About Jemade Palmer

Property Done Properly.

Led by a Chartered Building Engineer regulated by RICS. Based in Guildford. Working across Surrey and Berkshire.

Why We Started Doing This


A surveyor's job is to tell you what is wrong with a building and what to do about it. Most reports do not do that. They list everything that could possibly be wrong, recommend further investigation on each one, and leave you to work out which findings matter and which do not.



Jemade Palmer was founded to do the job properly. That means showing up on site personally for every inspection, taking the time to understand what the client is actually trying to decide, and being on the phone after the survey to answer questions in plain English.

We carry out every survey personally


Uzoma carries out every survey personally. No subcontractors, no associates, no junior surveyors. The person who inspected the property is the person who writes the report and the person who calls you to talk it through.

Aerial photography on every inspection


A telescopic pole camera reaches chimneys, roofs, and gutters that a ladder cannot. The photographs go in the report so you can see what was found rather than reading about it.

A phone call before the written report


We telephone you within a day or two of the inspection to discuss what was found, what to act on, and what can wait. The written report follows by email within five working days. The phone call is part of the survey, not an extra.

Who We Work With

We work with people who are about to make a significant decision about a property and want it grounded in evidence rather than guesswork.
