The Property Auction - Before You Bid, Ultimate Edition
BSc (Hons), MCIOB, MIET, ACABE, GMICE
I am a Senior Structural Engineer and Chartered Construction Manager with over 20 years of experience in the construction industry, including the last 12 years focused specifically on the UK residential market. Throughout my career, I have conducted over 220 structural surveys and inspections, advising buyers, owners, and developers on the integrity of their properties.
Buying a home is the largest financial decision most people will ever make, yet it is often made on emotion rather than data. I created these guides to bridge the gap between "falling in love" with a house and actually understanding the structure you are buying.
My work focuses on the properties that first-time buyers actually look at: the Victorian terraces, the 1930s semis, and the "recently flipped" houses where fresh paint often hides significant structural secrets.
I am a member of several leading professional bodies, ensuring that my advice is grounded in industry standards and technical excellence:
Beyond these guides, I run Auxilium Structural Engineering, providing high-value services to help you navigate your purchase with confidence:
I believe that any defect can be priced, but the defects to fear are the ones you don't know about. My goal is to give you the "Structural Eye" needed to buy safely, negotiate fairly, and walk away when the risk is too high.
Buy with the confidence of an engineer. Protect your future home today.
