Middle Nuckwell, Aveton Gifford, Kingsbridge, Devon, TQ7 4NZ, Devon
With 30+ years of experience and FRICS status, we provide expert RICS surveys across South Devon. From period homes to modern builds, we combine deep technical knowledge with advanced drone technology to ensure no stone—or roof tile—is left unturned.
Led by Jamie Carter, a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (FRICS) with over three decades of experience, we provide a level of expertise that goes far beyond a standard checklist. Based in South Devon, we help homeowners, buyers, and developers navigate the complexities of property ownership with clarity and confidence.
We believe that a survey should be more than just a technical document; it should be a roadmap for your investment. Our approach is defined by straightforward language, pragmatic advice, and a commitment to being there for our clients long after the report is delivered.

From the coastal homes of Salcombe and Kingsbridge to the historic streets of Totnes, we understand the unique architectural fabric of South Devon. We specialise in RICS Level 2 and Level 3 surveys, tailoring our depth of investigation to the age, condition, and type of property you are looking to purchase.

Specialist Care for Period and Listed Buildings
Older properties require a different eye. We have extensive experience in the nuances of period construction and the specific requirements of listed buildings. We help you understand the risks and responsibilities of heritage ownership, ensuring you are fully informed before you commit.
Seeing the Unseen with Drone Technology
We have integrated the latest UAV technology into our practice to provide a "whole property" perspective. Our drone surveys allow us to inspect roofs, valleys, and high-level masonry that are often inaccessible with traditional equipment. This significantly reduces the risk of unforeseen costs and provides you with high-resolution visual evidence of the building's condition.
