Roche Chartered Surveyors

What Roche Chartered Surveyors does

Roche Chartered Surveyors is a privately held UK commercial property surveying firm headquartered in Norwich that provides integrated advisory across six service lines: agency (retail and leisure, and office and industrial), investment and development, lease advisory, valuation and professional services, and project and building consultancy. The firm serves occupiers, landlords, developers, and investors across the East Anglia region, with active transactions also reported in Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Buckinghamshire, and Bedfordshire. Its client base spans enterprise names including Aviva, Asda, McDonald's, Columbia Threadneedle, HSBC, Barclays, Handelsbanken, Tesco, Amazon, Perenco, Lotus, and JLL, alongside local authorities such as North Norfolk District Council and education-sector clients like Ormiston Academies Trust.

Revenue is generated through two streams: agency commissions on property sales and lettings across office, industrial, retail, and leisure sectors, and professional services fees for valuation, building surveying, project management, lease advisory, and property management mandates. Pricing is per-transaction or per-project and is not publicly disclosed. The firm is licensed as a Chartered Surveyors practice and is an institutional member of RICS, with RICS Registered Valuers producing Red Book-compliant valuations for lender panels including HSBC, Barclays, and Handelsbanken.

The team comprises eight surveyors and three property management and administrative staff, with collective experience of more than 150 years. Notable transactions include brokering a 130,000 sq ft Amazon warehouse letting, a 40,000 sq ft Perenco office letting (the largest single Norwich office letting in a decade), and the 53,000 sq ft Grade A freehold office acquisition that was the firm's largest such deal. The firm has been the EGi-ranked Most Active Retail and Leisure Agent in East Anglia for eight consecutive years and won the 2025 Commercial Property Network Deal of the Year award for the Ellough Industrial Estate disposal.
