Established in 1991, we are a family-run team of RICS Chartered Surveyors providing bespoke residential surveys and full architectural services across South Wales. From auction property inspections to project managing your dream extension, we offer a truly personalised service.
Family-Run Expertise Serving South Wales Since 1991
We believe that property advice should be as unique as the buildings themselves. As a small, family-run firm of RICS Chartered Surveyors, we have spent over three decades building a reputation for thoroughness and integrity. Based in Cowbridge, we serve a 60-mile radius across South Wales for residential work and travel nationwide for our commercial clients.
When you hire us, you aren't just getting a report; you are getting the collective experience of a team that understands the local landscape, from the historic terraces of Cardiff to the rural homes of the Vale of Glamorgan.
Detailed Surveys Tailored to Your Purchase
Whether you are a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor purchasing at auction, we provide the clarity you need to move forward with confidence. Our surveys are not 'tick-box' exercises—they are comprehensive investigations led by Jim and Chris, who take the time to discuss findings with you directly.

We offer three distinct levels of residential reporting:
- Level 1 Elemental Defects Report: A targeted look at specific issues like damp, movement, or timber decay.
- Level 2 Homebuyers Report: A concise overview for modern properties in reasonable condition.
- Level 3 Full Building Survey: Our most popular service. This is an in-depth analysis including annotated photographs and detailed specifications for remedial works.
From Inception to Completion: Our Architectural Services
We do more than just identify problems; we help you create solutions. Our architectural department can take your vision for a home—whether it’s a loft conversion or a two-storey extension—and turn it into a reality. We manage the technical heavy lifting so you don't have to.
Our involvement is entirely up to you. We can provide:
- Pre-Contract Works: Feasibility studies, site measurements, and draft designs.
- Permissions: Handling planning drawings and building regulation submissions.
- Project Management: Tender analysis, site supervision, and JCT contract administration.
- Final Certification: Interim payment certificates and final completion validation.
"We pride ourselves on a personalised service, tailor-made to our clients' needs. Whether you need a quick defect report or full supervision throughout a complex build, we are here to guide you."
Specialists in Auction and Investment Properties
We are frequently sought out for our expertise in high-pressure environments, such as auction purchases. We understand the tight timescales involved and can often attend properties at short notice to provide the detailed inspections required before the hammer falls. Our reports
