Trevor Walker & Audrey Rhodes
“I feel indebted to Cameron Butler for his invaluable guidance and support throughout the whole process. Cameron was indispensable as our link with the Environment Agency from the outset. His skills at interacting with the E. A. to quickly address and resolve our concerns as they arose was crucial to us during the invasive disruption to our lives. The successful outcome resulted in achieving a very fair and satisfactory offer of compensation to each of us individually.”
Sylvia & Alex Rimmington
“Cameron Butler dealt with all phases of a recent deal in a prompt, courteous and highly professional manner. FHP's local knowledge was invaluable to us and their turnaround time was exceptional. Cameron Butler was personally involved in the process throughout and his guidance assisted us greatly in subsequent negotiations with our Client. Thank you FHP for a job well done.”
Trevor Colbourneat – HSBC
“Following a recommendation from our Accountants we approached FHP who talked us through the process, provided us with a clear understanding of what we needed and explained how they could help us. The valuation process went extremely smoothly, and was carried out expertly by Cameron Butler. The report and paper work we received was exactly what we required for our accounts.”
James Fendek – School Business Manager – Aldridge School – A Science College
“As a recently converted Academy Trust, we required a firm to provide a factual valuation for the balance sheet and reinstatement values for insurance purposes. At the outset Cameron provided a professional and informed service. The actual visit to inspect the Trust’s three school sites was non-intrusive and carried out with the schools full of students and staff on site. Post visit, Cameron checked a number of points to ensure the factual correctness of the final product and kept us informed of the progress of the report up to its final production. I would like to thank Cameron for all his support and making another requirement of Academy conversion seem uncomplicated and reducing my stress levels.”
Mike Powell – Head of Educational Support – The White Hills Park Federation Trust
“We would like to thank Cameron Butler for his invaluable work, advice and expertise during the compulsory purchase of our home and family butchers business. Recommended by our accountant, Cameron was outstandingly professional and, despite numerous challenges from the County Council, remained resolute during the long and technical negotiations. Without his dedication it would have been almost impossible to have undertaken these negotiations and continue to run our business. The efforts of Cameron minimised the stress of this process, for which we and our family will be forever grateful. We would have no hesitation in recommending FHP to people in the future, as would our accountant and solicitor.”

“As the School Business Manager at The Hills Academy I would like to thank you for providing me with a competitive quotation and an exceptionally prompt visit to our premises to conduct the survey. To receive the report within a week was more than we could have hoped for. Thank you for a very professional service.”
Sarah Dickson – School Business Manager – The Hills Academy, Bedford
“A big 'thank you' to Cameron Butler, for preparing the valuation of our land and buildings for our year-end accounts (our first as an Academy). He was more than willing to come out at the end of the school day, when pupils were off-site so that he could get around the site much more easily, and was very approachable and friendly but professional. He was aware that we were working to a tight time-scale and produced the report and valuation very promptly. I would certainly recommend him to other newly converted academies”
Julie Dimaline – Business Manager – Old Basford School, Nottingham
“I cannot praise highly enough the work of Cameron Butler and FHP Property Consultants. The School has recently converted to Academy status and Cameron's assistance helped ensure the transition went quickly and smoothly. Cameron carried out a valuation survey at short notice and fortunately for us, his professional and efficient work ethic meant that the School received the appraisal within three days - a valiant effort that was greatly appreciated. A big thank you to FHP and Cameron for all your help.
”
Jason McGuinness – Facilities Manager – Burnage Media Arts College, Manchester
“Cameron Butler at FHP Property Consultants was recommended to me by a colleague in another local Academy. We required a depreciated replacement cost land and buildings valuation for our year end accounts at short notice. Cameron responded quickly and was able to provide the fast turn around required. Cameron understood exactly what was required and returned a high quality report on time. We have subsequently engaged Cameron again for the land and buildings valuation at a further school joining the Multi Academy Trust and again received a professional, prompt and first class service. I have no doubt as the Trust grows we will be commissioning Cameron again!”
Rachel Bailye – Chief Finance Officer – Staffordshire University Academies Trust
“FHP Property Consultants were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. We used FHP Property Consultants to produce the Land and Building Valuations for all 7 schools within our Academy Trust. Through close liaison with the team we arranged all the site visits to be carried out in the school holidays or on inset days which minimised any disruption to the schools. The documents produced were of an exceptional quality and were produced and received in school in a very timely manner. The team were a pleasure to deal with and I would definitely recommend using FHP Property Consultants to any Academy needing a Land & Building Valuation.”
Chris Harris – Executive Finance Manager – DS Academy Trust
“I engaged Cameron Butler at FHP to conduct site valuations for schools joining Transform Trust. In 2016/7, 5 schools were surveyed and valuations obtained. In 2017/8, 2 further schools were surveyed and valued. In every case Cameron Butler attended the school and conducted the survey. He was flexible with the dates to accommodate each school and in all 7 cases, local school staff commented on the professionalism and courtesy of the surveyor.
At Trust Centre I received the completed reports within a week of the final survey being conducted, and these reports were used in the final audit evaluations without question.
Transform Trust had used other firms of surveyors previously. In our view, Cameron and FHP offer the balance of professional competence, speed of delivery and value for money.”
Steve Cox, Transform Trust
“As the School Business Manager at The Hills Academy I would like to thank you for providing me with a competitive quotation and an exceptionally prompt visit to our premises to conduct the survey. To receive the report within a week was more than we could have hoped for. Thank you for a very professional service.”
Sarah Dickson, School Business Manager, The Hills Academy, Bedford, speaking about Cameron Butler
“We were a Multi School Academy Trust which includes 5 primary schools in Northampton. We were informed by our accountants that each school would need a Building & Land valuation to be included in our balance sheet for our first set of accounts. We were approached by several companies for the Land & Buildings valuation and the decision to use FHP was very easy due to their level of professionalism, flexibility, attention to detail and price. The process couldn’t have gone any smoother or efficiently and the paperwork was exactly as required by our accountants. I would have no hesitation in recommending FHP to any converted Academies requiring this service.”
Annie Sly – School Business Manager at Northampton Primary Multi-Academy Trust
