Hook & Sons Property Surveys Ltd Avis 9

Very professional service, quick and the team gave knowledgeable advice before I engaged as well.

Very friendly and would recommend them again, the report spotted a number of issues that weren't picked up from a specific asbestos survey as well, so above and beyond.

Brad undertook a Level 3 survey for me, on a Grade 2 listed property that I was looking to buy in a village in Warwickshire. The entire experience from beginning to end was totally professional. Brad clearly knows the business inside out and following the survey he gave me nearly 2 hrs of his time discussing the key points highlighted in the survey, and imparted some very valuable advice about how I might address some of the issues found. The quality of the report produced was to a very high standard with lots of supplementary photo evidence where appropriate. Can't recommend him highly enough and in fact, already have recommended him to a friend, who got equally professional service.

I contacted Brad on the recommendation of several local people.

His service exceeded all my expectation, with multiple friends telling me not to get a survey as their ones were almost useless. I’m glad I ignored their advice, as the level 3 RICS survey that Brad carried out was superb!

The detail of the report was outstanding, and an estate agent friend commented on the fact he’s never seen one with so much useful information.

I would not hesitate to recommend Hook & Sons. The pride taken in their work is reflected in the high-quality report received.

We were recommended Hook & Sons by a happy customer. Brad sent us through a very competitively priced survey and completed the job quickly. We received the report & Brad talked through exactly what it meant. Would highly recommend.

Brad was excellent - very thorough and explained his findings in layman terms. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a surveyor.

Brad conducted Level 3 building/structural surveys on two properties for me after the sale of one fell through. Brad's inspection was incredibly thorough, leaving no stone unturned. His attention to detail was brilliant and he brought a wealth of expertise to the table.

What truly stood out was Brad's way of presenting findings. He took the time to walk me through each detail, patiently explaining the implications and proposing effective solutions. His ability to simplify complex structural issues was immensely helpful.

Brad helped to ensure peace of mind during my property purchases. He even conducted a follow-up visit for an intrusive inspection to confirm structural stability when no building regulations were found initially. 


Brad's professionalism and willingness to share his extensive knowledge made the process remarkably smooth. His genuine concern for his clients' understanding and satisfaction was evident throughout.

If you're seeking a meticulous, knowledgeable, and personable professional building surveyor, I would wholeheartedly recommend Hook & Sons. Thank you for the exceptional service!

Hook and Sons are amazing surveyors. We contacted Hook and Sons for a Level 3 survey for an investment property we were in the process of purchasing. After their visit of the property, they called me the next day with a detailed overview of all the issues and produced a very detailed survey (96 pages long which is more than most surveyors) with lots of photos and amazing attention to detail. The property was tall with three storeys but even so they took close up photos of the roof/gutters and pointed out a damage in the roof (along with several other issues) which we would have never seen. There was a leak which was fixed in the kitchen and when we viewed we could not see any leak – however, Hook and Sons spotted that it was still leaking and included in the survey with a photo.

They also highlighted an issue with the property which both our solicitors and the estate agent were unaware of. Hook and Sons went above and beyond their role as surveyors and searched the council’s HMO register and planning portal. They found that the property had a certificate of lawfulness refused and therefore could not be used as an HMO. The vendor never declared this to the estate agent. We therefore cancelled the purchase of this property as soon as we could. We don’t think other surveyors would search the HMO register or planning portal.

Before we chose Hook and Sons, we contacted about a dozen other surveyors for quotes. All the surveyors got back to us with quotes and Hook and Sons had the best quote along with 3 other surveyors (one of which was not chartered and so we excluded). We decided to go with Hook and Sons since their sample report was amazing and they had excellent 5 star reviews on Really Moving. Also, there was something different about Hook and Sons – while other surveyors only provided quotes, Hook and Sons were the only surveyor who pointed out a few things from the RightMove listing images and so we had useful information even before we instructed them to do the survey.

They also looked at the Building Regulations notice on the Council website which indicated that the boiler in the property was installed last year. However, they pointed out that the boiler was at least 9 years old and so this was an error. We doubt other surveyors would go above and beyond their role and go as far as looking at the Building Regulations notices and this highlights just how good they are with attention to detail. When they carried out the survey, they were unable to access one room. They agreed to come back at no extra expense and arranged a date with the estate agent (although this never went ahead since we withdrew from the sale).

We highly recommend Hook and Sons and will certainly contact them again for our next property purchase.

Hook and Sons have done two surveys for me.
They are extremely thorough and communication afterwards on related matters has been quick and really helpful.
Recommend.

Buying a house is one of the most stressful and expensive financial transactions most of us make in our personal lives. I found Hook & Sons via a comparison website and decided to engage.
I heard from Brad Hook who immediately put me at ease with his obvious professionalism and expert knowledge. I instructed him to carry out a full survey on a property we were looking to buy.
The survey was carried out promptly and Brad took care of all the arrangements of accessing the property with the agent. After the survey I had an initial call with Brad who gave me his summary findings. A few days later the full report arrived in my inbox and another telephone conversation took place where the survey results were explained in detail, in clear language that I could understand. Full recommendations on what work needed doing and estimates of the likely costs were also provided. I was invited to call him again if I had any other questions or wanted something going through again; nothing was too much trouble.
Brad was an absolute pleasure to deal with and provided a great professional service at a very reasonable cost.
I would not hesitate to use Hook & Sons again and I thoroughly recommend them for a prompt professional service at a very reasonable price.
