“It is impossible to submit your request without giving your telephone number which is unnecessary as you obviously have to give your email address. I almost decided not to use the website as I didn't want anyone phoning me, but then saw that there's a box where you can put a message for the surveyors receiving your details. So I left a message asking them not to telephone me and to contact me by email only and submitted my request. Mistake! Within a few minutes I got a phone call from one of the companies. I told the caller I had asked that they didn't phone me and he subsequently emailed me, but I decided that I wouldn't consider the quote as they had ignored my request. I received emails from the other surveyors and decided not to use any of them for various reasons, but three of them keep on sending the mails and have now started phoning too. Can they not understand that if I'm interested I will contact them, and if they keep pestering me I will most likely not be giving them my business?”

Thank you for your review Margaret. Sorry that some of the surveyors did not respect your 'do not call' request. We do try and make clear in our FAQs, privacy policy and T&Cs that you can use the site without including your phone number, by either entering zeros or 'please don't call' in the phone number box. You can also add a dummy email address if you really don't want to be contacted, although you will only see your quotes on screen and they will not be emailed to you if you do that.

“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.

“Nightmare. Within 30 seconds of requesting my quotes I was inundated with calls from prospective firms, and I've been harrassed by them ever since. Decided to avoid all firms recommended by this site as I found that 2 were not RICS registered despite professing to be so.”

“Unable to help in the area we wanted. Another woul not do level 2 as requested at£525, would only do level 3 at £990. Found one myself will be doin level 2 at £450.”

“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.”
