SJM Surveyors

Buying a property is likely the most significant investment you will ever make. At SJM Surveyors, we believe you deserve more than a 'tick-box' report from a distant corporate firm. We are a family-owned, independent practice of RICS Chartered Building Surveyors and Valuers who have been protecting buyers across North Shropshire, Powys, and Wrexham since 2002.

Our philosophy is simple: we provide the kind of thorough, jargon-free advice we would want for our own families. Because we are fully independent, we never pay or receive referral fees from estate agents. Our loyalty lies solely with you.

A Family Legacy of Property Expertise

When you instruct us, you aren't dealing with a call centre. You are working directly with a team that has over 60 years of combined experience in building pathology and construction.

• Richard Massie: Managing Director, Senior Building Surveyor & Registered Valuer.
• Steven Massie: Senior Building Surveyor & Registered Valuer.
• Abigail Massie: Director and Registered Domestic Energy Assessor.

We combine this deep local knowledge with high-level professional accreditations, including membership in the Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE) and the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA).

Specialists in Heritage and Complex Buildings

If you are purchasing a Grade-listed building or a property built with traditional materials, a standard survey often isn't enough. We specialise in Level 3 Building Surveys for older and more unusual properties. We understand the nuances of timber frames, solid stone masonry, and the specific breathability requirements of heritage assets.

To ensure no stone is left unturned, we also offer Drone Surveys. This allows us to safely and efficiently inspect high-level roofs, chimney stacks, and valleys that are often inaccessible during a standard inspection, giving you a complete picture of the property's condition.

Beyond the Home Purchase

Our expertise extends across the full property lifecycle. Whether you are a commercial landlord needing a Schedule of Condition, a tenant facing Dilapidations claims, or a homeowner dealing with a specific structural concern, we provide the technical evidence you need.

"We pride ourselves on leaving no stone unturned. Every report we produce is bespoke to the property and the client, ensuring you have the clarity to move forward with confidence or renegotiate with facts."

From Specific Defect Analysis (cracking, damp, or roof failure) to Expert Witness Reports for legal disputes, we provide a steady hand and professional insight when you need it most.
