THE magnificent setting of the Bowes Museum was the ideal venue for the launch of a new business for a Teesdale based chartered surveyor.

Jonathan Wallis, from Barnard Castle, specialises in providing advice on rural and specialist commercial property and business matters. From professional property valuations to advice on landlord and tenant matters, Jonathan has a wealth of knowledge and experience.

His new self-named business, Jonathan Wallis Chartered Surveyors, has been set up to provide independent advice on selling and purchase of rural and commercial property, rural grants and subsidies, and the promotion of land for development. Jonathan, who previously worked for two of the region’s largest estate agents is looking forward to the challenges ahead.

“Working for myself allows me to concentrate on getting everything right for my clients. I’ve a wealth of experience that I’ll use to ensure that I deliver a personal and effective service based on knowledge and customer service.”
