Devon Property Surveyors

Over 30 Years of Devon Property Expertise

We believe that buying a home is one of the most significant decisions you’ll ever make. That’s why we provide more than just a report; we offer a personal partnership to guide you through the process. Led by Hazel Geddis, a Chartered Surveyor with over three decades of experience, our practice is built on the values of independence, integrity, and local insight.

A Personal Alternative to Corporate Surveying

After years of working for top London firms and large corporate surveying companies, Hazel founded Devon Property Surveyors 14 years ago. She wanted to move away from the "volume-driven" corporate model to focus on what really matters: the client.

When you work with us, you aren't just a number. We take the time to talk through your concerns, liaise with your solicitors and estate agents, and even help you source reliable local tradespeople for any necessary repairs.

Comprehensive Surveys for Every Property

Whether you are buying a modern apartment in Exeter or a period cottage in Sidmouth, we provide the clarity you need to proceed with confidence.

• Building Surveys: Our most detailed "structural" report, ideal for older, run-down, or extensively altered properties.
• Homebuyer Reports: A concise, cost-effective choice for modern homes in reasonable condition.
• Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs): We are fully qualified to provide both residential and commercial EPCs, ensuring your property meets all legal requirements for sale or let.

Specialist Valuation Services

Beyond standard surveys, we are highly experienced in providing formal valuations for complex legal and financial needs. We tailor every report to meet specific legal procedures, including:

1. Probate & Inheritance Tax: Sensitive and accurate valuations for estate planning.
2. Matrimonial & Division of Equity: Independent advice for legal proceedings.
3. Expert Witness: Reports compliant with Civil Procedure Rules (Part 35).
4. Taxation: Valuations for Capital Gains Tax and Charities Act requirements.
