Independent, RICS-accredited, and deeply rooted in London and the South East. We combine technical expertise in Building Surveys and Valuations with a personal, bespoke approach that puts your property investment first. Whether buying a home or needing expert probate advice, we are here to help.
Your Residential Experts in London and the South East
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. As an independently owned firm of Chartered Surveyors and Valuers, we provide a personal, bespoke service that combines high-level technical expertise with genuine local insight across London, Kent, and Suffolk.
Every instruction we take is handled by a Chartered Surveyor who is a Member or Fellow of the RICS and further accredited under the RICS Valuer Registration Scheme. This means you aren't just getting a survey; you are getting advice from a professional held to the highest global standards of integrity and competence.
Navigating Your Home Purchase with Confidence
We know that choosing the right survey can be confusing. We don't expect you to be the expert—that’s our job. When you get in touch, we’ll talk through your specific concerns and the property’s characteristics to ensure you get the right level of detail.
- Building Surveys: Our most comprehensive option, ideal for the older, larger, or more unusual properties found throughout the South East. We look at every visible aspect and provide a clear roadmap of necessary repairs.
- RICS Homebuyers Surveys: A detailed visual inspection using a clear 'traffic light' system to highlight urgent issues. Perfect for modern homes where you want professional peace of mind.
- Defect Reports: If you are worried about a specific crack, damp patch, or structural concern, we provide targeted assessments to identify the cause and the cure.
Specialist Valuations for Every Life Stage
Property isn't just about buying and selling; it’s about managing assets through all of life’s transitions. We provide rigorous, evidence-based valuations for a wide range of legal and tax purposes:
- Probate & Inheritance Tax: We act for Executors to provide accurate Market Value assessments that satisfy HMRC requirements.
- Capital Gains Tax: We specialise in retrospective valuations, including the critical 5th April 2015 valuations for non-UK residents.
- Matrimonial & Litigation: We frequently act as Expert Witnesses in Court, providing impartial evidence for property disputes and matrimonial proceedings.
Trusted by Local Authorities and Private Clients Alike
Our reputation for accuracy has led us to work on significant public sector projects. We have recently advised the Royal Borough of Greenwich regarding re-developments in Charlton and the London Borough of Hackney on compulsory purchase matters. Whether we are acting for a local authority or an individual leaseholder, our focus remains the same: providing an airtight valuation you can rely on.
"We pride ourselves on our integrity and the personal experience we offer. Every client is different, and every property has a story. Our job is to make sure you know it."
