About Us
FRANCIS THOMPSON MRICS, FIQChartered Minerals Surveyor
Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
Fellow of the Institute of Quarrying
Francis Thompson deals with minerals estate management and minerals property transactions throughout the United Kingdom.
In addition, he has experience of waste management where this involves mineral working property or functions.
Typically he deals with:
- valuation of mineral properties;
- appraisal and comment on mineral or waste management properties;
- management of the leasehold interest in active pits and quarries;
- advises and executes medium term planning strategies involving submissions, representations and monitoring of Development Plans.
In line with the client base of FTMINS, Francis Thompson works almost exclusively for private client mineral and landowners but has carried out statute related and professional work for mineral companies and individuals where there is no conflict of interest.
Work of appraisal and valuation is generally for banks and financial institutions for secured lending purposes.
A significant amount of work derives from his relative independence from local influence and benefits of UK-wide practice.
The internet and local government adoption of open access to planning matters has widened the scope and remit of minerals planning work. Careful attention to long term planning strategies must be exercised across a wide variety of mineral property. His work includes an element of minerals project management.
