Chartered Surveyor, Registered Valuer, and Chairman of Independent Surveyors and Valuers Association (ISVA), Ian Vicary has worked in the property business for over 25 years. Ian started work in Hampshire for the civil service (Defence Land Agency). On qualification, he moved to Tavistock, Devon, working a small multi-disciplined practice. There he picked up experience in a range of areas, before deciding to specialise in survey and valuation work. He then went on to work for corporate surveying companies in Devon and Dorset, building up a great deal of local knowledge and experience in a range of different styles of property and construction.
During this time, owing to a keen interest in the care and repair of historic buildings, Ian completed a postgraduate diploma in Architectural Conservation Pg. Dip (Arch Cons.) at Plymouth University. Ian then set up Wessex Surveyors in 2006 to focus on the best service to clients, with specialist knowledge of period and listed buildings.
