Brilliant service from the web site, everything was as they said it would be, time scale as expected very quickly contacted and work carried out by Cadwell Associates

Suzanne, Sturminster, Dorset

The web site provided a very swift response and several quotes for comparison purposes. I used McKinlays Chartered Surveyors and was extremely satisfied with their work carried out on our behalf.

Peter, Dorchester, Dorset

I found the website very handy and easy to use in order to find the best available quotations for comparison purposes and I used McKinlays Chartered Surveyors. The point of contact Philip Cadwell was swift and responsive. The survey of the property took place on the 30 August 2013.I understand the written report will follow in the next 4 days or so following the survey. I met up with the surveyor on site following his survey and he was able to clarify any queries I had and point out any defects, which fortunately, would appear to be maintenance issues.

Peter, Dorchester, Dorset

The website was very helpful. I was trying to get an idea of the cost of having a survey done as we'd unexpectedly had the chance to buy a house and had no idea of the costs involved. I was sitting on a train at the time and the website worked well on my mobile and over 3G. We used Philip Cadwell of McKinlays Chartered Surveyors. He was very good. He was able to undertake the work quickly and gave use a thorough and helpful verbal report in advance of his written report. Thanks for the good service.

Polly Hallchurch

Many thanks for the most invaluable information on your website. I used Philip Cadwell, of McKinlays Chartered Surveyors, who was extremely efficient and thorough and he has already supplied both myself and my solicitor with a thorough survey of my property. I would certainly use both your service and Mr Cadwell again. Yours sincerely, L Cooper The website worked well. I placed an order with McKinlays and was satisfied with their work. L Terry The website worked well. I chose Philip Cadwell - McKinlays Chartered Surveyors. Im very happy with the service they provided Joanne C The web site operated very well and the information provided allowed me to make further enquiries and to select a suitable surveyor. I placed an order with Mckinlays Chartered Surveyors. The work was carried out by Philip Cadwell - He was very professional he did what he said he would when he said he would. The service from start to finish was excellent I would recommend it Regards Peter K I ended up using Mckinlays Chartered Surveyors. They were not the cheapest, but we were very impressed with the service they provided, especially the On Site Consultation that they provide, we found it very helpful to meet Philip Cadwell on site at the end of his Survey. He took us through the property pointing out the various issues he found on his Survey. The written report came very soon after the survey. I would use this company again. James I found the web site very helpful. I did appoint a surveyor Phil Cadwell and this was based on price and his proactive manner in contacting me by email very quickly after the initial enquiry. Personally I would always prefer any additional info by email then I could follow-up with a phone call rather than have people call me. I was very happy with the service provided both on the day when I met the surveyor and receiving his report within a week of the visit. Belinda The web site was very helpful as we did not know the area and we placed an order with McKinlays. They were extremely friendly and knowledgeable and happy to go the extra mile. J. Davey The web site worked well and I used McKinlays Chartered Surveyors. Everything was very satisfactory. E. George The website operated satisfactorily And I subsequently followed up by placing order with Philip Cadwell . The work has now been carried out, it was excellent. May be worth reminding people that the valuation within a survey may not be accepted by your bank (they have their own surveyors and only accept valuations from their listed people). The website operated well. We placed an order with Philip Cadwell of MacKinlays. The work has been carried out and our clients are extremely pleased with Philips work, report etc. We will definitely use the site again and also recommend Philip Caldwell. M Warford The website operated satisfactorily. I used McKinlays Chartered survey - Philip Cadwell for the survey Very satisfied with the service received. Would highly recommend this surveyor. Rosemary I was very pleased with the reaction of the website to my request and, as a consequence, engaged Mckinlays Chartered Surveyors to survey a property in Somerset. The work was carried out entirely to my satisfaction and Mr Cadwell provided a friendly and efficient service. I would certainly use the website again and would recommend Mckinlays to our friends. Regards E P Whealing The website worked very well when I requested the estimates for a homebuyer survey. It was a quick and easy process and I placed an order with Mckinlays and the final quote was as per the quote from localsurveyorsdirect. The survey was carried out last week and we are very satisfied with the report. Overall a very efficient service. I would use it again. D. Rowden The website operated successfully and gave me 9 estimates. Only 3 surveyors followed up, but this may be because they were the nearest to where I live, even although some of them operate right across Somerset/Devon. I did use one of them - Philip Cadwell of Mckinlays. I met him on site and was happy with the level/quantity of information he provided. B Brooks The website worked,very well thanks. I placed an order with Mckinlays CS. Very happy with survey and price. Regards, Richard From Mr Keith B. June 2011. We took one of the quotes offered by your website. The work was carried out quickly, efficiently and entirely to our satisfaction. We chose Mr Phil Cadwell to carry out the work, and we will certainly use his services again. Your website was invaluable as we live in France and would have had to spend ages trawling the net looking for a suitable professional. Thank you again. Regards. The website worked well. I placed an order with Mckinlays Chartered Surveyors. The work was carried out quickly and they produced a very thorough report. L Caldognetto I was very pleased with the way your website dealt with our request. We had an EPC done on our property by Mr Philip Cadwell, of Beaminster. He was very quick and diligent about his business, and at a very good price.
