As Scotland’s largest provider of Home Reports, we’ve been the backbone of the Scottish property market since 1880. Our RICS-qualified team offers unparalleled local knowledge across a national network, ensuring your move is backed by over 140 years of expertise.

Covering Every Corner of Scotland Since 1880

We aren't just another surveying firm; we are a Scottish institution. With a legacy spanning over 140 years, we have grown to become the leading Chartered Surveyors, valuers, and property agents in the country. Whether you are buying your first flat in Glasgow, selling a family home in the Highlands, or managing a commercial portfolio in Edinburgh, we provide the local boots-on-the-ground expertise you need.

Our strength lies in our dual identity: we offer the vast resources of a nationwide network combined with the intimate, nuanced knowledge of local markets that only a resident surveyor can provide.

The Gold Standard for Scottish Home Reports

In Scotland, the Home Report is the heartbeat of any residential sale. As the country’s largest provider, we take that responsibility seriously. Our RICS-accredited surveyors ensure that every report is robust, accurate, and delivered with the speed the modern market demands.

When you instruct us, you receive a comprehensive package designed for total peace of mind:

  • The Single Survey: A detailed look at the property’s condition, from the roof to the foundations.
  • Energy Report: An EPC rating to help buyers understand efficiency and future costs.
  • Mortgage Valuation: A summary trusted by all mainstream UK banks and building societies.
  • Property Questionnaire: Essential seller-provided details to ensure no surprises.

Commercial Excellence and Online Auctions

Our expertise extends far beyond residential doorsteps. We are a powerhouse in the commercial sector, offering a full suite of services including Lease Advisory, Asset Management, and Property Valuation.

For those looking for a fast, transparent sale, our Shepherd Commercial Auctions platform is a market leader. We host both live-broadcast virtual auctions and online bidding, connecting sellers with a global pool of investors for everything from retail units to industrial yards.
