Chartered surveyors in Shropshire
2 RICS surveyors covering 6 towns and 10 postcode districts across Shropshire. RICS Home Survey Level 2 and Level 3, and RICS Residential Valuation.
Shrewsbury and Telford between them account for almost all the reports we have issued in Shropshire, in nearly equal measure, and they could hardly set up two more different jobs: the historic county town on the Severn on one side, and on the other a new town grown over the Shropshire Coalfield with one of the youngest housing mixes we survey. Across the county two thirds of the housing post-dates 1965, the youngest profile of any county we cover, while the interwar layer barely exists, with under one home in ten built between 1900 and 1939. That pushes the work towards build quality, warranties, glazing and the standard of later alterations, with ground stability added where Telford, Shifnal and Newport sit over former workings. The Severn appears in the flood picture of every town we cover in the county, so the river’s designations are confirmed as a first step rather than a footnote. Our Shropshire file stands at 42 reports since 2023 and is growing.

What Shropshire's housing is made of.
Valuation Office Agency records around the 6 towns we cover in Shropshire, weighted by stock. The age of a house decides what a survey looks for first, so this mix is the county's casework in outline.
- 2000 onwards27.5%
- 1965–198222.3%
- 1983–199917.4%
- 1945–196414%
- Pre-190010.7%
The largest stocks sit around Telford, Shrewsbury and Shifnal.
3 of our Shropshire towns sit over the Shropshire Coalfield, so mining history is a standing question there and we say plainly when a Coal Authority report is worth commissioning.
Flood mapping is checked on every instruction here, and it earns its keep: the Environment Agency maps run thickest around Shrewsbury (9 designated areas nearby), Telford (7 designated areas nearby), Albrighton (6 designated areas nearby).
Where we work in Shropshire
Every town below has its own page, with the local housing stock, flood catchments and ground conditions a survey there has to account for. The era shown is the largest share of housing within 2.4km of each town centre, from Valuation Office Agency records.
