MKN Surveyors Ltd

Protecting Your Future in Yorkshire and France

Buying a property is more than a transaction; it’s your future. At Yorkshire and France Property Surveyors, we reveal what others miss. Whether you are buying a cottage in the Yorkshire Dales or a chateau in the South of France, we provide the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.

We understand that property decisions shouldn't be made in the dark. That is why we combine decades of industry experience with a personal, family-run touch to ensure you understand the true condition of your investment.

Why We Are Different: The Cross-Border Experts

We occupy a unique niche in the industry. Founded by Matt Noble, our firm bridges the gap for English-speaking buyers navigating the complexities of the French property market while maintaining a deep-rooted presence in Yorkshire.

"We bridge cultures and property markets, giving you confidence in your investment decisions."

With Matt’s Irish citizenship ensuring seamless European access post-Brexit and our RICS regulation guaranteeing the highest professional standards, we offer a level of security that is hard to find elsewhere. We deliver all reports in clear English within days, not weeks.

Rare Heritage Expertise for Period Properties

If you are investing in a historic building, you need more than a standard survey. Matt is one of only 130 RICS Certified Historic Building Professionals worldwide. This rare qualification allows us to provide insights into period properties that most surveyors simply cannot offer.

A Personal, Family-Run Approach

We aren't a faceless corporate firm. As a family business led by Matt and Kay Noble, your property matters to us personally. We’ve built our reputation on honesty—even if that means advising a client to walk away from a bad investment to save them from a disastrous purchase.

We translate complex structural issues into straightforward, jargon-free language. You won't just receive a report; you'll receive a roadmap for your property, helping you prioritise repairs and understand the true value of your investment.

Our Three-Step Process to Peace of Mind

1. Tell Us Your Story: We listen to your specific concerns, whether it's a damp issue in a Yorkshire terrace or structural questions about a French farmhouse.
2. Expert Assessment: Our qualified surveyors thoroughly examine every accessible part of the property using decades of technical knowledge.
3. Complete Clarity: You receive a comprehensive, easy-to-read report within five days of the survey completion, ensuring your move stays on track.
