Townsend Chartered Surveyors

Townsend Chartered Surveyors, founded in 1992, is an independent firm of land agents, valuers, surveyors and estate agents based in Exeter, Devon, offering traditional estate management, rural property management, and consultancy and land agency services to farmers and landowners throughout the UK.

We are also leading national agents for Basic Payment Scheme entitlements (as we were for milk, sheep and beef quota) and are known for our initiative and creativity. As testament to that we now lead the way in advising clients about the new income streams opening up for landowners such as carbon trading and water abstraction licence trading, which is known as “TCS Brokerage” trading these other commodities. This leading national agency role enables us to provide proactive advice on the Basic Payment Scheme and the upcoming replacement subsidy scheme ELM, and the possibilities these provide for our clients.
