We are seeking a skilled and motivated Capital Allowances Surveyor to join CPRA’s expanding Capital Allowances division. Our team provides high-quality, survey-led advice to clients across the UK, specialising in Plant & Machinery allowances, Structures & Buildings Allowances (SBA), and detailed site-survey assessments.
CPRA’s approach is rooted in technical accuracy, ethical practice and evidence-led reporting.

- Prepare comprehensive capital allowances claim reports with high levels of technical accuracy.
- Analyse construction costs, property acquisition details, and historic expenditure.
- Liaise with clients, accountants, and legal representatives to obtain required documentation.
- Provide clear valuation and apportionment evidence to support each claim.
- Maintain organised case files and ensure full auditability and compliance.
- Support senior surveyors and directors on large or complex national portfolios.
- Uphold CPRA’s ethical, independent and evidence-driven standards at all times.
