“I didn't need a Surveyor for sale purposes, only needed someone to help in adding a new boundary line to my deeds, due to acquiring additional land.”

“The service was good but one of the electricians’ prices did not match the quote on local surveyors direct. He was a lot more expensive.”

“Only one of the "local" suppliers contacted us, but just to say that they no longer operate in the Croydon area. I contacted one of the suggested surveyors myself; agreed a price and when I rang to arrange a date & time for a site visit I was told they'd get back to me in 5 or 10 minutes. 6 hours later I'm still waiting. Presumably so much work on that they're too busy to return a call ! The whole process was a waste of time.”

“The surveyor we employed had many excellent reviews but did not seem at all experienced. He did not deliver the report on time and when we complained he was quick to give us a full refund, which we appreciated and he was polite and seemed like a nice guy so we will therefore not leave him a negative review. But it does make me realise that even large numbers of reviews can be misleading if people know how to play the system.”

“The estimates that came back took no notice of the requirements that I specified in the additional comments section of the entry, so were of no use to me”

“my main gripe is about lack of transparency on your website. You should clearly state on the main page that your details will be passed onto people straight away, and that you don't have the choice if you want to speak to them. This information is written very small in the T&Cs, which lets face it, must people don't read. It does however, state clearly, that you will see information from people and you can contact them. That fact that they will contact you before you've had chance to see anyone's details. You will then be bombarded by phone calls, text messages and emails from people you weren't expecting. Your date is out there now. Write it clearly on the website, not hide it away. Very underhanded.”

“REF: Michael Townsend, his invoicing is inaccurate, his email does not work and he is agressive.”

“I rang one of the two numbers that were local to me, i.e. Hereford. The first number I rang is not an available number. It is not a recognised number. So I am not at all impressed with your website. It has not helped me at all.”

“I wanted a survey done of shower leak and broken ceiling and everyone from this site wanted a minimum of £400. At least £60 cheaper to call firms directly I have found.”

“The reason for only scoring a poor was the lack of response, i only received one company who at least contacted me and was prepared to visit my home to supply me with a quote. the other companies didn't have the decency to reply to my requests. Companies who can't take the time to reply, should never be in business, i am well aware they can be busy and unable to take any more work, but there will come a time when work will become slack.”

“It's nothing to do with the surveyors themselves, but the service provided by this website was not satisfactory. I have asked for a particular kind of survey but was directed to all generic surveyors and as a result was flooded with quotes from wrong services. They all got my email which is not too good as for the data protection.”

“Searched for "local" architect who had worked with my local council, the nearest result was 30 miles away. These results would cause higher charges due to travel time and lack of local knowledge.”

“Out of all the prices sent to me only 1 was close to the quoted price listed by the website. All the other quotes were over double that listed once the surveyor was contacted despite my putting in detailed information.”
