“I needed a home buyers report and " local surveyors direct" came up with a selection of chartered surveyors together with quotes for work. very speedy easy to use website”
“Rapid reply by email giving me 5 or so choices in my area, with prices and contact details. called my choice up, they had seen that I was interested, confirmed the quote there and then. Email of term and conditions followed and the survey is arranged for 3 working days time.”
“Was quickly sent of list of surveyors, some of them local. The cost was clear.
Contacted one to arrange the survey but then house sale fell through so can't comment any further.”
“I was looking for a surveyor to produce an asbestos report. Details of 5 surveyors came up, with price estimates from £200 to £240 including VAT, which seemed reasonable.
However, when individual email responses were received form survey companies, the prices ranged from £265 to £350, without even knowing any details fo the property! I'm afraid this put me off proceeding any further.”
“This is an excellent service. I needed an electrician and the website provided me with contacts near to me, I rang and arranged an appointment, it was so quick and easy. I would certainly use this service again.”
“Some minor delay getting report sent to me due to some web site all surveyors use, going diwn.however, once received I found the survey extensive and detailed, even though the house in question was full if furniture, floor coverings and loft packed with stored items.
I had researched prices in the area concerned, Wiltshire and this was near the cheapest so good value fir money. I probably will not be buying the house in question as to much work, repairs needed, half at least of which I would not know about if I had not had this survey so potentially saved me from huge costs.
Highly recommend therefore.”
“A great site that quickly flags up local surveyors which then goes on to describe their service, history and estimate. Bear in mind this is only a quote and there might be hidden costs even though the site states that price quoted by the surveyor includes VAT if the company is VAT registered. This is not always the case as I found out.”
“Despite several emails and promises I never received the report in the said time factor 10 working days.
A costly sum was charged up front, long delay on receiving the report with no compensation given the fact that I was out of pocket financially for the delay on their behalf”
“Received several phone calls very quickly re survey -so don' t go on the site late at night as they are all fighting for business! Very satisfied with survey our who came at appointed time & for agreed cost”
“Your service has been extremely helpful. I was able to make contact with and receive contact from many surveyors. Who were all very helpful and offered me a lot of support. Very professional.”
“After chasing the valuer I still haven't received my homebuyers report. It is overdue on the timescales given when payment was made. Was advised 1 week ago my report was on top of the list of things to do. Will be looking to pay for another report as not sure if/when this one will be with me.”
“I entered my details without any real expectation of finding a surveyor who would be able to do a report fairly quickly, for the property i hoped to buy. The seller wanted the sale to progress quickly as the house had been empty for a while and was costing him money. Our own house sale was already 6 weeks along, so I was really pleased to be able to get surveyor to attend the property this week and at a reasonable price.
I would definitely recommend this website, and if there is something specific you want to be checked, mention it when your filling in the details as well as how soon this report needs to be done.”
