Buying a home is likely the most significant investment you will ever make. We believe you deserve more than a generic checklist; you deserve a deep, technical understanding of your future property delivered with a personal touch.
At Charlesworth Chartered Surveyors, we bridge the gap between high-level technical excellence and straightforward, dependable communication. We don't just find defects; we explain their implications and provide practical recommendations so you can move forward with total clarity.
Led by a Fellow of the RICS
When you hire us, you are hiring over 25 years of high-level industry experience. Every single survey is carried out personally by our founder, Jon Charlesworth FRICS.
As a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors—the highest professional designation in the field—Jon brings a level of expertise that few firms can match. Having previously served as the Operations Director for a major national surveying firm, Jon established this practice to return to what he loves most: providing a tailored, client-first service where the person you speak to on the phone is the person climbing the ladder at the property.

Advanced Technology for Total Peace of Mind
We believe in using the best tools available to protect your investment. That is why we include drone inspections as part of our in-depth Level 3 Building Surveys. This allows us to assess roofs, chimney stacks, and high-level elevations that are often inaccessible or invisible from ground level, ensuring no hidden costs are waiting for you after completion.
A Straight-Talking Approach
Property reports can often be filled with dense jargon that leaves buyers feeling more confused than when they started. We do things differently. Our reports are written in plain English and designed to be a practical tool for negotiation or maintenance planning.
"I’m particularly keen to help purchasers put defects into context. I’m always happy to discuss any aspect of your survey personally to ensure you feel supported throughout the process." — Jon Charlesworth, FRICS
Whether you are buying a modern development or a period home, we provide the meticulous, honest, and well-structured assessment you need to make an informed decision.
