=========================================================================\n     Alexander Lyons Surveyors \u2014 partner article\n     Supplied title: \"The Chartered Surveyor You Recommend Can Influence Whether\n     a Sale Completes Smoothly - or Not.\"\n\n     PASTE: Elementor HTML block, BELOW the existing WP header + featured image.\n     Self-contained: scoped CSS (#al-art namespace) + content. No external deps\n     except Google Fonts (already used site-wide). The WP page owns the H1.\n\n     COPY IS VERBATIM\n     ----------------\n     Every sentence, heading and testimonial below is exactly as supplied in\n     \"Alexander Lyons Guest Blog - words.docx\", including their punctuation and\n     capitalisation. Nothing has been written, summarised or reworded for them.\n     The only LonRes-authored text on the page is the sponsor disclosure line,\n     the \"Partner Insight\" eyebrow, the byline, the section labels (The\n     Checklist \/ Mix And Mingle \/ Testimonials From Our Clients \/ Work With Us)\n     \u2014 the same furniture every partner article carries \u2014 and the two sentences\n     in the navy contact band at the foot:\n       \"We appreciate your referrals and we offer a reward scheme.\"\n       \"If you have a client who needs a survey or a valuation, the team at\n        Alexander Lyons Surveyors will deal with the enquiry directly and keep\n        you informed while the transaction is live.\"\n     Both were added on Michael's instruction, not supplied by the partner, so\n     they need Jessica's nod before publish. The second one also says \"the team\n     at Alexander Lyons Surveyors\" where the first says \"we\" \u2014 switch it to \"we\n     will deal with the enquiry directly\" if you want the person to match.\n\n     THREE SPOTS WHERE THE SUPPLIED TEXT HAS A TYPO \u2014 reproduced as sent\n     -------------------------------------------------------------------\n     1. KP Wimbledon: \"...prompt and responsive.John Hutton...\" (missing space)\n     2. KP Wimbledon: \"...throughout.I wouldn't hesitate...\" (missing space)\n     3. Five of the six checklist items use a spaced hyphen ( - ) as a dash\n        while the sixth uses an en dash ( \u2013 ). Nik D's testimonial also uses a\n        hyphen. House style is a spaced en dash held consistently.\n     Left as sent because the copy is running verbatim. One find-and-replace\n     fixes all of it if you'd rather it read clean, or Jessica can confirm.\n\n     SEO \u2014 final values\n     ------------------\n     WP title \/ H1   The Chartered Surveyor You Recommend Can Influence Whether\n                     a Sale Completes Smoothly - with Alexander Lyons        (107)\n     SEO title       Choosing a Chartered Surveyor to Recommend - LonRes      (51)\n                     (Rank Math field. House pattern is \"- LonRes\", a hyphen,\n                     not a pipe. Checked against four live partner articles.)\n     Meta desc       What to look for before you recommend a chartered surveyor:\n                     prompt response, direct access to the surveyor, MRICS or\n                     FRICS status and clear reporting.

Use their opening paragraph\n                     (\"Recommending a trusted professional\u2026\") verbatim.\n     Banner image    alexander-lyons-banner-1600x686.jpg\n     OG \/ social     alexander-lyons-meta-1080x1080.jpg\n                     Note: the live partner articles have no consistent featured\n                     image size (1024x458, 1024x684, 763x1024 portrait, 1080x1080).\n\n     TO CONFIRM BEFORE PUBLISH\n     -------------------------\n     1. REFERRALS DIRECTORY URL \u2014 twice below as REFERRALS-URL-TO-CONFIRM\n        (sponsor disclosure link + CTA button). Jessica asked for the banner ad\n        to point at their Referrals Directory profile, so the article CTA\n        matches. Format: https:\/\/www.lonres.com\/referrals\/org?org=XXXXXXXXXX\n     2. Sponsor line reads \"Mix and Mingle Sponsor\". Add month\/year if house\n        style needs it (Howden and Thomas Legal both carry a date).\n     3. Byline reads \"Words by Alexander Lyons Surveyors\" \u2014 swap for a named\n        author if they want one.\n     4. Jessica's mobile (07809 701 803) was in her signature but is NOT on the\n        page. Office number and enquiries@ only. Add it if she asks.\n     5. COVERAGE MAP \u2014 their supplied al-map-with-logo-1080x1080.jpg is in\n        Alexander Lyons yellow and blue with their logo burned in, which breaks\n        the house rule that partner articles carry no partner logos or brand\n        colours. The coverage outline has been traced from that file pixel for\n        pixel and redrawn as inline SVG in LonRes pink, with their own ten area\n        labels in Poppins. Same geography, no logo, no partner colours, no image\n        file for the web team to host, and the area names are real text so they\n        are crawlable. Swap the fill to their yellow if they object.\n     6. VIDEO \u2014 Vimeo embed 1229952906 (\"Mix and Mingle - Alexander Lyons\"),\n        supplied by Michael, sits directly under the intro. The player.js line\n        is only needed for the Vimeo JS API; playback works without it, so the\n        web team can drop it if they prefer no external script in the block.\n     7. Three of the seven supplied testimonials are used (KP Wimbledon,\n        Nik D London, Adams Kaye). The other four are in the source docx.\n     ========================================================================= -->\n<div id=\"al-art\" class=\"al\">\n<style>\n@import url('https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Playfair+Display:wght@500;600;700&family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Poppins:wght@500;600;700&display=swap');\n\n#al-art{\n  --pink:#DE007B;
