Customer Reviews
Identified major roof defect
The building survey identified significant roof structure defects that would have cost £15,000+ to repair. We negotiated a substantial reduction in the purchase price. This survey paid for itself many times over.
Exceptional service from start to finish
From the first phone call to receiving the report, every aspect of the service was excellent. The surveyor's knowledge of Victorian construction was clear throughout the report. Repair cost estimates were realistic and useful for planning.

Incredibly detailed Level 3 survey
Bought an 1890s Victorian terrace and wanted a thorough survey. This report was exceptional — 48 pages covering every element of the property, detailed photos, clear explanations and repair cost estimates. Worth every penny and more.
Saved us from a bad purchase
The survey revealed structural movement and serious damp issues that the vendor had not disclosed. On the strength of the report we pulled out of the purchase. Money extremely well spent — could have saved us from a nightmare.
Thorough and clearly presented report
Had a Level 3 survey on an Edwardian semi. The surveyor was on site for nearly 5 hours — very thorough. Report arrived in 6 days and was detailed, clear and well-organised. The follow-up call to discuss findings was very helpful.
