Our Services...


Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors - Regulated by RICS

Bondstones (Chartered Surveyors) is a Town & Country Planning and Architectural Design practice - working throughout the Southern counties of England.  

We are extremely proud to be 'Regulated by the RICS' - this means we are a professionally qualified and regulated practice - bound by a code of conduct, strict rules and regulations. This means that we will only undertake work which is directly within our field(s) of expertise and that we are also fully insured (both Professional Indemnity and Public / Employers Liability).

​We are passionate about architecture and the countryside, its' sustainable future and the protection / re-use of rural buildings: as such we offer our professional expertise to satisfy a range of rural property issues, including (but not limited to): Town & Country Planning (Planning Consultancy) and Architectural Design / Building Design (Architecture).  Our primary interest being sustainable projects for the 'change of use' of buildings & land.

We aim to operate a tight ship with low overheads and zero debt (we run an almost entirely paperless office) working with the latest computer software to provide the best possible service to our clients.  Our 3D building design capability enables fast visualisation of our work and a seamless continuity between all levels of our design output.

Despite our cutting edge offer and market leading output quality, our services are available to all of our customers at surprisingly low rates (compared to our competitors).  OK, its fair to say you will always find someone cheaper... but isn't that always the way!  You won't find us on the high street (ever) and we'll always meet our clients at their own premises (for their convenience) - in other words we work for our customers - not for our accountants!

We generally undertake work for:
  • Farmers & Farm Businesses
  • Rural Estates / Estate Managers
  • Equestrian Properties & Businesses
  • Home / Property Owners*
  • Tourism Entrepreneurs
  • Countryside Attractions & Recreation Sites

* Please note that 'small' extensions are not really our cup of tea... However if necessary we would be happy to refer you to a suitable 3rd party specialist.

That said, large, unique extensions and complete 'one off' domestic overhauls really do float our boat... so please get in touch!
