About us

West One are a totally independent firm of Chartered Building Surveyors with many years experience in all matters surveying across commercial and residential properties.

Independence is at our core, without it we do not believe we could offer the service we do to clients. Independence enables us to put our clients interests first without hidden agendas or needing to juggle the interest and wants of different parties at the same time.

West One commenced trading in April 2011 with the single aim of providing unparalleled professional advice for our clients.

West One is headed by Neil Lofting, a Chartered Building Surveyor with over 30 years of experience.

Having worked with various firms, Neil grew tired of not being able to provide the service that clients deserve:

So West One was born, completely independent and here to service our clients needs, no one else’s.
