The enter button didn’t tell me it had sent the information so I ended up sending about 10 times to the contacts.

The results came through pretty quick on a pricing table which was easy to compare. The results showed eight companies mostly based in the area we are buying, some obviously not as one said they would have a surveyor in that area in 2 weeks time, another was 44 miles away. Five companies quoted ranging from £550-680 which was reasonable and these all followed up with e-mails. Two of which offered to lower their quote £55 and £100. A lot of the companies attached pdf examples of different surveys or gave links, so this was very informative. The other three companies were in the top bracket at £760-900, did not follow up with e-mails bar one who promised to drop their price to match the most competitive, and at a saving £345 I suspect these quotes were over-inflated. On the whole I was happy with the speed of the surveys and the follow up e-mails, but think they should reflect an accurate price initially and not re-adjust after they have seen their competitors quotes. One of the companies became problematic by e-mailing daily, asking us to contact them to take them off their list. I thought the search would bring up more local surveyors and as the one company was 44 miles away, I wondered if not having that local area knowledge such as green belt, flooding, mining etc would have a bearing on the survey.

The lead goes out to too many companies. It should be no more than 5.

I simply wanted to find out whether a Habitat Survey was required by Planning Authorities when making an outline planning application for a detached three bedroom bungalow?

I was pleased I got a list of companies contacting. However, most of them called me on my email several times offering me free estimates and were quite pushy. Secondly they were more builders or small design companies which were not RIBA or industry body qualified.

Only one of the replies I got was local - the rest were national companies who said they operated in our area.

I received a timely email with a list of electricians in my area, unfortunately, the one I contacted was unaware he was listed on this site and this caused a bit of confusion. He was local and agreed to pop in to have a look at my problem but then called at the last minute to say he was sending someone else and would charge me £45. I cancelled the appointment and asked a relative for a recommendation.

I got response from two parties. I am looking forward to arranging a visit from one of them to suit a mutually convenient time for the surveyor to visit the premises. Your service has proved useful and price wise too. Thanks.

Hi - No we do not pass your details on to anyone other than the Suppliers offering the service you requested in your local area. The Suppliers we have listed on our Website are also not allowed to pass your details on to any other third parties. We do not have any dealings with debt help companies, and we are very concerned to hear that you are now receiving calls from them. If you would like to contact us at enquiries@localsurveyorsdirect.co.uk or by telephone on 01962 674840 we would be happy to talk to you about this in more detail.

The problem I found was that you do not separate surveyors for construction (architects and Architectural technicians)and Chartered Surveyors who undertaken valuations, building value, homebuyer reports etc

It's good to get quotes for comparison. However, I am not sure it is good to inform the companies before I have a chance to read and compare. Some of them called me before I read your email result! Others followed up everyday. Very disruptive! Otherwise, it would have been a very useful tool.

Easy to book and the survey was carried out relatively quickly. They provided the report on the morning of the 6th business day after being prompted the day before. I asked for them to check some specific things and I'm still waiting for a response about why they didn't do it.

Sadly I found a 'rogue trader' on this website - the issue was taken seriously and dealt with. I'm still in need of someone to do a floor plan though.
