WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY...

“We have a long-standing relationship with Aitchison Raffety across a range of professional surveying disciplines. They provide high quality services at competitive prices.”
“We required a business appraisal and valuation advice on our educational estate. We contacted the Education Team at Aitchison Raffety for a formal valuation which formed part of the estate and finance strategy, along with the impact on the value following a disposal of surplus land. Aitchison Raffety provided concise and clear advice in a professional manner, which included post valuation reviews. We would not hesitate to recommend them to educational providers requiring property valuation advice.”
“We have been using Aitchison Raffety for the past year to provide education property valuations, their knowledge in the education sector is second to none. Their methodical approach and understanding of the need for a quick turnaround has meant we have the correct information at the right time to move forward with our projects, enabling us to enhance our commercial decisions.
