Why Choose Cockrams Surveyors?
Looking for an independent RICS Chartered Surveyor in Cornwall? Discover why Cockrams Surveyors’ team of MRICS-qualified surveyors, with over 51 years of combined post-qualification experience, are trusted for residential surveys, valuations, commercial property advice and project services.
Buying, selling or altering a property is one of the biggest financial decisions most people will ever make. Choosing the right surveyor is therefore just as important as choosing the right property.
At Cockrams Surveyors, we are proud to be an independent RICS Chartered firm serving clients across Cornwall. Whether you require a Level 2 Home Survey, Level 3 Home Survey, residential valuation, commercial survey, measured survey or contract administration services, our aim is simple: provide clear, impartial advice that helps you make confident property decisions.
Why does this matter? Because not all surveyors offer the same level of qualification or experience.
Every Survey Is Undertaken by an MRICS Chartered Surveyor
One of the biggest differences between Cockrams Surveyors and many firms is that every surveyor carrying out our work is MRICS qualified.
In recent years, many residential surveys have been undertaken by AssocRICS surveyors. While Associate membership demonstrates competence, MRICS status represents a higher level of professional achievement, experience and technical knowledge.
For clients, that means the reassurance that your survey has been completed by a fully Chartered Surveyor who meets the rigorous standards expected by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
Over 51 Years of Combined Post-Qualification Experience
Our surveyors have more than 51 years of combined post-qualification experience across residential and commercial property.
From traditional granite cottages, Listed buildings and coastal homes to modern housing developments and commercial premises, we understand the construction methods, common defects and local issues that affect Cornish properties.
Independent Advice
As an independent practice, our advice is impartial and focused solely on your interests. We explain defects clearly, identify risks, prioritise repairs and answer your questions without unnecessary jargon.

- RICS Level 2 Home Surveys
