Building Surveys, Waterlooville, Hampshire, C Brewer - August 2022Homebuyer Survey, Liphook - J Kirkby - May 2022
Promptness of response : Quick quote and fast response to call and email queries.
Quality of service : Although the result and findings were unfortunate the thorough and detailed survey saved us a 30 year commitment to a property that turned out to be rotten from the ground up. When looking at it logically rather than emotionally this home buyers survey was incredible value for money when it put us off a 370k house superficially presented well but terribly finished and hiding horrific potential money pit problems. Unwelcome feedback but bang on accurate. Confirmed by a follow up invasive survey of areas of concern and then triple confirmed by a walk through with a builder and joiner. House was a mess with a coat of paint over the top. Highly recommended even if the findings mean you can't proceed with the purchase.
Value for money : Harsh sensing report proved dead accurate after further inspection. Saved us from making a £370k commitment to a house rotting from the ground up despite the lick of paint hiding the worst of the issues.
Professionalism : Great communication throughout
