“When the 2 men arrived neither of them introduced theirselves which I found a little rude as they were coming into my property. It was as if we were under review not the flat, it made me feel a little uncomfortable and I’m glad I had a family member there with me.”

“I instructed them twice and they did what was asked but no more It felt very impersonal and communication was poor due to their reliance on IT rather than personal conversation It was expensive too”

“The survey was quite general and in some respects incorrect. We were given a lower energy than 2 years ago. We had to rectify this with photo proof. A mistske was made in the decription of the sliding door. It was described pvc. It was actually hardwood.”

“Pretty basic report for the money. £895 and a lot of the report makes assumptions. Unfortunately these are needed when selling so get off with charging a fortune for very little effort and and wooly report!”

“Punctual and courteous but the Home Report contained one important factual error regarding the source of hot water which had to be corrected together with some apparent cut and paste errors that had obviously transposed from some other previous report. More care needed in stating facts and in report writing.”

“Surveyor arrived on time, and surveyed property. Home Report ok, valuation well below my expectations. Property put on market at offers over, hope potential buyers see the true value in my property and put in a realistic offer .”

“The surveyor who attended was prompt, polite, engaging and professional. The e-platform is easy to use and appropriate. The practice of having to make full payment prior to being able to read a draft home report is not right. In my humble opinion, a client should only pay when they are satisfied with the home report. I was not happy with the value given to the property and my solicitor communicated this to Shepherds Dumfries. They did not change their valuation but remitted a request to me to provide further information to provide info on why the value should be changed! I feel the fee charged is over the top for 'work' done on a property valued at 80k! It's relatively expensive.”

“The survey seemed adequately detailed and informative, but the valuation felt low at the time, has subsequently proved to be, and as a consequence gives rise to a hefty Captial Gains Tax on the gap between their valuation and sale.”

“Great service from Angus at Shepherds. Arrived on time, carried out his survey unobtrusively and quickly, and submitted a draft report within 24 hours. Excellent service.”

“We thought the surveyor could have been more observant or asked questions. E.g. the smoke and heat alarms were not noticed and the assessment of some double glazing units as failing is questionable but a crack in one pane was missed.”

“My wife and l were present but not asked any questions about our property. Then on home report did not know we had cavity wall insulation. Did not ask about our double glazing how old it was. Only 2 years. And omitted that we had key locks for all windows. He asked if we had any questions but surely he was the one to ask questions.”

“Considering the influx of a large number of military personnel and the speed of the market at the moment i feel my property was undervalued. My reason for this is the alternatives on the market available are not of the same quality or interior size and have all been valued considerably higher”

“Some aspects of the home report exaggerated matters beyond a reasonable level such as one floor board being loose and being designated as level 2.”

“Once contacted, they organised an appointment for survey very quickly. Pleasant staff I had to contact the company to ask how to pay for the report when advised the draft was ready. I then had to contact the company to advise that I had paid for the report (they had not told me I would need to do this). The local office didn't seem to be able to track the payment easily although paid through their web payments. The reports come out from a different email address so easy to miss. This meant additional contacts to the company as I didn't realise that it had been sent out. More so the local staff couldn't confirm it had been sent out for 24 hours although had actually sent it out themselves. Once confirming the survey with a minor question/comment, both I and my estate agent had to chase Shepherds for contact. In the meantime (without the confirmed report) I was sent this email to rate the company before in my opinion the job was completed as I had not received the finalised report. This prompted me to chase the company for my report - because I don't expect opinion surveys to be sent before the job is final and I wondered whether I had missed the report being sent. Maybe a further disconnect between sectors of the company? I was given contact details for the surveyor direct which was helpful but should not have been necessary. To clarify the issue - the conversation took approximately one minute, this was following several days delay for something very minor and quick to resolve. This unfortunately meant that we missed the end of school holiday break time for listing the property. Confirmation of the report then took just over 24 hours but because it was emailed after 5pm closing time for the firm I stopped looking for it that day and I hadn't searched for the final report until the following morning. This again adding to delay in listing the house. The process took 3 weeks in total. I feel the communication could be improved - clients should be notified of the email address from which reports will come. Feedback should be faster and proactive. The company and their partner agencies/HQ should have better joined up access to expected/activity so that the local point of contact can easily access the client information re payments, progress etc from a single point. This survey does not allow for multiple means of communication with the company - both email, telephone and in person. Variable times for response from within the call , 24 hours, to several days.”

“I am Nora Kellock - writing for Alasdair Kellock. The report was fine. It was a wee bit odd communicating with your website - which seemed functionally fine but a wee bit clunky in the way it communicated e.g. emails come from or addressed to Perth - which is a city - not a person or even a business. due to some error/misunderstanding the report was somehow out on your website and/or sent to the solicitors without us being told so there was a we delay in us getting it. But that could have been me not understanding very well.”

“Very little was said by the surveyor, who finished his survey on Monday 10th August 2020 in approximately 15-20 minutes. The Home Report initially recommended cavity wall insulation even though the Questionnaire I had completed (and returned within hours of receiving it) provided full details of the installation of cavity wall installation in the property. This error delayed the final report by about three days. (When I phoned to chase it up I was told that ‘the system’ was saying the Questionnaire hadn’t yet been completed’.) Sorting this out lost us an entire weekend - the listing not going live until Monday two weeks after the survey.”
