Madeleys Chartered Surveyors in short

Madeleys Chartered Surveyors is a Much Wenlock practice advising estates, farmers, landlords and rural property owners. The practice calls itself Rural Chartered Surveyors. One office covers tenancy law, compensation, planning, grants and valuations, with a named team and a free consultation offer. An active limited company has stood behind the practice for well over a decade, and the firm holds an RICS register listing.

The working patch is the Shropshire countryside rather than Telford estates: farm sales and tenancies, estate management, rural planning prospects and agricultural valuations, all from the High Street office with its local phone number and email. The team page names the advisers, so clients know who they are instructing. Our view: a single rural office doing this many jobs under one roof is a rare find in a table dominated by house-survey names.

Madeleys Chartered Surveyors carries a perfect Google rating from only a handful of reviews. The three ratings all award top marks, which is encouraging as far as it goes, but that is a tiny base, so it says almost nothing either way; our view of the firm rests on its rural spread and its checkable record instead. Few reviews does not mean poor work.

What counts against Madeleys Chartered Surveyors is openness on money: the site publishes no fees, no VAT position and no insurance details.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Madeleys suits you if your brief is rural — a farm, an estate or agricultural land — rather than a standard house purchase [1] [2]. The RICS listing and the 2010 company record support that picture, with three top-mark reviews behind it [3] [4] [5]. Published fees and insurance details are absent.

Questions about Madeleys Chartered Surveyors

Is Madeleys Chartered Surveyors any good?

On the evidence, yes for rural briefs: a Much Wenlock team covering tenancy, compensation, planning, grants and valuations, an RICS register listing, and a company record stretching back well over a decade. Its handful of Google reviews all award top marks, but that base is tiny. Judge the advisers on the consultation.

Is Madeleys Chartered Surveyors on the RICS register?

Yes. The firm holds an RICS register listing for its Much Wenlock office, checked this September, and describes itself as Rural Chartered Surveyors on its own website. Check the register listing against the name on the instruction letter before going further. The listing is the entry to trust over any wording on the firm's own pages.

What does Madeleys Chartered Surveyors charge?

It publishes no fee scale, rates or VAT position; the site offers a free consultation by phone instead of prices. Rural fees turn on the brief, so the written terms do the talking. Ask for the fee basis, the VAT position and the scope of advice before instructing. Take the free consultation first and get the scope agreed afterwards.

Where does Madeleys Chartered Surveyors work?

The practice works from High Street in Much Wenlock with a local phone number and email address. The team page names its staff and coverage. Rural coverage turns on the brief as much as the postcode, so describe the land as well as the buildings. Send the holding or property details to confirm it handles the parish and the brief.

How is Madeleys Chartered Surveyors ranked?

It ranks second of the ten surveyors in our September round, chosen for rural, farm and estate advice. A handful of top-mark reviews support it without proving much. No other firm in the round matches its countryside spread. Read the full review, then take the free consultation first to judge the team.

How do I get a quote from Madeleys Chartered Surveyors?

Start with the free consultation by phone, describing the holding, the tenancies and what advice is wanted. The firm then sets out the fee basis for the brief. Get the scope of advice, the fee basis and the VAT position agreed afterwards. Compare the terms with one rival rural practice before instructing.

What do customers say about Madeleys Chartered Surveyors?

Almost nothing in public: a perfect Google rating from only a handful of reviews, too small a base to prove anything either way. Our review rests instead on the rural spread, the named team and the checkable company record. Treat the free consultation as the real evidence and judge the advisers directly.
