I was pleased to receive a list of professionals in the field I require help in, but frankly appalled that my contact details had been made available to others, especially at a time when the rules on such activities have been tightened. I'm the new climateI I would have had to asked for that to happen. I did not.

The website is a good asset to find companies around your area. It does nothing more than Google or the yellow pages.

Very poor response

The site said that you would see a list and get to select from that. While this is true they also send your details to all the companies who then contact you which for me was unexpected spam as I was simply looking for approximate quotes at the time.

I was given higher quote than actual price of the surveyor. The survey booked was after 10 working days as opposed to promised 3-5 working days.

I was instantly bombarded by calls, texts and emails from companies claiming they had expert local knowledge of my property's area, whilst being in a completely different county.

Very disappointed with the service.There appears to be no vetting of those who put themselves forward.Only one out of six appear to be registered on the RIBA site to show they are qualified.

Whilst I received quotes, my contact details were passed on directly and I was bombarded with phone calls and text messages. Email is ok but there should be an option to opt out of recieving direct phone calls.

Hi - we are sorry to hear you were bombarded with phone calls and text messages. We only ever pass your details on to a maximum of 8 Suppliers - so please be assured that you should not receive any more calls. We do give the option for Customers not to provide their phone number - and to enter "0000" instead. It looks like we need to make this feature clearer - so we can make sure that our Customers only receive calls when they want them.

I didn't want to be pestered by various surveyors phoning or emailing to get me to sign up. Disappointed to find out separately that one of the companies was actually struck of RICS last year! That suggests the vetting procedure is poor.

None of your architects got back to me after offering to quote. Very unprofessional.

Just got a lot of irrevant correspondance from companies thinking I was buying and needed a survey’s report. I never said i was buying. Show me the proof if you think i stated that. Otherwise a great site.

Some of the contractors listed were ones that I had already contacted and who had not bothered to get back to me. I decided to wait and see if any of the others would get in touch and one did, and they have visited to give me a quote.

I wanted LOCALLY BASED Chartered Surveyors but most of the quotes were from what appear to be call centre type organistaions based miles away and not knowing the area. LOCAL SUREYORS seems to be a misnomer.

Posted job details to three of your suggested contacts over 24 hours ago. Still waiting for a reply of any description albeit acceptance or refusal.

Not one of the electricians responded or returned my calls to do the job.

I was exceptionally concerned that one of the assessors in my search, Mr Smart of Smart Survey is advertising as being accredited by Quidos. Having checked the register he isn’t. I asked him why this is the case and he then claims he is accredited with Stroma. On further investigation from both Quidos and Stroma it appears he is suspended from practice. This is shocking! Went with another local firm instead.

the website offers quotes and tells YOU to get in touch with companies if interested in following up. It doesn't tell you to be prepared to be bombarded with emails and calls! Wouldn't use again.
