Holdens Chartered Surveyors

We believe that property advice should be as personal as it is professional. Founded in 2014 by Michael Holden, our practice has grown from a single office in Accrington into a multi-disciplinary family firm. Today, Michael is joined by his three sons—Eddy, Joe, and Bill—ensuring that every instruction we handle is backed by a deep-rooted commitment to our clients and our reputation.

A Family-Run Practice with Regional Reach

While we have grown significantly, our core values remain unchanged. We operate from offices in Blackburn, Accrington, Bolton, and Lancaster, providing us with the local boots-on-the-ground knowledge that national firms simply cannot match. We don't just look at bricks and mortar; we understand the specific nuances of the North West property market, from the historic terraces of Lancashire to the prime residential estates of Cumbria.

"Our mission is to provide clear, independent advice that delivers clarity and confidence, blending traditional surveying expertise with modern technology."

Specialists in Heritage and Prime Property

Not every building is the same, and we pride ourselves on our ability to handle complex, non-standard instructions. We are particularly known for our Heritage Surveys, where we apply specialist conservation knowledge to protect the UK's historic building stock. Whether you are purchasing a listed building or a high-value prime residence, we provide the meticulous attention to detail your investment deserves.
