About Find a Surveyor

Launched in 2007, Find a Surveyor is RICS’ official online search directory of member firms. It’s used by consumers and by particular surveyors or professionals looking to locate other surveyors of a particular specialism.

Find a Surveyor is powered by the most comprehensive and up-to-date database of its kind in the UK and across the world. Over 40,000 surveying firms are listed within the directory covering every surveying service.

Find a Surveyor lists firms which provide an independent surveying service to the public or business and employ at least one qualified Chartered Surveyor or Associate RICS member. RICS believes the public and business are best served by choosing a RICS regulated firm. Find a Surveyor only displays surveying firms which are regulated by RICS unless the user chooses to deselect this option.

The website re-launched in 2018 with a fresh look and feel, improved functionality and a greater focus on consumer-based content.
