Services
Our Surveyors are Chartered through the RICS with the qualification MRICS or FRICS and have the knowledge, skills and understanding to undertake valuations on residential and commercial property competently. We have worked within the region for many years and have witnessed both boom and bust economic times.
I do want to take this opportunity to thank you for the absolutely professional and extremely pleasant manner in which you have dealt with me and I shall most definitely recommend your firm to anyone needing a thorough and competent building survey. I just thought that I would let you know that using your survey as ammunition has just secured the reduction in sale price I wanted.
With a decade and a half of experience in both public and private sectors, Roger has worked extensively in the regeneration, town planning and heritage field. Roger can offer planning advice on residential or commercial projects, with a specialism in the maximisation of value through effective urban design.

Having used JRB on a number of occasions now we have found Andrew and James to be extremely professional, quick and efficient. They always act in their clients best interests and offer good customer service. Their reports are clear and they are always happy to talk through any concerns and offer further advice. I can't recommend them highly enough.

If you require a valuation report to redeem a help to buy loan I wouldnt use any other company and I wouldn't listen to any other reviews. The company especially James Burke clearly is an expert and the company as a whole has dealt with my case with expertise and knowledge. I would recommend JRB Chartered Surveyors!

My husband and I were worried about buying an investment property so we employed James Burke who was a fantastic help to us in making our decision on what defects we needed to fix. His survey was very thorough and detailed everything we wanted to know. He was on hand to discuss the survey afterwards and was very professional. We would highly recommend JRB surveyors when you are thinking of buying.

No need to make an appointment; James Burke just values your home based on the lowest Zoopla sale price.
Arrived un-announced trying to aggressively make his way though my 18 year old daughter who was home alone.
On a then scheduled 9am appointment, he arrived at 08:05am.
He then down valued my home based purely on the unorthodox property value of a neighbouring property sold to a builder; not in any professionals opinion a comparable.
