Martin Goode MRICS Ltd

Your Local Property Experts in West Cumbria

Buying a home is likely the biggest investment you will ever make. We believe you deserve more than a generic report from a national franchise. As a family-run business, we pride ourselves on a high-quality, friendly service that puts your interests first.

We aren't just surveyors; we are locals. Martin was educated in Great Broughton and Cockermouth, and our deep roots in the area mean we understand the specific construction styles and market nuances of our region. We only operate within the area of our expertise, ensuring you get the benefit of genuine local knowledge.

Led by Martin Goode: A Lifetime of Building Knowledge

Our firm is led by Martin Goode, a Chartered Building Surveyor (MRICS) who has been self-employed since 1992. Martin’s career didn't start in an office; he served his time as a quantity surveyor and architectural technician before qualifying as a Chartered Surveyor.

This diverse background gives us a unique "under the skin" understanding of property. We don't just see a wall; we understand the costs, the materials, and the structural integrity behind it. Over the past 18 years, we have focused this expertise into specialising in RICS Home Survey Reports and Valuations.

Why Homeowners Choose Our Independent Advice

We specialise in the RICS suite of surveys, particularly the Level 2 Report—the most popular choice for the majority of properties. Because we are fully regulated by the RICS and carry full professional indemnity cover, you can rest assured that our advice is both expert and protected.

Professional Valuations You Can Bank On

As RICS Registered Valuers, we provide "Red Book" valuations. This is the quality assurance mechanism that ensures consistent standards across the industry. Whether you are a private purchaser or an investor, our 18 years of specialism in valuations ensures you have a clear, evidence-based understanding of a property's worth.

"We are local and proud of it. We use the latest technology combined with decades of traditional surveying experience to protect our clients' investments."

We know that the buying process can be stressful. That is why we focus on being approachable and clear, cutting through the jargon to tell you exactly what you need to know about your potential new home.
