Background
We are a RICS Regulated Firm operating within London and the South East, undertaking residential surveys and valuations.
Farrow & Gould Chartered Surveyors was formed to provide clients with the best service as our practising surveyors come from the corporate sector of residential survey and valuation and bring a wealth of experience through working at the largest residential surveying firms in the UK. This means they have significant experience working for multiple clients and lenders.
This corporate experience enables us to provide competent and efficient Home Surveys and Valuations within the setting of a small and traditional residential surveying firm that are better positioned to provide a personalised service.
You will always speak to the surveyor that undertook your Home Survey inspection and produced the report, both before and after the survey has taken place. We will make all the arrangements to access the property with vendors and estate agents and keep you updated.
All professional work is carried out by RICS surveyors and all our valuation work is carried out by RICS Registered Valuers.

RICS Registered Valuers
A RICS Registered Valuer has been approved by the RICS to provide Residential Valuations and has agreed to an independent system of regulatory monitoring, which includes registering as a valuer from which point the RICS begins monitoring them as soon as they sign up for the Registered Valuer scheme.
Residential Valuation is one of the key RICS practices and Valuer Registration is the key quality assurance mechanism allowing the RICS to monitor valuers who carry out 'Red Book' valuations ensuring their standards are maintained and consistent.
By appointing a RICS Registered Valuer, you can be confident that you are working with regulated and qualified professionals who:
- Adhere to the 'Red Book' valuation standards
- Are committed to openness and transparency
- Are experts in their field, delivering credible and high-quality reports
In essence, the RICS Registered Valuer accreditation ensures the continued quality of valuations, it raises the credibility of valuers and provides clients with a clearly identifiable designation of international standards, quality and the consistent application of 'Red Book' standards.
