We are independent RICS Chartered Surveyors specialising in London and the South East. Every instruction is handled by a Member or Fellow of the RICS, ensuring you receive bespoke, expert advice whether you are buying a home, settling an estate, or navigating a compulsory purchase.
Buying a home is likely the biggest investment you will ever make. At Edward James Surveyors, we don't treat your purchase as just another transaction; we treat it as your future. We are an independently owned firm of Chartered Surveyors and Valuers who believe that professional property advice should be personal, clear, and deeply rooted in local knowledge.
Local Expertise Across London and the South East
Whether you are buying a Victorian terrace in Hackney, a family home in Kent, or a coastal retreat in Suffolk, we have the ground-level insight you need. We operate throughout London and the South East, providing the comprehensive coverage of a large firm while retaining the attentive, bespoke service of a local specialist.
Why Our RICS Credentials Matter
Every service we provide is delivered by a Chartered Surveyor who is a Member (MRICS) or Fellow (FRICS) of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Furthermore, our team is accredited under the RICS Valuer Registration Scheme. This means you aren't just getting an opinion; you are getting a regulated, high-standard assessment backed by years of rigorous training and integrity.

Specialist Advice for Complex Situations
We do more than just standard surveys. We are frequently called upon for our expertise in complex valuation and legal matters. Our track record includes:
- Compulsory Purchase & Compensation: We have recently advised the Royal Borough of Greenwich (Charlton) and the London Borough of Hackney on major re-development projects.
- Tax & Probate: We act for Executors to provide precise valuations for Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax, including retrospective valuations dating back to 2015 for non-UK residents.
- Expert Witness Work: We provide robust reports and evidence for Court in property disputes and matrimonial proceedings.
Choosing the Right Survey for Your Move
We know it can be difficult to decide which report suits your needs. We take the time to talk you through your options to ensure you make an informed decision.

- RICS Homebuyers Surveys: A detailed visual inspection using a clear 'traffic light' system to highlight urgent issues. Perfect for modern homes in reasonable condition.
- Defect Reports: If you are worried about a specific issue like damp or structural movement, we provide a targeted assessment of the cause and the necessary resolution.
