Cheffins is strengthening its position within the rural sector across the East Anglian region with the appointment of Jonathan Purkiss as Rural Surveyor.

Jonathan joins Cheffins from the Valuation Office Agency, where for the past seven years he held the position of Senior Surveyor. This role involved valuations for National Taxation purposes and compulsory purchase work representing the acquiring authorities. At Cheffins, Jonathan’s focus will be valuations, agency and professional work within the rural team.

Led by Simon Gooderham and Jonathan Stiff, Cheffins’ Rural Professionals team has gone from strength to strength with a number of significant projects in the past year. Cheffins manages an impressive portfolio of rural holdings as well as being involved in a series of some of the region’s key land and property sales.

Simon Gooderham, joint managing partner, Cheffins comments:

“Jonathan has a wealth of experience in the rural sector and his appointment will reinforce Cheffins’ position as one of the leading land agency teams in East Anglia.”

Jonthan Purkiss, Associate, Cheffins comments:

“Cheffins has a diverse mix of clients, and I am looking forward to getting involved in a series of projects across the region. Within my new role I will be able to use my experience gained in the public sector to advise clients on rural matters. The firm has a fantastic reputation, and I am pleased to join this already well-established team.”
