With a legacy dating back to 1873, Chekes provides expert RICS-qualified surveying across Essex and the Suffolk borders. We combine 150 years of heritage with modern expertise, conducting over 1,300 surveys annually for homebuyers, investors, and major lenders.
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.
