Marshalls Chartered Surveyors is a private partnership, formed in 1979 by David Marshall in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. The company was initially involved in quality professional services, estate agency and financial services.

Marshalls prospered during the boom years of the 1980's, but the retirement of the financial services partner saw this successful area of the business sold, at what proved later to be the peak of the market.

Marshalls estate agency business suffered during the 1990's recession and the decision was made to concentrate solely on quality professional survey services. This proved to be a winning formula, as there was and still is, a great demand for completely impartial quality survey advice. Not being involved in a sales chain, nor offering insurance or mortgage products gives clients the reassurance that they will receive completely impartial advice. Unlike some, Marshalls never give or receive, introductory commissions.

David Marshall retired in 1998, but continues as a consultant to the practice. David Blomley and Richard Foulkes joined the partnership and the business continued to grow with new offices opened in Witney and Newbury. Mark Shirley joined as a full partner in 2002.

After 27 years based in Abingdon, January 2006 saw us bid a fond farewell to the town and complete a move to a new head office in Oxford. Situated close to the City and Ring Road, we are ideally placed to continue giving our clients the top quality service they expect and deserve.

The practice is forward looking and plans further expansion. We have opened a new branch in the growing town of Didcot and appointed a new partner, Richard Mawer, to push forward our plans for further growth.
