Subject to Survey cover


This is the story of an East End Glasgow boy with musical aspirations, DJ, singer-songwriter and wanna be nightclub owner.
With his Dad's encouragement, "That boy's heed is full of broken biscuits", and his girlfriend's support; "If you get a degree, I'll eat my hat", reality sets in and an unplanned career in property literally opens thousands of doors.
The evolution of the property Surveyor from school to college, training to qualification and the making of a renowned London practice.
A colourful and hilarious account of people and property encounters.
Some famous, some infamous.
