If you’ve ever wondered what does a rural chartered surveyor do, you’re not alone. Many people assume surveyors only measure boundaries or prepare valuations. And to confuse matters further we are more commonly referred to as Land Agents! In reality, the role of a rural chartered surveyor is far broader than measuring, we blend land management, valuation, planning and strategic advice across farming, leisure and energy projects. At Baileys & Partners, we bring local knowledge, professional expertise and a practical approach to help landowners and businesses make the right decisions for them and their assests.
Our Role in Rural Life
We work with private estates, farmers, businesses and public bodies. Whether you’re exploring farm diversification, considering renewable energy, or dealing with inheritance planning, we provide tailored advice rooted in the realities of rural Wales. Our approach always begins with understanding your goals, so we can deliver practical solutions that add genuine value.
Practical Expertise with Local Roots
Our team combines hands-on farming experience with professional accreditation. We’re RICS-regulated valuers, giving clients confidence that our advice meets the highest standards while being grounded in real-world knowledge. This mix of professional and practical expertise allows us to support projects ranging from land management and valuations to natural capital assessments and compensation claims.
Working Alongside Other Professionals
Rural projects often require a team approach. That’s why we collaborate closely with solicitors, accountants, planners and engineers. Whether it’s providing RICS-compliant valuations for probate, guiding the feasibility of a renewable energy scheme, or helping resolve disputes, our joined-up approach ensures clients get seamless support. We don’t just advise, we pick up the phone (very important!), chat (very, very important!), coordinate and integrate plans so that clients achieve better, more efficient outcomes.
What Makes Us Different
Unlike building surveyors or estate agents, we work across disciplines; valuation, planning, mediation, energy, leisure and more. This broad scope means we see connections others might miss. Our clients value our ability to provide clarity, navigate challenges and deliver solutions that are both innovative and practical
Furthermore, our team have practical knowledge and experience in the sectors that they advise on. Tom for example enjoys all aspects of farm consultancy having established a successful beef unit on Anglesey while Ed takes energy to another level following the successful planning, consenting, build and operating of a hydroelectric system on the farm at home.
A rural chartered surveyor does far more than most people realise. At Baileys and Partners, we’re not just consultants, we’re collaborators committed to helping clients unlock the potential of their land, leisure and energy projects.
If you think we could add value to your plans, we’d love to start a conversation.
