RICS Chartered Surveyors — What It Means for You
Not every surveyor is a chartered surveyor. The RICS designation is the highest professional standard in the UK property industry. It means your surveyor has passed rigorous assessments, holds verified qualifications, and is accountable to a governing body with a formal complaints process.
Somerset & Sinclair is fully RICS regulated. Every report we produce meets RICS standards, is backed by professional indemnity insurance, and is legally recognised by solicitors, mortgage lenders and HMRC. That matters when it comes to probate, lease extensions, matrimonial proceedings and mortgage applications.

We Say What We Find
Property is one of the biggest financial decisions most people will ever make. We take that seriously.
Our reports don’t dress things up. If there’s a problem, we’ll tell you what it is, what it means, and what to do about it. No watered-down language, no vague conclusions. Just clear, professional advice from a firm that puts your interests first.
A Team Built on Experience
Our surveyors are fully RICS accredited and between them hold decades of hands-on experience across residential and commercial property. They’ve surveyed everything from first-time buyer flats to listed buildings and large commercial sites.
The team stays sharp. We keep up with changes in building regulations, valuation standards, and market conditions so that every instruction we take on is handled with current, relevant knowledge.

At Home in the London Market
London property is a world of its own. Georgian townhouses, Victorian conversions, Edwardian semis, post-war mansion blocks, and modern new-builds all sit side by side, each with its own quirks, risks, and history.
Our team has worked across London’s boroughs for years. We know the building types, the common defects, and the local market conditions that can affect value and saleability. If you’re buying, selling, or investing in the capital, that knowledge makes a real difference.
