E C Surveyors LLP

Two Sets of Eyes on Every Property

When you hire us, you aren't just getting a standard report; you're getting the combined expertise of two senior Chartered Surveyors. We typically carry out our inspections together, allowing us to discuss findings on-site and ensure no detail is overlooked.

This collaborative approach is rare in the industry and provides our clients with a level of thoroughness that a solo surveyor simply cannot match. We believe that by working as a team, we provide a more robust analysis of a property's condition and value.

Meet Your Surveyors: Ed and Angela Chamberlain

We have lived and worked in South Devon for over three decades, giving us an intimate understanding of the local housing stock—from the Victorian villas of Torquay to rural Devon longhouses.

• Ed Chamberlain BSc (Hons) MRICS: Qualified in 1997. Ed’s background as a Chartered Quantity Surveyor (Building Cost Consultant) means he looks at buildings through the lens of construction costs and structural integrity. He provides practical design advice that helps you understand the feasibility of future alterations.
• Angela Chamberlain BSc (Hons) MRICS: Qualified in 1995. With a background in estate agency and corporate valuation for major lending institutions, Angela brings a sharp eye for market value and the nuances of the South Devon property market.

A Bespoke Service for South Devon Buyers

We specialise exclusively in residential property. Whether you are buying a modern semi-detached home, a wing of a grand townhouse, or a detached rural bungalow, we tailor our inspection to the specific age and construction type of the building.

Clarity, Detail, and Post-Survey Support

We know that reading a technical report can be daunting. That’s why we prioritise clarity. Our reports are highly detailed and include photographs taken during the survey to illustrate our findings clearly.

Once you’ve had time to digest the report, we offer a dedicated telephone appointment. We’ll talk through the key issues, explain the implications of any defects, and suggest further investigations if needed. Our goal is to ensure you can negotiate with confidence—just as we recently helped a client secure a £14,000 price reduction based on our findings.

"We believe a survey shouldn't just list problems; it should provide a roadmap for your investment and peace of mind for your future home."

We are proud that much of our work comes from recommendations by local solicitors and previous clients who value our personal, professional, and thorough approach to property consultancy.
