Four Decades of Independent Expertise
Since qualifying as a Chartered Surveyor in 1979, Richard Baker has been a fixture of the Cambridgeshire property landscape. We established our private practice in Hilton over 30 years ago, built on the foundation of providing a prompt, personal service that larger, corporate firms often struggle to match.
As an independent practice, we aren't tied to lenders or big agencies. Our loyalty is entirely to you, our client, whether you are buying your first home, managing a commercial portfolio, or overseeing an agricultural estate.

Tailored Surveys for Your Next Move
We understand that buying a property is likely your most significant investment. We offer three distinct levels of inspection to ensure you move forward with confidence and clarity:
- The Building Survey: Our most comprehensive investigation, ideal for older, large, or unusual structures. We dive deep into the fabric of the building to identify defects, recommend repairs, and advise on future maintenance.
- Home Buyer Reports: A popular, RICS-standardised format for 20th-century homes, providing a clear, easy-to-read overview of the property's condition and market value.
- Professional Valuations: Precise, RICS-compliant assessments for probate, tax, insurance, or sale purposes.
Deep Roots in the Agricultural Community
Our expertise extends far beyond the town centre. We are uniquely positioned to support the farming community with specialist services that require a nuanced understanding of land, livestock, and rural law.
"We pride ourselves on a personal approach, acting for landowners and tenants alike to protect their interests in an ever-changing rural economy."
Whether it is managing Farm Dispersal Sales in conjunction with specialist auctioneers or navigating the complexities of Compulsory Purchase Schemes for new road or pipeline installations, we provide the technical authority you need to secure fair compensation.
Beyond the Standard Survey
Our work often involves complex negotiations that require a steady, experienced hand. We frequently act for clients in specialist areas including:
- Telecommunications Masts: Negotiating fair rentals and compensation for the construction and installation of masts on your land.
- Land Management: Handling SPS and Farm Stewardship applications to help you navigate agricultural subsidies.
- Tenant-Right Valuations: Ensuring fair transitions during rent reviews, stocktaking, or tenancy changes.
We cover a wide geographical area, reaching from our base in Hilton into the neighbouring counties of Norfolk, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, and N
