About Us

Cottrells Property is an independent property and planning consultancy providing surveying, valuation, estate and land agency, planning and development advice across Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire.

Founded in 2025 by Chartered Surveyor Alexander Chapman MRICS, Cottrells Property was established to provide clients with high-quality, independent advice built around professionalism, integrity and continuity.

In October 2026, Chartered Town Planner Beth Deacon-Bates MRTPI AssocRICS joined the business as Planning Director, expanding Cottrells’ services to include specialist planning and development consultancy.

Together, Alexander and Beth bring complementary expertise across property, land and planning, allowing Cottrells to provide joined-up advice from the earliest stages of a project. From valuations, property and land sales and rural consultancy to site appraisals, planning applications and development strategy, clients benefit from practical advice informed by both the property and planning considerations affecting their project.

We combine professional expertise and modern technology with a traditional, personal approach. Clients work directly with experienced professionals who understand their property, objectives and circumstances, providing clear and straightforward advice from start to finish.
