Portland Surveys

Over 20 Years of Independent Expertise in the East Midlands

We believe that when you are making the biggest investment of your life, you deserve advice that is completely unbiased and rooted in local knowledge. Based in West Bridgford, we have spent more than two decades providing homeowners, buyers, and legal professionals across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire with the clarity they need to move forward with confidence.

As an independent firm, we aren't tied to any lenders or estate agency chains. Our loyalty is solely to you. Led by David Pidgeon, our team of RICS qualified surveyors and Registered Valuers prides itself on being approachable and responsive. When you instruct us, you get direct access to your dedicated surveyor to discuss any concerns before or after the inspection.

• Energy Performance Certificates (EPC): We are fully accredited to provide domestic EPCs, a legal requirement for any property being sold or let.
