I recently used Karenas services for a home buyers survey for our new home, she was recommended to me through our real estate agent. I am a commercial interior designer and also have construction knowledge having renovated a few properties previously. I am a detailed person and always like to deal with reliable and experienced specialists in their field. Not only was Karenas report, thorough and detailed but we also spoke after the survey was completed where she gave me an outline summary of the property and put my mind at ease. She also recommended other specialists for other services would I have needed them, also helpful. I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a property.

Karena at GreenChameleon was very professional and helpful during her survey, and followed up very promptly after her payment and survey to any phonecall and email enquiries. I also shared the survey with my father and we were both impressed with how in depth the survey was (A 1960s Bungalow) and had a good snagging list of issues I previously hadn't considered. The cost of the service was also very friendly and a lot more personable than many other surveys. As a result of the survey, and notifying issues with the house I have managed to reduce the price by £4000 on the house I am purchasing.

Very pleased with the quality and comprehensive content of the HB report received. It exceeded our expectations. Karena also offered to talk through any specific areas of the report as required. This resulted in an extremely helpful and valuable phone call where Karena answered any / all queries raised with any sections of the report she had issued. The report also cross referenced 100 photos that Karena had taken of the property, which proved to be of great value when discussing some of the points raised. All in all a very satisfied customer !

Karena has been very quick to schedule appointments and fast in turning round her very thorough and helpful reports. She is friendly and knowledgeable- very approachable and a delight to work with. Her pricing structures are incredibly fair. I wouldn't use anyone else.

Building Survey. Dawn, Hinckley. March 2016.

 

 

 

 

 

Website Feedback: I employed Mrs Ellis-Greenway to conduct a survey on a house I am trying to buy. She arrived in a timely manner and conducted the survey with the minimum of fuss, having collected the keys to the empty property from the estate agent. She was very thorough and confirmed my suspicions with regards to a damp issue. She also found more damp spots, which I was not aware of and which were not evident. She identified the lack of gas meter in the property ( it had been disconnected under British Gas warrant )and also advised with regards to support for an upstairs blocked up chimney place. She was happy to climb over years of waste in the garden in order to further inspect a flat roof and she took myriad photographs. Her report is clear, concise and detailed and delivered very quickly. I was left feeling that this lady really knows her onions and would not hesitate to recommend her as her charges are also very reasonable.

I asked Karena at Green Chameleon to carry out a survey on a property we were marketing. Karena was very professional and went out of her way to speed up the process. As a result of Karena's professional and easily readable survey, I was able to achieve the full asking price for my Vendor.

Building Survey, Coventry. January 2016.

I appointed Karena at Green Chameleon to survey the property I was buying after meeting her when she surveyed the property I was selling. She impressed me as she was friendly, professional and thorough. I immediately felt confident that she would carry out a thorough inspection on the Victorian terrace I was buying. I knew it needed work on it but required reassurance that this was affordable and the house wasn't going to fall down (it had been underpinned). She was prompt and provided everything I needed to know including lots of photographs. I telephoned her after the survey had been carried out to get a short verbal report for reassurance that I would proceed with the purchase, and again her warmth combined with professionalism was evident. I would definitely recommend her services.

Building Surveys Suzanne G, Leamington Spa

Thank you for the great survey - easy to read and understand and would recommend you to friends - thats how we found you..two friends recommended you! A Dabek Sept 14

Thank you very much for the report and photographs following the recent survey you did for me.I was very impressed with the thoroughness of the report. Indeed, the vendor told me ‘There was nowhere that she didn't go'! Good job and worth every penny. There were no surprises but without your thoroughness I couldn't have been sure of that.Thanks again - H Allen Sept 14

Thanks for the detailed report and for the really helpful information you have given us whilst doing the survey. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone we know looking for a surveyor! Very best wishes,

Aimee and Rob

"I was introduced to Karena, trading as Green Chameleon, by an estate agent and, based on what I read on her website and a chat on the phone, I decided to ask her to undertake a RICS Housebuyer's survey. Leading up to the survey I found Karena to be very approacable on the phone, via text messages and email. She kept me informed of what was about to happen and even contacted me late in the evening immediately after she had finished the survey to give me a verbal update of her findings. When I received her report via email it was detailed and accompanied by about 105 photos held within a pdf file. Her commitment to doing a good job for me didn't stop at that point, because she was receptive to making some minor amendments to the report as well as answering my questions. I've never met Karena face-to-face, but I feel I've got to know her a little bit over the past couple of weeks or so, and would not hesitate to recommend her expertise to anyone considering making use of a professionally qualified surveyor." Regards Mr T Camilleri

I used Karena for reports on 2 different properties. Karena provided a personalised service throughout and was easily contactable via phone and email. The report was easy to understand and very detailed accompanied by lots of useful photos. Karena spent lots of time talking through the report with me on the phone on several occasions and dealt directly with the estate agents to organise the reports. She has great local knowledge and I would definitely recommend Karena and will be using her in the future. Mr Keenan July 14

I will happily recommend your services to friends and family. Mr Foreman July 14

The site worked well. I used Karena Ellis-Greenway initially because she was local. Then she was so personable and cheery on the phone. She made me feel more confident at was is a rather daunting time! All went well. The survey was very thorough (Karena spotted some things I hadn't noticed in 2 viewings) and included photographs for clarity. I would definitely highly recommend her. Yours sincerely,

Lynda, Leamington Spa

Dear Karena, Thank you very much for your excellent report thoughtful help and superb professional efficiency. I will not hesitate to recommend you to others in the future kind regards

Ann S

The website worked effectively. Provided range of suppliers in target area. I followed up with Karena Ellis-Greenway, Green Chameleon. Very good. Impressed by her determination to complete survey report despite personal health problems. Report very comprehensive as described pre - survey.

G F, Southam

You are a star and absolutely made me a happy bunny today :-) Mrs M

I just wanted to thank you for the excellent report you provided us with for our upcoming purchase in John O'Gaunt Rd, Kenilworth. The depth of your report and the accompanying photos totally exceeded our expectations. As a result we feel very prepared regarding the condition of the property and priority areas we face once our purchase goes ahead. Thank you also for the builder recommendations who we will be contacting in due course.

Sincere thanks for your help and superb report - I will not hesitate to recommend you in the future. Mrs King

Thank you also for the excellent service on both occassions and i would certainly come back to you again should the need arise.

Yours sincerely Mr Webb

Good morning karena, Thank you very much for providing me with my Homebuyers survey report. I found it very useful, well documented and impressed by the detail and would gladly recommend your services to other.

Thanks again. Mr Y

Thank you very much for a very comprehensive report, it was clear, concise and provided us with an excellent report for our intended purchase.Best wishes, Mrs M

Thank you for your detailed Home Buyer Report which you compiled for me. very informative especially with the addition of the photos much appreciated (my last HBR didn't have photos) and also for letting me be in attendance for the beginning, Quick turnaround from initial enquiry to access to property to compiling report. Would definitely recommend and instruct for future purchases. Kind regards

M Wallace

The website worked very well. I followed up with Green Chameleon. A very comprehensive report with substantive photos making the position clear in all respects. An excellent service provided by both the search and the supplier.

David, Southam

We found the website really useful. We placed an order with Karina of Green Cameleon who was really helpful and produced a comprehensive report for us. we would use this site again-thank you.

Nicki, Warwick

Dear Karena. Thank-you for the survey. We really appreciate your thorough and detailed inspection of the property. We were also very pleased by how promptly you sent it to us. The photographer did a great job of capturing all the things we hadn't noticed. Everyone who has seen the survey has been impressed with its depth, coverage and good value. We will be sure to recommend you to friends and family. We have passed the information in the survey onto our estate agent and venders and are hoping to renegotiate, we might need to be in touch for further details. Kind regards, Matthew and Jessica from Bedford.

The website worked fine and was easy to use. I used one of your surveyors - Karena Ellis-Greenway of Green Chameleon - mainly because she phoned me up within a minute of the survey information coming through. She was also local and prepared to tailor to report to our specific needs. I also had follow up calls from two other surveyors within an hour. The surveyors report was personalised and very thorough. It was very comprehensive, with lots of photos. I come from a family of surveyors so I know what a good and thorough report should look like and this was excellent. You offer a good service. Thank you. Caroline I did proceed with a Homebuyer survey from Green Chameleon and am very happy with the friendly and efficient service I received. The surveyor spent a great deal of time advising me by phone as well as providing the written report. The property I was considering purchasing looked in very good condition but in fact the surveyor picked up very serious problems, damp to whole of ground floor, chimney breast removed with no structural support, lack of building regs approval etc and I am therefore relieved to not be buying it now. DD: It would be my pleasure to endorse your work. We bought our house in Coventry back in 2010. I happened upon Karena and Green Chameleon via an Internet search of local home surveyors. From the outset Karena was completely professional regarding her communications, and arranging the survey to be carried out. Her eye for detail spotted some potential roof reinforcement problems that ultimately gave us the bargaining power with the vendor to get a £2,500 reduction off the agreed house price! A nice saving when money is tight. Needless to say, Karena was the first number I called when we had agreed to buy another rental property this year. We had time constraints and thankfully Karena agreed to fit in our survey the day she got back from holiday - jet lagged as she must have been. Again the report was extremely thorough and saved us another £1000 off the asking price! Excellent personable service and money well spent :-) Your website operated very well. "Prompt, efficient service - will recommend and use again." Mr Marian HBS "Great advice that saved us money." Mr Davidson, Boundary Dispute "Personal and professional." Mr Edgar, Landlord

Yes the website worked well and gave me estimates, and yes I followed up Green Chameleon who were very good. I wasnt interested in companies covering the whole of England, only local people who know the area. Thats the main reason I picked Green Chameleon. L Kelly
