Hannent Chartered Surveyors

Forty Years of Family-Run Expertise

Founded in 1984 by David Hannent, our practice was built on a simple premise: providing a holistic, rounded approach to the surveying profession. Today, led by David’s son, Paul Hannent, we remain a family-run firm that treats every client with a personal touch. We don't just tick boxes; we provide bespoke, personal reports tailored to the specific nuances of your property.

A Multi-Disciplinary Powerhouse

Why hire three different firms when you can hire one? Our team is a diverse collective of specialists, allowing us to look at your project from every angle. Whether you are a first-time buyer or a seasoned developer, we bring a wealth of internal knowledge to the table:

Led by Industry Authority

Our Managing Director, Paul Hannent, brings a unique perspective to the firm. With a background in Building Control and Design Management, Paul is not just a practitioner but a lecturer and mentor for the RICS.

His deep interest in low-energy design and "buildability" ensures that our advice is always forward-thinking and technically sound. When you work with us, you benefit from a team that stays at the absolute cutting edge of professional standards through constant CPD and university-level engagement.

Serving London, Kent, and Yorkshire

With six offices strategically located, we are positioned to respond quickly to your needs. While our roots are firmly planted in the South East and the Home Counties, our recent expansion into Wakefield allows us to bring our high standards to clients across West and South Yorkshire.

Ethics at Our Core

We believe in doing business the right way. As an RICS Inclusive Employer, we pride ourselves on a culture of public service and community involvement, including our corporate membership with Richmond Rugby Club.

"Our ethical policy insists on the highest standards, and we actively support those who serve our community."

We are proud to offer favourable terms of business to those who keep our country running, including:

• NHS Workers & Teachers
• Emergency Services
• HM Forces & Public Servants

Whether it’s a complex party wall matter, a structural engineering challenge, or a standard RICS building survey, we provide the robust advice you need to make informed decisions with confidence.
