Thank you for visiting our site. Alongside the normal audit and accounting services you would expect from an Accountant we have a specialist department handling the merger and acquisition of Surveyor Practices, Architect Practices, Property Management, Lettings, Consulting Engineers and other property related businesses for sale.

Unlike most business transfer agents who sell all types of businesses, we are specialists in the property based sector. Chegwidden & Co has a successful track record of selling businesses ranging from Sole Practitioners to multi-million pound/euro deals both in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. We are now able, because of our specialist knowledge, to handle transactions in other parts of the world. We are in regular contact with a number of buyers in our specialist sectors.

Our specialist knowledge and understanding of the property sector means we can bring added value to the usual accountancy services we can provide to your business. We would be pleased to discuss your requirements and provide a competitive fixed price fee quotation.

As well as business transfer, we can also provide assistance and advice relating to business valuation, acquisitions, due diligence or company merger.

We set out below details of our service sectors.

Practice Sales - Surveyors
Mike Harris FCCA has many years experience of the surveyor market after successfullycompleting a small Practice sale on behalf of a client in 2000 and many more since then. Paul Beason FRICS set up and ran his own surveying practice before selling in 2001 (This was sold by Mike Harris). Our database of acquirers planning to buy a Surveyor practice has grown over the years and Mike and Paul are in close contact with many of them. If you are planning to sell a Surveyor practice or have a Surveyor practice for sale then Mike or Paul would be pleased to hear from you.

Practice Sales - Architects
This service was introduced in 2004 as a result of the Surveyor merger & acquisition appointments. Many Surveyors are now building multi-disciplinary practices and frequently asked if we had an any Architects for sale. We have been developing an active database of buyers, both of Surveyors and Architects, to help speed up the process for you to buy an Architect practice or sell an Architect practice.

Property Lettings and Management Companies
We now deal with property management companies in both the commercial and residential sectors (lettings and block management). Paul Beason has experience as a property manager. We have an increasing database of companies actively looking to acquire businesses of this type, especially ARLA and ARMA member companies. You may also be an NAEA member looking to dispose of your property management portfolio.

Consulting Engineers
The rise of large multi-disciplinary companies in the property sector has led to enquiries for engineering based activities and as a result we now deal with consulting engineers.

Environmental Consultancies
The growth in environmental consultancy continues year on year. Many large multi-disciplinary practices now see this as an important part of their services to clients. The work of these consultancies is linked with the needs of both public and private sectors in the provision of all types of new development and infrastructure, risk assessment and management, and sustainability. This market has seen increasing merger and acquisition activity recently and its strong connections to our existing areas of expertise make it a natural progression of our services.

Other Property Based Companies
As specialists in the property sector we are now able to assist all owners of property and construction based companies planning to sell. Mike Harris has experience of selling a construction company to a listed PLC.
