About Woodward Chartered Surveyors
From Oxford to Oxford Street: Your Property Partners
Buying a property is likely the largest investment you will ever make. At Woodward Chartered Surveyors, we believe you deserve more than a generic checklist. We provide value for money through high-quality inspections and clear, helpful reporting that helps you reach an informed decision.
From our administration hub in Rickmansworth to our Mayfair office in London, we cover a vast area including Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Middlesex, and Central London. For our corporate clients, our reach extends nationwide—from Edinburgh to Exeter.
Why Our Team Approach Benefits You
Many surveyors work alone, but we’ve chosen a different path. We are an employee-owned business where our five full-time Chartered Surveyors and specialist consultants collaborate constantly.
"We are firm believers in Life-Long Learning. Our team meets twice a month to share information on property values, changes in the law, and new building materials. This collective knowledge is a very real difference that we pass on to you in our reports."
Specialist Expertise Led by Industry Authorities
Our firm is led by some of the most respected names in the industry. Our Chairman, Stephen Cornish PhD, is a Fellow of the RICS and a Director of the Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors. His passion for architectural history and his expertise as a "Third Surveyor" in complex disputes sets the standard for our practice.
Our directors bring a wealth of diverse experience to your project:
- Douglas Snell MRICS: Formerly of Knight Frank, Douglas brings Central London expertise and a deep understanding of building construction.
- Kate Farrar MRICS: A specialist in West London and the Herts/Bucks borders, Kate is highly experienced in contract administration and residential surveys.
- Adam Stimpson MRICS: With a background in major national surveying firms, Adam provides robust insights into the regional property market.
