The privately owned firm of chartered surveyors and property consultants employs over 220 people.

It offers integrated advice for owners, occupiers, financial institutions, investors and developers of UK property.

Daniel Hardy, head of corporate recovery at Sanderson Weatherall, said: “Sanderson Weatherall LLP already acts on behalf of a significant number of ASTL’s full members.

“It seemed a logical and natural progression that we should become an associate member of [the] ASTL.

•   Annual bridging completions reach £3.98bn
•   New ASTL executive committee to focus on industry training
•   VAS appoints operations and compliance manager for audit arm

“In addition to providing valuation advice to a significant number of ASTL members, we have a very well-established corporate recovery specialism which provides a bespoke service on a national basis to secured lenders in dealing with repossession or eviction, sale as mortgagee, assisted sale, receivership and advisory scenarios.”

Benson Hersch, chief executive of the ASTL (pictured above), added: “The growing diversity of the ASTL’s membership allows us to promote and protect the interests of our members, while making sure the highest standards are achieved.

“Sanderson Weatherall LLP abides by the same values that the ASTL operates by and [its] practical approach, vast experience and depth of knowledge will prove to be a real asset to our members.”
