John Seed - Chartered Surveyors
High Peak
Delabrooke Farm, The Wash, Chapel-en-le-Frith, Derbyshire, SK23 0QW, Derbyshire
Led by John Seed (ex-CBRE & Knight Frank), we combine big-firm expertise with the personal touch of a Derbyshire niche practice. From SIPP valuations to Help to Buy, we deliver RICS-regulated, cost-effective, and expeditious property advice you can trust.
Big-Firm Expertise with a Personal Derbyshire Touch
We founded JS:CS to bridge the gap between large-scale corporate property consultancy and the dedicated, personal service of a local practice. Based on the edge of the Peak District, we bring over a decade of high-level experience from global firms like CBRE and Knight Frank directly to our clients in Derbyshire and beyond.
Whether you are a homeowner navigating a Help to Buy repayment or a business owner managing a commercial portfolio, we believe you deserve professional advice that is both rigorous and easy to access. We pride ourselves on a fresh outlook that instils trust through transparency and efficiency.
"Our core values focus on providing a cost-effective, flexible, and expeditious service, bringing a simple and personal approach to every instruction."
Why Clients Trust JS:CS
As an RICS Regulated Firm, our work is held to the highest international standards. We don't just provide numbers; we provide peace of mind. We understand that property matters can often be time-sensitive or complex, which is why we prioritise a responsive, flexible service.
