How I help
Running a surveying practice means carrying a lot on your own: insurance, terms, regulation, risk, and the occasional unhappy client. I've spent my career inside residential surveying, so I understand the pressures from every side.
For your practice, I help you make sound decisions with confidence, and with people who understand, through the Mastermind.
When something goes wrong, I help you work out what happened, what it means and what to do next, calmly and fairly, through a one-to-one Clarity Session.
For the profession, I write and speak about what needs to change, and I take that work into the rooms where decisions are made.
I help people untangle complex situations, understand their options, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
I WANT TO
Whatever brought you here,
there's a way forward.
Deal with a complaint wellÂ
When a complaint lands, the first few days matter most. Together we'll work out what happened, what it means for you, and what to do next. Calm, confidential and independent, with follow-up included.
Understand what's changing in surveying
Survey standards, reform, consumer protection and the rise of AI are all reshaping the profession. My writing explains what's changing, why it matters, and what it means for your practice.
Run my practice with support around me
A small group of self-employed surveyors who meet fortnightly to talk through the decisions that come with running a practice, with guest experts and honest conversation. Join whenever the time is right.
WORK WITH ME
Speaking and Consultancy
Alongside my one-to-one and group work, I take on a small amount of one-off work for firms, organisations and events.
Consultancy: complaints reviews, procedure reviews and practice compliance for surveying firms and organisations.
Speaking: conferences, CPD events and member groups, on complaints, professional standards and the future of residential surveying.
If you have something in mind, tell me a little about it and I'll let you know whether I can help.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I'm Marion Ellis FRICS, C.Build E MCABE
For over twenty years I've worked alongside residential surveyors on the parts of the job nobody trains you for: running a sound practice, handling complaints fairly, and holding to good standards when the system around you doesn't make it easy.
I've spent my career inside residential surveying: in senior leadership at a national surveying organisation, on RICS Governing Council, and for the last nine years running Love Surveying. I'm independent, I work directly with every client, and I don't sell surveys or software. I don't take commission or referral fees. What I care about is simple: surveying done properly, for everyone's sake.
