Landview Surveyors Named Finalists for Two SME National Business Awards 2026 Categories

Landview Surveyors has been shortlisted as a finalist in two categories at the 2026 SME National Business Awards, being recognised for both Service Excellence and Best Business Under 50 Employees.

The recognition marks the second consecutive year that Landview Surveyors has been shortlisted for the SME National Business Awards, following its finalist recognition at the awards in 2025. For the RICS-regulated residential surveying firm, the two nominations recognise both sides of its continued development: its commitment to delivering an exceptional experience for homebuyers and the wider growth and performance of the business.

Landview Surveyors shortlisted for Service Excellence

The Service Excellence category reflects one of the core principles behind Landview Surveyors: putting the client at the centre of the residential surveying process. Buying a property is one of the biggest financial commitments most people will make. A professional property survey can identify defects, potential risks and areas requiring further investigation, but Landview believes that providing a survey is only part of the service. The company has developed its approach around making residential surveys easier for clients to understand, combining professional surveying expertise with clear communication and accessible support. Landview's surveyors explain their findings in straightforward language and help clients understand the potential implications of defects rather than simply presenting technical information. Clients can also speak directly with their surveyor following their inspection and report, giving them an opportunity to ask questions about the property's condition and understand the findings before making decisions about their purchase. This emphasis on communication, accessibility and client support has become an important part of Landview's approach to residential property surveying.

Recognition as one of the UK's leading businesses under 50 employees

Landview Surveyors has also been shortlisted for Best Business Under 50 Employees, recognising the company's wider achievements as a growing SME. Since being established, Landview has developed from a small surveying practice into an established RICS-regulated residential surveying firm conducting thousands of property surveys each year. The business has invested heavily in developing its surveying team, training, technology and internal operations while continuing to focus on maintaining a personal service for clients. Its services include RICS Level 2 and Level 3 residential property surveys, helping homebuyers

understand the condition and potential risks associated with properties before completing their purchase. The company operates with employed surveyors and office teams across its regional operations, allowing it to combine the expertise of a growing national business with a more personal approach to customer service. Second consecutive year as SME National Business Awards finalists Being shortlisted for the SME National Business Awards for a second consecutive year is a significant milestone for Landview Surveyors. The SME National Business Awards recognise businesses across the UK that demonstrate strong performance, innovation, growth and contribution within their respective sectors. For Landview, returning to the finalist stage provides recognition of the progress made by the business while highlighting the importance of maintaining its service standards as the company continues to grow.

David Coplin-Chard, Director of Landview Surveyors, said:

"To be shortlisted for two categories at the SME National Business Awards for a second consecutive year is a fantastic achievement for everyone at Landview. “Service Excellence is particularly important to us because our business has always been built around the client. Buying a home can be stressful enough without being presented with a surveying report that is difficult to understand or navigate. We want our clients to feel that they have a surveyor they can speak to, who will explain what we've found and help them understand what it means for their purchase.” “Being shortlisted for Best Business Under 50 Employees is equally rewarding because it recognises the wider team and the journey we've been on as a business. We've grown significantly, but we've worked hard to make sure that growth doesn't come at the expense of the personal service that helped us build the company in the first place.” “To be finalists again this year is a real credit to the entire Landview team, and we're looking forward to celebrating with the other finalists at the awards.”

Combining RICS surveying expertise with exceptional client care

Landview Surveyors' approach is based on the belief that a residential survey should do more than identify defects.

For homebuyers, understanding the condition of a property is an important part of making an informed purchasing decision. A survey can highlight issues that may require further investigation, repair or consideration before proceeding with a purchase. Landview's surveyors therefore focus on providing clear, practical information alongside their professional assessment of the property. The company's customer-first approach extends beyond the inspection itself, with support available after the report has been issued so that clients can discuss their findings with their surveyor. This combination of RICS-regulated surveying expertise, clear reporting and personal client support remains central to Landview's continued growth.

What the SME National Business Awards recognition means for Landview

While awards are an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the business, the Landview team sees the recognition as an endorsement of the people behind the company. From its surveyors carrying out inspections to the office teams supporting clients before and after their surveys, the business relies on everyone contributing to the overall customer experience. Being shortlisted in both Service Excellence and Best Business Under 50 Employees recognises these two important elements of the company's identity. As Landview continues to grow, its focus remains on investing in its people, improving its technology and processes, and maintaining the personal approach that has helped establish the business as a trusted residential surveying firm.

The winners of the 2026 SME National Business Awards will be announced at the national awards ceremony later this year.
