I’ve used Skinner Holden property services a number of times now and have to say the service has always been fantastic. They take the stress out of the whole exercise, by having extremely knowledgeable consultants who kept me completely informed and up to date throughout the whole process. Importantly, the end result was perfect. Detailed, professional and exactly what was required for us. Would thoroughly recommend.

Iain recently performed a land valuation for me and I found him to be professional, courteous and incredibly knowledgeable.

The valuation he provided, apart from being reasonably priced, went way over and above any I’d seen previously. It was extremely detailed and covered items and areas that provided exceptional added value. I very much look forward to working with Iain and Skinner Holden again in the future.

At Alice Holt Forest Iain worked closely with Forestry England and the Alice Holt Forest visitor team to explore options for new visitor facilities and create a detailed plan for the future. He then lead on the successful planning application, co-ordinating specialist reports and writing many of the reports and studies himself.
