What makes MSE so different?

Welcome to Meldrum Salter Edgley LLP (MSE), founded in 1889 and one of the leading independent surveying partnerships in the South of England.

We offer you a one-stop shop for the best property advice and services across the residential and commercial sectors, combining traditional values of personal service and local knowledge with modern techniques and technology.

MSE has been serving property owners in Guildford, Godalming and Cranleigh and the surrounding villages for more than 120 years and is the longest established firm of Chartered Surveyors in the area, currently employing nearly 40 staff in three locations.

The breadth of expertise in the company delivers added value for all our clients. They tell us they enjoy the personal service they receive from people they can trust.

Above all else, we achieve results.

Our operations are conducted under the highest codes of practice as governed by The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and we are proud of our excellent reputation and the fact that more than 70% of our business comes from personal recommendation.

So what makes MSE so different? We deal in property but we concentrate on the people behind those properties, their needs and their objectives. Our focus is on you and how we can give you what you need - not the other way around.

I hope you will take a little time to explore this new website and that you find the information it contains relevant and interesting.

Our most important asset is our people, and any one of my colleagues will be pleased to hear from you. Alternatively, feel free to contact me personally or simply request a call back.

I look forward to hearing from you.
