21st Oct 2026 (9 days ago)A £510,000 valuation, questionable financial assumptions and a deeply disappointing response to serious concerns.<br><br>In March 2019, Fraser Wood (Midlands) Ltd, Chartered Surveyors, valued a commercial business at £510,000 for NatWest, ahead of its purchase by my company.<br><br>I subsequently identified serious concerns about the financial information underlying that valuation.<br><br>First, the VAT discrepancy.<br><br>The valuation suggested that income from guest accommodation was exempt from VAT and therefore excluded from the VAT returns. This was an incorrect statement about the normal VAT treatment of such accommodation.<br><br>The assumption was used to estimate turnover, despite my concerns that the accommodation income was already reflected in the VAT figures. I have repeatedly questioned whether this resulted in turnover being overstated and why such a fundamental discrepancy was not properly investigated.<br><br>The valuation also referred to a separate property business, raising further questions about whether income and expenses attributable to other properties had been correctly distinguished from those of the pub. The valuer did not check or ask any questions.<br><br>Second, the valuation itself.<br><br>An independent professional viability assessment in January 2024 examined the business's historical performance and future commercial prospects.<br><br>The historical accounts showed EBITDA falling from £86,372 in 2016 to just £55,661 in 2018, a decline of approximately 36% before Fraser Wood's valuation.<br><br>The independent assessment estimated fair maintainable operating profit of approximately £33,500 annually, leaving only about £2,750 for the proprietor after illustrative borrowing costs.<br><br>It concluded that the business was no longer commercially viable as a public house.<br><br>Although the later assessment was not a retrospective valuation, it adopted a notional existing-use value of £450,000, compared with Fraser Wood's £510,000 valuation in 2019.<br><br>These findings raise serious questions about the original valuation's financial assumptions, especially given the deterioration in profitability already evident before the purchase.<br><br>Third, the firm's response.<br><br>Rather than providing a substantive reconciliation of the disputed financial information or explaining how its assumptions were verified, Fraser Wood has repeatedly emphasised that NatWest was its client and that it has no obligation to answer my questions or provide its underlying records.<br><br>In correspondence dated 21 October 2026, Stephen Smith MRICS also disputed the grounds for requiring the preservation of relevant records and warned of an application to strike out any court claim and seek costs.<br><br>I find this approach deeply disappointing.<br><br>My experience raises serious questions about the checks undertaken before a substantial commercial valuation was issued and the firm's subsequent willingness to explain its work.<br><br>A valuation is only as reliable as the information and assumptions underpinning it. When those assumptions are challenged with specific documentary evidence, surely a professional explanation is a reasonable expectation?<br><br>After years of correspondence, I remain without satisfactory answers to the central financial questions.<br><br>Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Fraser Wood for commercial property valuation services and I will continue to pursue this injustice which has cost me my life's earnings and likely bankruptcy.
1st Oct 2026 (29 days ago)Thanks Todd for the speedy process for our new house!!<br>Great service and keeping us updated ??????
29th Aug 2026 (9 weeks ago)Very helpful!
23rd May 2026 (23 weeks ago)In my humble opinion my house was fairly easy to sell so didn't take long and got near my asking price. Albeit Lovetts did pretty pretty well at this stage.
24th Oct 2026 (6 days ago)We had had our property up for sale with another local agent and it didn't sell. We changed to D B Roberts on the 23rd September 2026 and had an offer on the 21st October 2026, less than a month!!! They are so efficient, you can get them on the phone when needed which is rare these days. They keep you completely updated of what's going on, you don't have to chase them. We are so delighted that we put the house up for sale with them. I would 100% recommend them.
28th Oct 2026 (2 days ago)Had a great experience so far with Oscar he’s been very helpful and great at answering and questions or queries that I have :) it’s been a pleasure thank you so much Oscar you’ve been fab !!
29th Oct 2026 (1 day ago)I can't praise the team at Shortheath Dixons enough. Hayley and Sally were amazing and they have heard me say this numerous times that it felt like old school selling again. Some estate agents I have had do not even show you the properties anymore and stand at the front door waiting for you to leave. Hayley knew the area and knew the people and then sold the life you could have not just bricks and mortar. Thank you ladies!
7th Oct 2026 (23 days ago)I had a fantastic experience with Belvoir Bloxwich estate agent. After having my property on the market with a different agent, I was delighted when they managed to sell it after just the first viewing! What really stood out was the excellent communication. They have always kept me updated throughout the sale and continue to be incredibly helpful, responsive and professional throughout the process. I’m really pleased with the service I’ve received and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.
15th Jul 2026 (15 weeks ago)No more to tell.- 3rd Apr 2026 (6 mo. ago)I'd just like to thank both Kieran and Logan, for the kind, patient, courteous, and professional way they helped me find, deal with the paper work, and move into my new address. It was a trying time, and I really appreciate the help and guidance you both gave me. Kind regards Andy.

(25 reviews)
30th May 2026 (22 weeks ago)Caley & Kulin have been spot on with valuation, marketing and we sold the property in about 10 days. Communication has been excellent.
22nd Oct 2025 (1 year ago)Useless company. Don't trust what they say
27th Feb 2026 (8 mo. ago)May have been the market conditions but minimal viewings were booked. Many of which were no shows or cancellations on the day. Not the fault of the estate agent, however there was no adjustment to the online profile at any point to refresh the advert. Nothing posted on socials that I’m aware of either.- 29th Oct 2026 (1 day ago)A huge thank you to the team at Belvoir for all their help with our property purchase! From start to finish, the communication was excellent and they kept us updated every step of the way. They made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward. Highly recommended!
3rd Oct 2026 (27 days ago)Very friendly and always communicating

9th Oct 2026 (21 days ago)I honestly cannot thank Laura enough for everything she has done for us throughout the sale of our house.<br><br>After a very long and stressful nine months, Laura has been absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Her knowledge and expertise are second to none, and we always had complete trust that she would do the very best for us.<br><br>Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but she’s also genuinely lovely, approachable and supportive. Throughout every challenge, we felt reassured knowing we were in such capable hands.<br><br>It’s clear that Laura genuinely cares about her clients and takes real pride in what she does. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to guide us through the process and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.<br><br>Thank you so much, Laura, for everything!
