancy, and Property Receivership. It serves UK banks and specialist lenders, housing associations, local authorities, property developers, residential management companies, and institutional landlords.

Technically, the firm is a professional services operation rather than a software platform. Its core technology stack comprises CAD (Computer Aided Design) services for measured surveys and lease plans, the Argus Developer appraisal system for residential and commercial development valuations, Circle Capitalisation for portfolio valuations, and bespoke spreadsheet-based cashflow appraisal tools. The firm is ISO 9001 (formerly 9002) accredited and independently audited every nine months. All valuers are RICS Registered Valuers, and the firm holds corporate membership in ARMA, IRPM, NARA, and TPI, with senior staff holding RICS Fellowships and one former ARMA Chairman on the team.

Lamberts generates revenue through fee-based professional services, with quote-based per-instruction pricing and fixed-fee structures for defined services such as lease extensions. Its go-to-market is sales-led B2B, targeting enterprise and institutional clients via direct relationships, supplemented by an SEO-optimized website and department-specific enquiry forms. The firm underwent a management buy-out in March 2016, transferring ownership to the management team led by Managing Director Dave Parkin, with no external institutional investors.
