“Booked on Wednesday, survey the following Monday. Great report sent, would certainly use again”

“Routledge Surveyors produced the best survey we have ever had. They responded promptly to our enquiry, made clear when they would be able to undertake the work, did so as agreed and offered a brief preliminary report on the day. The full report came very soon afterwards. It was detailed, concise, clear and offered helpful suggestions for us to follow up. Super.”

“Used the RICS website to find a local surveyor. Before I could look at the outcome I was bombarded by emails from surveyors wanting me to choose them. All I wanted was a list that I could look at and make a choice or further enquiries as necessary.”

“excellent! prompt response to my enquiry and setting up inspection date, Cannot fault the price as many other companies wanted far more money for a level 2 with valuation. Recommend to any perspective home buyers to engage this company. We have moved a number of times and he made a great difference after explaining his method and content of the forthcoming report.”

“The website was easy to use and I was quickly contacted by local surveyors who gave me details of their company and their prices. I instructed Andrew Hickin who produced a comprehensive and easy to understand Level 3 report on the property I wished to purchase. In the end I did not proceed with the purchase as the remedial work required was both extensive and expensive. Andrew has since provided a survey report for another property - again very informative and I am proceeding with the purchase. In addition to the written report (emailed within 7 working days), Andrew also offers an informal telephone conversation immediately after the inspection to go through the main issues.”

“Pricing is based on the sale value of the property. This is an unfair pricing strategy as it's not based on the amount of work the surveyor will be doing. I had a chat with one of the surveyors (who happened to be charging a lot more than all the others) and he gave me some nonsense about it being difficult to price if this strategy wasn't used. There are many fairer ways to price. It could be based on square footage, age of the property, number of bedrooms perhaps. If the price of property keeps increasing, so does the surveyor's fee yet the amount of work involved stays the same. Absolute extortion!”

Dear Ms Stewart Thankyou for your feedback. It's not entirely correct that pricing is based entirely on the value of the property. Our pricing matrix is designed to allow a reasonable comparison of survey costs from different surveyors for comparable properties within a given postcode district. It is based on property age, number of bedrooms, and property value (which is why these questions are asked during the quoting process). How individual surveyors or firms choose to set and present their pricing within that framework is entirely up to them, but we do tend to find that the number of bedrooms (and consequently property size and amount of work required) is the predominant factor. There is generally some sort of correlation between property value and size, so even where surveyors set fees with the emphasis on value they tend to be broadly consistent with property size. It should also be noted that fees are set only very rarely purely on the property value (we do not provide a percentage of value fee option), so do not automatically increase in line with value.

“I appreciated all the info about surveyors nearby but I wasn't expecting to be contacted by them all so quickly! I was inundated! They are probably used to contacting potential clients this was, although high failure rate for them so was it good use of their time. But was certainly OTT for me to deal with!”

“Quotes look like they have been generated by scripts. Too many random quotes from the same companies. When I agreed for the work to be done, firm came back and said did not have the staff to do valuations.”
