About Geoffrey Butterworth
A Legacy of Property Expertise in North Wales
We believe that when you are making the biggest investment of your life, you deserve more than just a PDF in your inbox. At Butterworth, we combine over half a century of local knowledge with a modern, efficient approach to property surveying. Established in 1996, our family-run practice has become one of the most respected names in the North Wales property market.
Our mission is simple: to provide you with honest, straightforward advice that helps you move forward with confidence. Whether you are a first-time buyer in Colwyn Bay or a commercial investor in Llandudno, we treat every instruction with the same level of meticulous detail.
Why Homeowners and Investors Trust Us
What sets us apart is the personal touch. We know that survey reports can be daunting, which is why we don't just send the paperwork and disappear.
- Verbal Debriefs: After every survey, we take the time to call you. We talk you through our findings in plain English, explaining any issues and offering practical solutions before you even see the written report.
- Rapid Turnaround: We understand that time is of the essence in property transactions. We often deliver our comprehensive written reports within 24 to 48 hours of the inspection.
- Unrivalled Local Knowledge: Having operated in North Wales for decades, we understand the specific quirks of the local housing stock, from Victorian coastal properties to modern developments.
Meet the Partners Behind the Name
Our firm is led by the father-and-son team of Geoff and James Butterworth, bringing together a unique blend of traditional experience and high-level commercial insight.
- Geoff Butterworth (FRICS): Geoff has been a qualified Chartered Surveyor since 1970. With over 55 years in the industry, including time spent with the District Valuers in Bangor, his knowledge of the North Wales market is truly second to none.
- James Butterworth (MRICS): James graduated from Oxford Brookes in 1997 and became the youngest qualified Chartered Surveyor at King Sturge in Manchester at just 23. Before joining forces with Geoff in 2009, he was a Partner specialising in commercial property investment.
