About Moses Rutland Chartered Surveyors
Moses Rutland Chartered Surveyors advises private and corporate clients on residential and commercial property matters across Dorset, Hampshire and south Wiltshire. We are an RICS Regulated Firm, and all our valuers are RICS Registered Valuers, so every report we produce is backed by recognised professional standards and independent expertise.
We believe property advice should be personal. Many clients come to us because they want to speak directly to a friendly, approachable surveyor rather than work through a call centre or faceless online service. From your first enquiry to the follow-up after your report is delivered, you will deal with a qualified professional who takes the time to understand what you actually need.
Local knowledge sets us apart. Our surveyors have lived and worked across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire and genuinely know their patch, from the areas prone to ground movement and subsidence to the older streets and varied building stock found throughout the region. This local insight helps us interpret a property accurately and give advice grounded in real, regional context.
Whether you need a residential survey before a purchase, a commercial valuation for tax or pension purposes, or specialist support with a landlord and tenant matter, our aim is the same: to leave you better informed and confident about your next step.
