Greenholme Surveying Ltd may be small – but it is mighty. The company has cemented its position ahead of a lot of other surveying practices within the industry, thanks to the extensive experience gained by Luke Dowling while operating the now dissolved Greenholme Developments Ltd. Today, Greenholme Surveying serves mainly those who are purchasing residential properties in Burley-in-Wharfedale, Leeds, Harrogate, and parts of Bradford. These clients benefit from services including RICS Level 2 Home Surveys, RICS Level 3 Building Surveys, and RICS Valuations. “The focus each day is on the property at hand and serving the client who has commissioned the survey,” explains Luke. “However, any previous client who contacts me will also have my time for answering questions and offering advice. Each client can contact me as many times as they like and at any period of time from the inspection date. This attention to each client promotes good relationships, and many clients have already returned when they have had sales fall through and then found other properties.” He continues, “The long-term goal would be to carry out this level of service on a larger scale with more surveyors. This would ideally be local where I have already built relationships with local estate agents.” “The client receives a personal service from myself, as I am the only surveyor. From the first moment of contact, they can speak with myself and I will answer any questions post inspection as well as in the future. I have clients that come back with questions months after the survey and I will be happy speak with them over the phone.” Giving Greenholme Surveying a further advantage within the sector is its focus on sustainability, planting a tree for every client and including an energy report of the property in any Level 2 or 3 survey. This is in addition to the company car being an electric vehicle. Indeed, Luke is committed to doing everything it takes to stay ahead within the industry, also noting AI as an up-and-coming trend. “It [AI] will likely improve reporting timescales and therefore the time taken to inspect a property may decrease,” he projects. “If this is the case, the cost of surveys may be pushed down and any surveyor carrying out surveys in a more traditional way may struggle to sell this to clients. “I constantly monitor any news around AI in surveying and will be open to including this in my company when it is more established.” Ultimately, it is easy to see how Greenholme Surveying Ltd has come to achieve success within the UK Enterprise Awards 2026, having proved itself a truly exceptional business in a long list of ways. Now, we’re keen to find out what’s next for the firm. Luke reveals, “I am looking to fund a qualification for another surveyor within the company. There are no specific plans for 2026 and they won’t be qualified until late 2027. The aim is to increase the workload ready for supporting two of us. “However, I would like to take a step back from surveying full-time to potentially focus more on growing the company.” For more information about Greenholme Surveying Ltd, visit the company website, call 01943 661470, or email luke.dowling@ greenholme-surveying.co.uk.
