We are independent RICS Chartered Surveyors specialising in the London and South East residential market. From comprehensive Building Surveys to complex tax valuations, we provide a personal, bespoke service backed by the highest professional standards and deep local expertise.
Your Partners in the London and South East Property Market
Buying a home is likely the most significant investment you will ever make. At Edward James Surveyors, we believe you deserve more than a generic report. We are an independently owned firm of Chartered Surveyors and Valuers who specialise exclusively in residential property across London, Kent, and Suffolk.
We combine the comprehensive coverage of a large firm with the nuanced, boots-on-the-ground knowledge of a local practice. Whether you are a first-time buyer in Hackney or an investor managing a portfolio in the South East, we provide the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.
Navigating Your Home Purchase with Confidence
Choosing the right survey can be daunting. We don't just send you a document; we talk you through your options to ensure you get the level of detail your specific property requires.
- Building Surveys: Ideal for older, larger, or unusual properties. We examine every accessible part of the structure, providing a deep dive into its condition, necessary repairs, and even a Reinstatement Cost assessment.
- RICS Homebuyer Reports: A popular choice for modern homes, using a clear 'traffic light' system to highlight urgent issues without the complexity of a full structural audit.
- Defect Reports: If you are worried about a specific crack, damp patch, or structural quirk, we provide targeted inspections to identify the cause and the cure.
Specialist Valuations for Tax, Probate, and Legal Matters
Our team consists of RICS Members and Fellows who are further accredited under the RICS Valuer Registration Scheme. This means our valuations carry the weight of authority required for official purposes:
- Inheritance Tax & Probate: We act for Executors to provide accurate Market Value assessments for estate settlements.
- Capital Gains Tax: We specialise in retrospective valuations, including the critical 5th April 2015 reports for non-UK residents.
- Matrimonial & Litigation: We frequently serve as Expert Witnesses in property disputes and court proceedings.
Expert Advice for Complex Property Disputes
We have a proven track record in high-stakes property matters, including Compulsory Purchase and Compensation. We have recently advised the Royal Borough of Greenwich on projects in Charlton and the London Borough of Hackney, representing the interests of leaseholders and freeholders in major redevelopment zones.
"Our mission is to provide a personal and bespoke service to every client, ensuring integrity and professional excellence are at the heart of every report we write."
