Chartered Surveyors

Desbruslais Chartered Surveyors, the listed and period property experts.

We are experts in pre-purchase surveys of premium, high value and complex property throughout London and the Home Counties with specific emphasis on listed buildings, period property and country estates.

Our surveyors combine their knowledge of building pathology, architectural history and conservation in their advice on these magnificent buildings. Our inspections are in depth and our reports are comprehensive yet concise, clear and informative. Our reports are pragmatic and we avoid unnecessary caveats and alarm, so our clients can proceed with their negotiations fully informed by experienced professionals.

We produce Archaeological Interpretative Surveys on historic buildings, usually pre-1800. These assess the origin and development of a building through time, often prepared for interested property owners keen to know more about the fascinating history of their home, or as part of an application for listed building consent to alter or extend.

We are also entrusted to undertake surveys on contemporary buildings, often with complex methods of modern construction and services installations, some of which have been featured on the Channel Four television show Grand Designs.

First time buyers will benefit from the knowledge and experience our surveyors offer as they are guided through the process of buying their new home.
