Shire Surveyors Ltd

It is a well-known cliché that people often spend more time researching a new washing machine than they do the house they are about to buy. At Shire Surveyors, we are here to change that. We believe your property purchase should be based on cold, hard facts rather than the emotion of a thirty-minute viewing.

As an independent, owner-managed firm, our reputation is our most valuable asset. We don't just provide data; we provide clarity. Our reports are designed to be comprehensive yet jargon-free, ensuring you have the confidence to negotiate or walk away if the investment isn't sound.

Why Homeowners Across the East Midlands Trust Us

We take pride in the fact that 85% of our work comes from professional referrals. Accountants, lawyers, and property experts recommend us because they know we are reliable, efficient, and thorough.

Led by Experts: Tom Lister & Sam McDonald

Our firm is led by Directors Tom Lister BSc (Hons) MRICS, ACABE and Sam McDonald BSc (Hons) MRICS. Supported by our dedicated administration team, Charlotte and Sam, we ensure a seamless experience from your initial quote to the final report.

We don't just send a PDF and disappear. Following our inspection, our surveyors are available to call you and discuss the broad outline of their findings, giving you immediate peace of mind before the full report arrives.

Choosing the Right Level of Protection

We specialise in residential property and land, offering a range of RICS-standard inspections tailored to your specific needs:

• RICS Level 2 Survey: Ideal for modern, traditionally built properties in reasonable condition. It covers all main aspects of the property and includes a valuation if required.
• RICS Level 3 Survey: Our most comprehensive service. We recommend this for older properties, listed buildings, or homes where significant defects might be hidden within the fabric of the building.
• Valuation Services: We provide expert valuations for probate, matrimonial proceedings, taxation, insurance, and Help to Buy schemes.

Specialist Land and Boundary Advice

Beyond the building itself, we offer technical expertise in land matters. If you are facing a boundary dispute or need Land Registry compliant plans for a sale or purchase of garden land, we use precise measurements and Land Registry Title Plans to provide the professional documentation your solicitor needs.

"Our objective is simple: to provide high-quality, fully reasoned advice that helps you make a sound investment based on facts, not emotions."
