Of the five architect businesses listed I have received a contact from one only, which was a bit of a disappointment. However I have got back to that person /company and have had made an appointment for a survey to be carried out.

I was put through to the Local Surveyors Direct website by entering a request on the Home Owners Alliance website for potential surveyors for a property purchase. Having made my choice and having found the chosen surveyor's website I was able to arrange a survey very quickly over the phone. I was then contacted by 5 or 6 of the other potential surveyors listed by email or by phone as they sought my business. I think this should not happen. It is disturbing that they should have access to my contact details (especially phone number) and pester me when I have made my choice of surveyor. For that reason, although the service provided is useful and worked for me, I am not happy about the knock-on effect.

I did not like being cold called immediately on my phone . It was intrusive.

Good list of results with information and reviews. BUT THE HARRASSMENT?! All i've had is a bombardment of emails and telephones calls from potential suppliers. This is beyond annoying!

only one of the firms was local to the job all the rest said it was too far for them

The issue I had was that I wanted quotes for a home buyers survey specifically and was contacted by surveyors who didn't do RICs accredited Home Buyers surveys. Which was a massive waste of my time.

I might have used the website but since I have used many sites and you have not told me exactly what I was looking for how can I make any comments.

The site was quick and easy to use but it didn't get me any responses so didn't achieve anything.

I contacted Mr Ryder of Whitley Bay who was most polite and helpful. However I received an unintelligible message and an email from a company on the list whom l had not contacted.

One of the surveyors contacted me, I was expecting to be contacted by more but still it is good to be contacted immediately. It is a very good service in general. Thanks

Please define 'normal'! Does that equate to 'average'? If I remember correctly, our choices included a builder, planner and a couple of seemingly defunct links. Sorry not to be more helpful but I've done so much research it's just melded into a chunk of memory block!

The estimates were higher than the quotes I got from individual contact - maybe because house is a bit quirky

I surfed the topic to get information for a forthcoming move to the area and looked at a couple of particular websites, what I did not need was the extra emails from businesses that were on the list. All it does is fill my inbox. If I want information from a particular website I will ask on that website. I am sure I am not alone in this view even if most people do not say so.

You have a good service, however within 1 minute I had been repeatedly contacted by half the surveyors on the list (via my mobile and emails) when this was just a price comparison exercise. It was embarrassing to turn people down and quite a lot of hassle. I would like to be given quotes and then opt to contact the surveyor I choose, rather than the other way around and my details handed out. It was quite a shock and not how comparison websites work in my experience.

only one person got back in touch. What I need is for someone to come over and make some suggestions, it's more than just an architectural plan. I need someone to consider the cost of each of the options, and whether they are worth it.

I have left a telephone message with one surveyor and am awaiting response. The other three that have contacted me will be held in reserve meanwhile. Their responses were excellent. Thank you.

Electrician turned up on same day. He was helpful. He said he needed to order some items to do the job. He told us that he would contact us once the items have arrived but this has not happened yet. I have gave a rating as normal due to the fact he has not rang us to tell us when he will do the job or if the items have arrived.
