Why 66/100, and not 100?
The points below are not deducted: they are not yet awarded, for lack of a public source to check them. Payotte neither estimates nor invents any data.
- Local anchoring in Trafford incomplete. The establishment in Trafford is counted (8 points). Missing: pages of the firm's website about Trafford, the number of deals completed in Trafford in the last twelve months, the firm's working languages or speciality. A figure such as the number of deals completed in an area only exists at the firm.
- No checkable distinction found (award, press mention, publication, association). Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
- Regulator stated without an identifier. The firm's website names RICS, without a number you can check yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Which firm does Payotte select as surveyor in Trafford?
Payotte selects Torus Surveyors Ltd as surveyor in Trafford, with a score of 66/100 (partial · below the 70/100 threshold).
Do I have to have a survey?
Not in England and Wales, according to RICS. In Scotland a Home Report must be available.
Is the lender's valuation a survey?
No. RICS says a mortgage valuation is for the lender and does not have the same detail.
How does Payotte choose this firm?
Payotte selects a single firm per trade and per area, scored out of 100 points from public data. The public grid has five criteria: Google reviews (35 points), age of the company (30), checkable regulator or register (15), local anchoring (15) and bonus (5). Companies only, never individuals.
Can a firm pay to be ranked?
No. The ranking is never paid for. No firm can buy its place or its recommendation. Payotte is free, with no advertising and no commission.
How can I check this firm's regulator?
The regulator or register is declared on the firm's website; Payotte does not read the register on your behalf. Check it with the official body: Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), firm search. The company number 12203586 can be checked at Companies House.
What does the score of 66/100 mean?
It is an editorial assessment by Payotte, not an official label. This score is below the 70/100 threshold: the listing is partial, as some data could not be recorded.
