New Forest Surveying

Expert Guidance for Your New Forest Property Journey

We aren't just surveyors; we are your local partners in property. Based in the heart of the New Forest, our family-owned practice combines RICS-regulated surveying with creative architectural design. Whether you are buying a thatched cottage in Brockenhurst or planning a contemporary extension in Lymington, we provide the integrated advice you need to move forward with confidence.

Led by Gerard Pocock BSc (Hons) MRICS

Our practice is owned and operated by Gerard Pocock, a Chartered Building Surveyor with extensive experience across all core surveying disciplines. Unlike larger corporate firms, we offer a personable, responsive service. When you hire us, you get Gerard’s direct expertise—from the initial site visit to the final technical report.

Specialists in the Care of Historic & Listed Buildings

Traditional buildings require a different language of care. We understand that historic structures need to "breathe," and we often identify damage caused by inappropriate modern materials or ill-considered alterations.

We provide specialist conservation advice and detailed Level 3 surveys that respect the heritage of the New Forest. We guide you through the complexities of damp in permeable structures and ensure that any planned improvements use appropriate techniques and master craftsmen.

From Concept Design to Practical Completion

Why hire multiple consultants when you can have one seamless point of contact? We offer a "turnkey" service that bridges the gap between a survey and a finished build.

• Architectural Design: We handle planning applications and building regulations, ensuring longevity and sustainability are baked into the design.
• Contract Administration: We manage the contract between you and the builder, controlling costs and inspecting works to ensure quality.
• Principal Designer: We take control of the pre-construction phase to manage health and safety risks under CDM 2015 regulations.

"We take the time to listen carefully to our clients, understand their priorities, and tailor our advice to their individual needs."

Why Choose Our Blended Approach?

Many of our projects benefit from a coordinated solution where we lead both the architectural design and the project coordination. This reduces fragmented decision-making and provides seamless continuity from the initial concept through to the day you move in. We work closely with a trusted network of local craftspeople and structural engineers to ensure every project is delivered to the highest standard.
