Meet the highly experienced team of chartered surveyors who have helped hundreds of Coventry property buyers make truly informed decisions.
Coventry Surveyor was built on a simple idea: property buyers in Coventry deserve honest, expert guidance — not a stack of jargon-filled paperwork that tells them nothing useful.
Our founder, James Whitmore, started his career at a national surveying firm in Birmingham before moving to Coventry and recognising a gap. Too many buyers in the city were either skipping surveys entirely or receiving rushed, template reports that failed to capture the real condition of a property. He set out to change that.
Today, Coventry Surveyor is one of the most trusted chartered surveyor practices in the Midlands — covering everything from Victorian terraces in Earlsdon to new-build apartments in the city centre, farmhouses in Warwickshire and commercial properties across the region.
We specialise in residential and commercial property surveys, with extensive experience of the unique building stock across Coventry, Warwick, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth and beyond. Our team has surveyed properties ranging from £70,000 starter flats to £2.5 million country estates.
These aren't just words on a wall. They're the principles that guide every single survey we carry out.
No hidden fees. No vague language. We tell you exactly what we found, what it means and what it's likely to cost — so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
All our surveyors maintain active accreditation under RICS, CIOB and/or RPSA. We invest heavily in continuous professional development to stay current with evolving building standards.
We don't just write surveys — we provide expert guidance and support to help you understand exactly what you're buying. If a property is a risk, we'll tell you clearly and concisely.
We know property chains move fast. Our prompt and professional service means your survey is booked quickly and your report delivered within 3–5 working days — without sacrificing quality.
Every client receives a complimentary post-survey call to discuss the findings and answer questions. We believe a survey should be a conversation — not just a document.
We have extensive experience of the specific property types, building materials and ground conditions found across Coventry and Warwickshire — knowledge that national firms simply don't have.
Our team combines decades of experience in residential surveying and commercial property inspection across Coventry, Warwickshire and the Midlands.
Founder & Principal Surveyor
James founded Coventry Surveyor after 12 years working across the West Midlands property market. With a sharp eye for structural defects and a gift for plain-English explanations, he has helped hundreds of buyers avoid unexpected repair costs and make truly well-informed purchasing decisions. Outside of work, James is a passionate Coventry City FC supporter and keen amateur builder.
Senior Residential Surveyor
Sarah brings ten years of experience in residential surveying to the team, with a particular specialism in Victorian and Edwardian properties. She joined Coventry Surveyor after several years with a national firm and says she hasn't looked back. "I love being part of a team that genuinely cares about giving clients the full picture," she says. Sarah is based in Kenilworth and covers the southern Warwickshire patch.
Commercial & Residential Surveyor
Marcus covers both domestic and commercial property across Coventry, Rugby and the surrounding area. With extensive experience of retail units, office conversions and industrial properties, he also carries out fire risk assessments and schedule of condition reports. He's known amongst clients for his thorough approach and no-nonsense advice.
When you instruct a surveyor, their qualifications matter enormously. Anyone can claim to offer property services — but only those accredited under rigorous professional standards can use the RICS, CIOB or RPSA designation.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) is the world's leading professional body for property and construction. RICS members must meet strict education, experience and ethical requirements, and are subject to ongoing regulation. When you choose a RICS accredited surveyor in Coventry, you're protected by a professional code of conduct and a client money protection scheme.
Our team also holds accreditation under the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) — particularly relevant for structural surveys — and the Residential Property Surveyors Association (RPSA), which champions high standards specifically in residential surveying.
James was absolutely brilliant. He took the time to explain every finding in the report and followed up with a detailed phone call. We never felt like just a number. Truly personal service from a highly experienced surveyor.
Sarah surveyed our Edwardian semi in Leamington Spa and her knowledge of period properties was exceptional. She spotted issues that two other surveyors had missed. An outstanding professional and a real asset to the Coventry Surveyor team.
Marcus handled the commercial survey for our offices in Rugby. Very thorough, extremely knowledgeable and the report gave us everything we needed for our lender. Clear and concise — exactly what we needed. Highly recommended.
