I was unable to find a surveyor to help me with my request. None were available with less than three weeks notice and I needed help within days, not weeks. I also wanted an attended visit, which seems to be outside the remit of several of the businesses.

Neither of the recommended surveyors gave me the curtesy of a reply to either this request or my follow up phone messages. Very disappointing service from supposed professionals

Two recommendations came up. The first one quoted £200 more than the price shown on your website, the second couldn't do the survey as it was too far away from them. Waste of time.

The surveyor you advised me off did not contact me at all - you said it would be within 24 hours and a week or so on, nobody has made contact with me.

Very poor. The survey took less than 15 minutes and then when the valuation finally came through the comparables used were council flats with 70m2 of living space compared to our historic listed property of 230m2 with unique features. Appalling service and behaviour.

Waste of time for me. Was looking for the cost of re-building for insurance purposes. I explicitly asked for that. All I got was cut-and-paste from companies offering valuation surveys. Even the one company who quoted back to me my text asked for a rebuilding survey still quoted a valuation survey!

This service promised quotes from 5 local surveyors. It offered me one quote which was over 30 miles away and over priced. Completely and utterly useless service as far as I was concerned.

Your initial statement said I would receive five local Surveyors. I received only one. I contacted them, they completed a survey and advised me the results would be with me in two to three days. Eight days later, despite having paid their fee, I am still awaiting their valuation.

Having filled in the details and proceeded to next ‘page’, clicked the wrong button, returned to info page, but all had gone!

I have never used this site but have somehow been contacted to say I have. This has happened previously and I complained then.

I was not contacted by anyone so the service was of no use to me!

Unfortunately, I have not found amongst the Local Building Surveyors a structural surveyor to assess the damage to the wall and forecourt of my house. I will continue to search.

A potentially useful service ruined by the fact that, without obtaining the necessary explicit consent to receive direct marketing, using the service resulted in a large volume of unsolicited direct marketing (by phone, SMS and email). Not recommended.

I have been shocked at how poor this service has been. As a retired Chartered Building Surveyor (FRICS) myself I had expected more. The surveyor that I selected has yet to reply to my e-mail and the other two keep bombarding me with, to my mind, overly aggressive phone messages and e-mails. I have just unsubscribed to one of these last two, not realising at any point that I had subscribed to anything from them. A most unpleasant experience.

We were given the names of two companies. I needed a Home Report for a Visa application and a detailed survey of the same property. The first company was not interested. The second company agreed to do the Home Report and a Level 3 Survey. They charged £600 which has been a total waste of money. They had no idea what was required regarding the Home Report, and the finished letter could not be used. They offered a £100 refund which I have declined because the level 3 survey was equally useless and told us nothing we did not already know. The agreement we signed said that their surveyor would go into loft spaces if accessible and safe. Accessible and safe was not defined. The surveyor decided she could not access the loft space, yet various people have accessed it in the past and at least two recently, one just the week before the survey. The surveyor wrongly claimed my husband told her on the day of the survey that the roof space was not accessible. The survey states :- 'It was not possible to view the joists as the loft which (sic) had been insulated and boarded over. The loft could not be entered into as it had not been boarded' We specifically wanted to know what the condition of the roof was so that we could decide whether to improve the property or demolish it and rebuild. We are no further forward regarding this. The survey was merely a description of the property and full of advice on how to maintain woodwork, ventilate, keep gutters clear etc, common sense stuff that most people would know and wouldn't need to spend hundreds of pounds to find out. We have owned numerous properties over the years and had numerous surveys carried out, they have all been detailed and where we have asked for suggestions to various problems these have been provided We have since had the Home Report carried out by someone else which has cost even more. We would not use a Find Local Chartered Surveyors site again,
