Marshalls Chartered Surveyors

We’ve been a fixture of the local property landscape since 1979. Originally established in Abingdon, we have grown into a leading independent practice of Chartered Surveyors and RICS Registered Valuers with dedicated offices in Oxford and Thatcham.

Our philosophy is simple: we provide high-quality, professional advice that helps you make informed decisions. Whether you are a first-time buyer stepping onto the ladder or an investor managing a portfolio, we bring over four decades of local knowledge to every instruction.

Decades of Expertise Across the Thames Valley and The Cotswolds

We don't just work in these areas; we live here and know the local building stock inside out. From the historic colleges of Oxford to the rural charm of The Cotswolds, our surveyors are routinely on the ground in:

• Oxfordshire: Oxford, Witney, Abingdon, Didcot, Bicester, and Wantage.
• Berkshire: Thatcham, Newbury, Hungerford, and Lambourn.
• Surrounding Areas: We also cover Hampshire, Buckinghamshire, and Gloucestershire.

Jargon-Free Reports You Can Actually Use

By their nature, property surveys can often feel negative or overly technical. We do things differently. Our Level 2 and Level 3 Survey Reports are written in plain English, providing clear, common-sense guidance on the condition of your potential home.

We believe a surveyor should be a help, not a hindrance. If we find an issue—whether it's damp, timber defects, or structural concerns—we explain it clearly and offer practical advice on the next steps.

Navigating the Party Wall Act
