Home Surveying Avis 

Honestly it was a good service from Home Surveying. The communication was very smooth with Jade from the start. The quote was the most competitive too for a Level 2 RICS report.

They arranged the visit to the property in about a week with the Estate Agent. On that day the surveyor went and did the survey.

Next day I emailed asking when could we expect the report. I was expecting them to say 4-5 days. Jade told me in 1-2 days. 2 hours later I received the report in my email. Mid morning of the next day.

The report was up to standard. However, having no prior experience of these reports, I can say the surveyors tend to cut a bit short of info, and cover their asses to the extreme. It's luck of the draw. I don't think this is particular from our surveyor though, it's probably common based on what I read online. Still annoying. The report had absolutely 0 green. Even in sections where the description said it was in a normal state of maintenance, it was orange. It didn't make sense. It makes it clear they have a templated text they just paste over and over, and they add like 1 particular line in your report (if needed).

That makes it extremely generic information. It looks more like a lecture on "risks". They won't even touch any services (electrical, drainage, water or gas), drop a red 3, and recommend a specialist inspection. When you see it you get scared. But after looking at it closer you notice it is their way of working. The house, even having everything red or orange, had absolutely nothing to worry about. Everything was very minor.

It was useful to raise some legal stuff for the solicitors to enquire about.

Thus, be careful when reading them. I would like a better work put in by the surveyors. We didn't bother even asking for questions because we understood mostly everything and judged ourselves. He would've probably just covered his ass anyway.

Still, can't complain about the service. It was cheap, very fast and reliable, so I would definitely recommend homesurveying for doing this.

Easy to understand protocols and swift response to emails.

The service I received from Home Surveying was of a really professional standard. The person I originally dealt with Becky Anderson was very helpful and kept me updated throughout. I also found the other members of staff that I dealt with to also be very professional and helpful. I would certainly use their services again in the future and recommend home surveying to other friends and family.

Having had a recent RICS home survey level 2 inspection on a proposed house purchase I have found the company very prompt and professional the report was detailed and photo's supplied to support area's of concern
Their follow-up emails offered to discuss this further should the need arise. I would recommend this company
