Summerfield & Co Property Surveyors

Hello, I’m Ian Summerfield, the founder and principal surveyor of Summerfield and Co, a residential property surveying company that inspects and reports on the condition of a property, and highlights any faults.

Before qualifying as a surveyor, I have worked around the world as a civil engineer. My time in New Zealand after the 2012 earthquakes started my interest in houses. On returning to England, I founded The Party Wall Office, specialising in party wall matters, and at the same I studied for my second degree in Residential Surveying with SAVA and was elected an associate of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), and a member of the Residential Property Surveyors Association (RPSA). I am also self-building a new build house for a family member and enjoying using my technical skills to build the house of the future, minus any Jetson style robots!

I also love to learn and regularly attend webinars and I am a member of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB). I am also a Governor at my local primary school.

When there isn’t a pandemic, I normally enjoy the outdoors lifestyle, spending time out with family and friends, in the New Forest and at the beach
