WHAT WE DO

What Your Estate Agent Hopes You Never Ask

At MKN Surveyors, we offer a complete range of building surveying and valuation services tailored to your specific needs.

Did you know that most property buyers discover serious issues only after they've completed their purchase?

Our expertise spans both English and French property markets, giving you access to professional insights wherever your property journey takes you.



Each service is delivered with the same commitment to quality, clarity and professional standards.

England Services

MKN Surveyors began in 2016, but our journey started years before.

Matt Noble built his career working for a Yorkshire country estate before pursuing his professional qualifications at Reading University. In 2014, Matt and Kay moved to France, where Matt worked for one of the largest English-speaking estate agents in the country.

This unique experience revealed a gap in the market – English-speaking property buyers in France struggled to find qualified surveyors who understood both cultures.



After returning to Yorkshire in 2016, we established MKN Surveyors to bridge this gap. Today, we serve clients across Yorkshire and throughout France, combining local knowledge with international expertise.

France Services

Finding qualified English-speaking surveyors in France can be challenging. We bridge this gap with our cross-border expertise and bilingual capabilities.

Did you know that standard French diagnostic reports miss many critical issues that could affect your enjoyment and investment?



Our French services include pre-purchase building surveys, property valuations, and specialised consultancy for international buyers.

Real Results for Real Clients

Client Success Stories

Absolutely outstanding service. We are serial movers and have moved on numerous occasions - we have had to read many survey reports which, to be frank, could have been in Mandarin. This report, however, is extremely clear, well written and informative. It is easy to complain, I much prefer saying a big thank when work has been completed to a high standard. From the first phone call, the instruction, payment and receipt of the report have all been superb.

IAN MCPHERSON

The service was faultless from initial booking to final report. The detail on the report was very clear as was the description out of any remedial works. I have used MKM on previous house purchases and would not hesitate in using them again.
