I recently used Surveying People for my Level 3 RICS survey as a first-time buyer, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received—especially from Ross. The survey was incredibly detailed and was delivered promptly, giving me plenty of time to review everything. The report was easy to understand and contained very helpful information that highlighted important issues with the property. What really stood out was the follow-up phone call with Ross after I received the report. He took the time to go through my questions in a friendly, down-to-earth way, explaining everything clearly without making me feel rushed. As a first-time buyer, that human approach gave me the confidence I needed to make an informed decision. I highly recommend Surveying People, and especially Ross, to anyone looking for a thorough, professional, and genuinely helpful surveyor.

Ross was excellent throughout the survey process. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. He also offered follow-up phone calls if we had any further questions after our initial discussion, which was greatly appreciated and gave us real confidence. Ross was encouraging when it came to negotiating a reduction in the purchase price based on the survey findings and provided practical, helpful advice. His support and willingness to go the extra mile made the whole process much less stressful. I would highly recommend Surveying People to anyone purchasing a property.

Great overall experience with Surveying People. I had a Level 3 survey carried out on a property I'm purchasing. Ross, who carried out the survey, produced a very detailed report 5 days after the survey was carried out. The report highlighted things clearly and it was easy to digest. The post survey call with Ross was extremely helpful as I had a few questions which were answered.
