About Cheke & Co

Over 150 Years of Essex Property Expertise

We first opened our doors in 1873 in Woodford Green. Today, as part of the Beresfords Group, we remain one of the region’s most respected independent Chartered Surveying practices. Whether you are buying your first home or managing a commercial portfolio, we provide the clarity you need to make informed decisions.

Why Local Knowledge Matters

Essex property isn't just about bricks and mortar; it's about the ground beneath. Our surveyors understand the specific challenges of the region, from the clay-based soils prevalent in certain areas to flood risks and local construction trends. We don't just tick boxes; we provide deep local context that national firms often miss.

Every Surveyor is RICS Chartered

Trust is everything in property. That is why every single member of our surveying team holds full RICS Chartered Status (MRICS or FRICS). Furthermore, our team members hold Registered Valuer status. This means when you hire us, you are getting a seasoned professional capable of identifying complex structural defects and providing accurate market valuations.

  • Project Management: Overseeing extensions, refurbishments, and new builds from start to finish.
  • Specialist Matters: Expert guidance on Party Wall disputes, dilapidations, and building defects.

"Our mission is to deliver the expert guidance you need to make informed property decisions, backed by a century and a half of local experience."
