Founded in 1858 Symonds & Sampson is steeped in the South West’s rural history. Over the past 40 years the firm has grown significantly to the current 12 office practice with professionally qualified staff covering all aspects of rural business.

Despite the many changes we have witnessed over recent years, the British countryside requires ever more careful management. Symonds & Sampson believe that a strong agricultural industry remains the keystone to both a prosperous and vibrant countryside, and our multi-disciplined firm of chartered surveyors, auctioneers and estate agents is here to provide a continually updating range of services and expertise on a wide range of relevant issues.

As one of the UK's leading independent agricultural, residential and commercial property auctioneers, we regularly auction farms and land as well as pedigree and commercial livestock, tractors and farm machinery. Together with handling the sale of all property types by private treaty or tender.

We value enormously our relationship with the farming community, offering a genuinely personalised service and are committed to ensuring best practise. Following the introduction of the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) in January 2015 the team have continued to expand their wealth of expert, practical knowledge on the subject and are on hand to provide advice for farming clients.

As a firm of regional Chartered Surveyors we have a broad knowledge of all relevant legislation and planning policies to represent your views and inform our clients on a range of issues from diversification, redevelopment of redundant farm buildings, to promoting land use opportunities in your area to ensure that a prospect is not lost.

Symonds & Sampson offer a range of further services including negotiating on behalf of farmers and landowners with regards to Wayleaves, Easements and Compulsory Purchase, together with providing property valuations for all purposes.
