“Cowboy surveyors. Spent 10 minutes inspecting the property on a level 3! Thankfully ring doorbells don't lie :). I've reported these so called 'surveyors' to the RICS and property ombudsman. Completely unprofessional.”

“Great service by Hugh who carried out a building survey on a house we were about to buy, noted a drain smell within the property and recommended a drain survey. Well spotted as we had on carried out and found all the sewer drains had collapsed.”

“I dealt with them as a Building Surveyor to buy my first home in Britain. I really can't thank them enough. They are friendly, very competent, and accurate. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a Building Surveyor”

“Friendly, knowledgeable, very helpful and extremely thorough. Using Chartex has, without doubt, saved us a lot of money and heartache!”

“Needed a Chartered Surveyor for the Quinquennial Survey on our house in Staveley for our Mortgage Lender. Found Chartex through "Local Building Surveyors". Carla was very helpful & efficient from the outset. Hugh the Surveyor was prompt & conducted a thorough Survey. The fee was fair & maybe below the average. Excellent service throughout.”

“I have been utterly impressed with the service I have had from Chartex from start to finish. I was recommended them and they haven’t disappointed. The communications has been spot on snd the speed at which the survey was turned around was beyond my expectations, I had the report the very same day as the survey; and it gave me a thorough level of detail to allow me to make a very informed decision. Thanks to Hugh and Carla, I will be recommending you for sure!”

“I needed a help to buy report quickly as I had a very short deadline to exchange contracts for my new property. After being let down by another company I sent Chartex and a few other companies an email, Carla responded almost immediately with a quotation, availability and advice- this was even out of working hours. She came back to any queries I had promptly and professionally. I am still waiting to hear back from other companies! My valuation was booked and Hugh issued the report on the same day as it was completed. Chartex was not the cheapest price for what I needed however great service is definitely worth paying that little bit more for. I would definitely recommend Chartex to anyone needing to use their services. Thank you again and thank you for going that extra mile.”

“Hugh's report was extremely thorough, and he made himself available for no less than 3 follow up calls afterwards to clarify sections I was unsure about and answer additional questions I had (he was clear he was happy to take more calls if I needed). Ultimately, Hugh's inspection revealed issues with the property that I was not aware of, which would have costed me upwards of £15,000 to fully remediate - I am very glad these were found before purchasing the property! Following that, Carla provided me with invaluable advice in how to approach my follow up conversations with the vendor. I can't think of a single suggestion for how Chartex could improve their service - they were friendly, helpful, and responsive every step of the way, and I had total confidence that they had my best interests at heart from the moment I got in touch with them.”

“Chartex provide an invaluable service! The depth of the building surveys that we have had carried out are second to none. Hugh's explinations are clear and easy to understand and his follow up calls add even more detail. I would not buy a property without having Hugh survey it first as his surveys really give you a comprehensive view of a properties condition. Amazing service! Thanks”

“Chartex provide an excellent service from start to finish. After booking a valuation online, Carla got in touch to confirm a date and was very polite and helpful. Hugh arrived at my house exactly at the time specified and carried out the survey very efficiently. I was shocked to receive the valuation within hours of it being carried out, i expected to wait at least a few days. This meant i could forward the valuation immediately to my solicitors and start the ball rolling. Chartex are certainly the best company to use for this type of service, very accommodating and so efficient... thankyou 🙂”

“We were very impressed with the service we received from Hugh Broadbent. He has done two surveys for us and we would definitely recommend him. He was very thorough, his reports arrived quickly and were very clearly written and he has been happy to answer our questions.”

“Excellent, detailed, concise survey allowing us to make an informed decision about the property based on its current condition and the potential cost to get the property up to standard. I would recommend Chartex to anyone.”

“if you're getting a survey of a house you're about to buy, then they'll certainly identify some problems for you to lower the price. They were incredibly quick (l figured l paid about £10 per minute) and did give a lot of information very quickly. But their assessment (you need to do a lot of incredibly expensive renovations pretty urgently) did not agree with what contractors have said, and they didn't actually do the level of inspection l wanted. Maybe this is standard for surveyors - in which case l'm in the wrong job.”

A surveyor's approach is to deal with the facts and suggest long term solutions. I am sorry you did not value his expert and professional opinion, but instead, you chose to denigrate his invaluable advice. The two feet of standing water in the basement is a fact and urgently requires remedying as do the advanced rotting and woodworm activity in floors and joists on the ground floors which are unsafe. The surveyor explained that your suggestion of addressing the problem by insulating the floors, no matter how much money it saved, was not the answer. So please don't change your career path just yet. The surveyor gave you sensible solutions to address the serious problems you have with your property and also spent time explaining everything. Besides, you declined a written report from the surveyor and decided to take your own notes, another cheaper option which may not have paid off?

“Really rate this company. Very efficient back office, good communication. They did two surveys for me. Report back same day and were available pretty much immediately to discuss any queries. Highly recommend.”

“Prompt survey , and communication”

“Detailed report following through inspection of property. Free telephone consultation after to discuss. Some issues during booking process but overall happy with service provided. Thank you.”

“Polite, friendly and efficient is the best description of this company. Communication before and after the survey was good and things explained to me very clearly. Would have no hesitation in using this company again.”

“Chartex were very clean cut from the start. They saw my property within a week on the 17th and a full report landed in my emails by 6pm the same day. Even my estate agent remarked upon the speed of my Surveyor. It read through very easily and I’ve still the offer to chat with the Surveyor with any queries I have regarding the report and their findings. Stress free service. Thank you Chartex”

“Very pleased with the service provided. The survey was emailed the same day and was very helpful. I would use Chartex again if needed.”

“Very accommodating, very reasonably priced and incredibly quick turnaround time. Much faster than any other survey I've used over the past few years.”
