Addisons - Chartered Surveyors

A Century of Heritage in Barnard Castle

We have been a fixture of the Barnard Castle community for over 100 years. Since the early 1900s, our qualified surveyors have proudly served generations of farming families and property owners across County Durham, North Yorkshire, Cumbria, and Northumberland.

While we are proud of our history, we aren't stuck in the past. We pride ourselves on being a modern firm in a traditionally "dated" market. By combining the latest estate agency software and surveying technology with a personal, smile-led approach, we ensure our clients get the best of both worlds: deep-rooted local knowledge and cutting-edge efficiency.

Specialists in the Rural Economy and Agriculture

Our roots are firmly in the soil of the North. We understand the local economy and the specific challenges facing the rural community today. Whether you are navigating the transition to the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) or looking to realise the natural capital potential of your land, we have the tools to help.

Led by Simon Nixon: 25 Years of Industry Expertise

Our team is led by Partner and Chartered Surveyor Simon Nixon. With over 25 years of industry experience, Simon brings a level of authority and insight that is hard to match. He is frequently called upon to act as an Expert Witness for mediation and arbitration disputes, providing the technical expertise required for complex legal and property matters.
