Charlecote Estates

We believe property decisions should be built on clarity, not guesswork. At Charlecote Estates, we combine four decades of heritage with a forward-thinking approach to help you navigate the complexities of residential and commercial real estate. Whether you are a first-time buyer needing a survey or a multi-site operator managing a commercial portfolio, we provide the precise, professional, and personalised expertise you need.

Four Decades of Technical Excellence

Our story began over 40 years ago when Rob Cleaver founded the practice on a simple ethos: providing dependable, expert-led services grounded in integrity. Today, we remain a family-run business that prioritises long-term relationships over transaction volumes. We treat our clients as people, not numbers, ensuring every piece of advice is grounded in compliance and commercial understanding.

Specialist Support for the F&B and Commercial Sectors

We aren't just generalists; we offer dedicated property services for franchisees, tenants, and multi-site operators across the food and beverage sector. From pubs and bars to coffee shops and restaurants, we provide the clear, consistent surveys required to support lease negotiations and fit-out planning. Our commercial team also manages assets with a focus on tenant relations and long-term value, ensuring your investments are protected and performing.

Led by Industry Pioneers

Our leadership team brings a level of seniority and insight rarely found in boutique practices.

• James Cleaver (Chief Executive): A Chartered Surveyor with 20 years of experience, James began his career in Central London and now leads our strategic growth with a hands-on approach to valuation and development.
• Nick Faulkner (Director): With over 30 years in complex property management, Nick was a founding member of the Institute of Residential Property Management (IRPM) and a former RICS lecturer.
• Robert Cleaver (Director): With five decades in the industry, Robert co-founded the Basepoint network and has delivered major commercial developments across the UK.

Modern Tools, Traditional Standards

While we uphold traditional professional standards, we embrace modern technology to give our clients an edge. We use drone technology to deliver detailed building surveys, providing insights into hard-to-reach areas that traditional inspections might miss. This combination of boutique service and rigorous professionalism ensures that every survey, valuation, or lease negotiation is delivered with total accuracy.
