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.

Experienced Advice from Iain Skinner

Iain Skinner offers deep expertise across property valuations for tax, pensions, trusts and business purposes, alongside strategic advice on planning permission, land use and development in sensitive landscapes. His work is particularly relevant in and around Horsham, where agricultural land, rural estates, market town property and development sites can bring a varied range of valuation and planning considerations.

Skinner Holden provides rural surveying services throughout West Sussex, including Horsham, Billingshurst, Arundel and Petworth. The wider district combines a busy market town with agricultural land, woodland and rural development sites, creating a varied range of property and planning considerations.

Iain advises private individuals, landowners, charities, trustees, businesses and professional advisers on valuation, planning and longer-term property strategy.

Proven expertise in rural and specialist development

Company Director Iain Skinner BSc (Hons) FRICS, FALA, MAPM qualified as a Chartered Surveyor in 1995.

His career has included estate management, valuations, planning applications and development projects across a wide range of rural property, working with both private and public-sector organisations.

Iain is also a RICS Registered Valuer, and Skinner Holden Property Advisors is regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

For clients around Horsham, this breadth of experience is particularly valuable where property value, development potential and planning constraints overlap.

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.
