Welcome to the website of Ed Chamberlain Chartered Surveyors.
Specialising in residential property within the South Devon area, we offer a bespoke service in pre-purchase building surveys and RICS home buyer reports.
In 1997 Ed Chamberlain BSc (Hons) MRICS qualified as a Chartered Surveyor and has lived and worked in South Devon since 1993. He began to specialise in the residential sector in 1998 having previously worked primarily as a Chartered Quantity Surveyor (or Building Cost Consultant) gaining valuable experience in both new build and alteration work.
Whilst he has designed numerous home extensions and new builds, he now focuses on condition survey work. His wide ranging experience enables him to offer informal practical design advice that may be useful as part of the decision making process for a property purchase.
Angela Chamberlain BSc (Hons) MRICS qualified in 1995 and has also spent most of her career specialising in residential surveys and valuations, having initially worked for large corporate firms providing valuations for secured lending institutions. Now Angela’s valuation work is mainly for private clients, charities and shared ownership/Help to Buy clients.
Ed and Angela usually carry out each survey together, enabling them to discuss their findings together ready for preparing a detailed report. Once clients have had chance to read the report and look through photographs taken during the survey, Ed and Angela offer a telephone appointment to discuss any key issues any further investigations to be arranged prior to purchase.
Much of Ed and Angela’s work is generated by recommendations from previous clients and local firms of solicitors who like the reports for their clarity and detail.
