Standley Estates Ltd

We believe that buying a home or managing a property portfolio shouldn't be a guessing game. At Standley Estates Limited, we combine the high-level technical expertise of a Fellow of the RICS with the personal touch of a family-run, independent business.

Based in Lymington, we serve homeowners, buyers, and investors across the region who require more than just a tick-box exercise. We provide clarity, professional insight, and a friendly voice at the end of the phone.

Decades of Local Expertise in Lymington

Our founding director, Guy Standley, is a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors with a career spanning over three decades. Having qualified in 1986, Guy established Standley Estates Ltd to provide a superior level of service in the residential market. When you hire us, you aren't getting a generic report from a national chain; you are getting thirty years of local knowledge and a commitment to professional excellence.

Clear, Jargon-Free RICS Level 2 Surveys

If you are buying or selling a conventional house, flat, or bungalow, our RICS Level 2 Home Survey is designed for you. We know that property reports can sometimes feel like they are written in another language. That’s why we pride ourselves on producing reports that are:

• Concise and comprehensible: We use a clear 'traffic light' system to highlight urgent repairs.
• Extensive: Covering internal and external structures, services, drains, and outbuildings.
• Practical: We include a professional opinion on market value and a buildings cost assessment for insurance purposes.

Professional Red Book Valuations You Can Trust

We are fully compliant with RICS 'Red Book' standards, providing formal valuations that meet the strict requirements of Target HCA, Housing Associations, and legal professionals. Whether you are navigating a 'Help to Buy' redemption, dealing with probate, or requiring a valuation for matrimonial purposes, we provide a confidential and prompt service.

A Personal Approach to Property

We are a small, dedicated team. While Guy handles the technical surveying, Jen Standley, our Office Manager, ensures the smooth day-to-day running of the business. Her background in marketing and management means you will always be greeted with a warm, professional approach.

"We have found the report concise, comprehensible (free from jargon), and well written. Thank you."

And of course, we couldn't do it without Millie, our Canine Doorbell, who keeps the office spirits high and ensures we never miss a delivery. We look forward to helping you with your next property move.
