About J & E Shepherd

All Angles Covered Since 1880

We aren't just surveyors; we are a part of Scotland's property history. For over 140 years, Shepherd Chartered Surveyors has been the cornerstone of the Scottish property market. Whether you are a first-time buyer in Glasgow, a commercial investor in Aberdeen, or selling a family home in the Highlands, we bring a century of expertise to your doorstep.

Our philosophy is simple: we combine the vast resources of a national firm with the intimate, nuanced knowledge of a local specialist. When you work with us, you get the best of both worlds.

Scotland’s Most Trusted Home Report Specialists

In Scotland, the Home Report is the heartbeat of a residential sale. As the country’s leading provider, we make the process effortless. Our RICS-accredited surveyors provide the essential components required for a legal sale, ensuring no nasty surprises for buyers or sellers.

  • The Single Survey: A detailed look at the property’s condition, from the roof to the foundations.
  • Energy Reports: Providing essential EPC ratings and efficiency advice to manage future costs.
  • Mortgage Valuations: Our reports are trusted and accepted by every mainstream lender in the UK.
  • Property Questionnaires: Helping you navigate the vital "hidden" details of your home.

Commercial Power and Live Auctions

Our expertise extends far beyond the front door of a house. We manage a vast portfolio of commercial interests, offering strategic advice that moves the needle for your business.

From Lease Advisory and Asset Management to our innovative Commercial Auctions, we provide a platform for success. Our 'Live Broadcast' virtual auction room brings the heat of the auction floor directly to your screen, ensuring the best possible market price for unique assets and commercial developments.

"Our mission is to provide comprehensive local market knowledge with the benefit of national coverage, ensuring every angle is covered for our clients."

A Local Team with National Reach

We pride ourselves on being "on the ground." Our surveyors live and work in the communities they serve.

This means when we value a property, we aren't just looking at spreadsheets—we’re looking at the street, the school catchments, and the local trends that only a resident would know. Following our successful merger with Hardies Property and Construction Consultants, we also offer an integrated approach to construction and development projects across the country.
