Providing a comprehensive and specialised range of services for property owners and occupiers in the region is just one of the reasons why Rural Property Services has established itself as one of the North East's most progressive firms of chartered surveyors.

The company has been in operation since 2000 but brings with it more than 20 years of experience, offering you a professional and personal service which uses the latest technology while respecting rural traditions.

As a firm of Chartered Surveyors we are regulated by RICS and comply fully with their professional standards. A copy of our Professional Indemnity cover can be provided on request.

At RPS staff development is a priority and we achieved Investors in People accreditation in 2004.
