About J & E Shepherd

All Angles Covered Since 1880

We aren't just another surveying firm; we are a Scottish institution with a legacy spanning over 140 years. Since our founding in 1880, we have grown into the country’s leading Chartered Surveyors, providing a seamless blend of deep-rooted local knowledge and comprehensive national coverage.

Whether you are a homeowner preparing to sell, a first-time buyer navigating the market, or a commercial investor looking for your next opportunity, we ensure you have the data and insights to move forward with total confidence.

Scotland’s Largest Provider of Home Reports

In Scotland, a Home Report is a legal essential, but for us, it’s about more than just compliance. We are the nation's most prolific provider of Home Reports, designed to give both buyers and sellers absolute peace of mind. Our reports are thorough, transparent, and designed to ensure there are no "nasty surprises" waiting after the keys change hands.

Our Home Reports typically include:

  • The Single Survey: A detailed look at the property’s condition, from the roof to the foundations.
  • Energy Report: An EPC rating to help you understand efficiency and annual costs.
  • Mortgage Valuation: A summary that banks and building societies trust.
  • Property Questionnaire: Vital information that only a seller can provide, verified by our experts.

Commercial Expertise and Live Virtual Auctions

Beyond residential moves, we are a powerhouse in the commercial sector. Our team manages everything from lease advisory and asset management to complex valuations for mainstream lenders.

If you are looking to buy or sell via auction, our Shepherd Commercial Auctions platform is a market leader. We host 'Live Broadcast' virtual auction room sales, combining the fast-paced excitement of a traditional auction with the accessibility of modern online bidding.

Why Property Professionals and Homeowners Choose Us

We believe that property advice is only as good as the people giving it. That’s why our team consists of RICS-accredited professionals who live and work in the communities they serve.
