Graeme Lewis was a chartered surveyor with Rylands & Rylands who came to survey 11 Coronation Street in June 2004. He explained to bemused tenant Eileen Grimshaw that he'd been instructed to carry out a survey on behalf of the purchaser - Beaumont Estates - and, after letting him into the property, Eileen and her son Todd quickly came to realise that landlord Steve McDonald had sold the roof over their heads without informing them. Credited as "Surveyor", the character's full name was given in dialogue.
