Madeleys Chartered Surveyors in short

Madeleys Chartered Surveyors is a Much Wenlock practice advising estates, farmers, landlords and rural owners from one multi-disciplinary team. Commercial and agricultural portfolios sit alongside residential work, which suits a rural brief better than a standard purchase. This review rates that rural focus as its defining feature.

Customers rate Madeleys Chartered Surveyors at the top mark on Google, though from a set of only three reviews. Google is the only review source on record. The headline figures flatter at that volume, and the RICS register listing and the long company record beside them.

What counts against it is published detail: no fees, VAT position or insurance details appear on the site, though a free consultation by phone softens that gap. Our judgement: it suits you if your brief is rural rather than residential, with credentials on the register to back the advice.

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]. The RICS listing and the 2010 company record support that picture, with three top-mark reviews behind it [2] [3] [4]. Published fees and insurance details are absent.
