I really recommend Surveying People. The survey was easy to book in, carried out ahead of time and they recognised the urgency of my timescale and issued the report early. The report itself was very thorough and detailed, super job, thanks Ross.

Used Surveying People 3 times now in my very lengthy property search! Ross and Syed have been absolutely brilliant. They give you lots of their time after the survey has been done ensuring everything is understood and all questions are answered. They don’t speak in jargon and really speak in simple English helping amateurs like myself understand the report in detail. After your initial call with them they still make themselves available if you have further questions later down the line! Would highly recommend

We decided to use Surveying People after looking at their Google reviews & we’re so glad we did! Shazmeena was so friendly & helpful and Ross Richards produced a very detailed survey report. They have very competitive pricing & also offered a free drone survey. They also offer the option of having a call with Ross after the survey to discuss anything on the report. I’d highly recommend using them

Recommended the Surveying People by a colleague who had used them before. They were cheaper than the other quotes we had provided by an estate agent and mortgage broker. The report was incredibly thorough, had the bonus of drone photography and a phone call with the surveyor after the report had been received to discuss any points further.
Always sceptical about whether getting a report is worth the money but in an our particular instance it was, and revealed some aspects of the property that we hadn’t seen on our inspections, so definitely worthwhile. Thanks Ross and team.

Extremely detailed and thorough survey, catching all the things we expected and picking up on lots more areas we missed.
The survey was well laid out and easy to follow while providing all the necessary details and expected costs. On top of this, the follow up call with Ross was really helpful and I have no hesitation in calling him back with any questions.
Easy to book, very fast turnaround (especially for the Christmas period), great communication, and good value for money.

So impressed by our experience working with Ross - the quote was very competitive and included a drone survey (which we were keen to have covered as we heard there were roof works required on the property we were trying to purchase). The report was very detailed and included lots of photos. We were then able to book in a time for a follow up call the following week - Ross took the time to answer all of my questions, looked over additional documentation whilst we were on the call and provided really clear explanations for the various issues identified and potential fixes required. Whilst he ultimately advised us not to proceed with the purchase, I now have a much better understanding of the causes of damp and subsistence and would not hesitate to work with Ross again whenever we do find our next property. Highly recommended!

I used Surveying People for a L3 Buildings Survey and as it was my first time in using them, I was slightly nervous as the communication at the start was not always there such as not acknowledging the money transferred to their bank account. I had to pay in advance of the survey and once the survey was conducted, I had to wait for 6 working days before receiving the report. The Survey Report made up for the wait as it was very detailed and contained many photographs of the issues identified. The long list of costs to make the property right assisted me in budgeting and which I raised with the seller. The roof photographs taken by a drone were very good, listing the issues with the roof and chimney, as well as stains visible in the joints of the guttering. I am pleased with the report and had a half hour consultation with the surveyor who informed me in the detail the issues and answering questions that I had in mind. Overall, I would recommend them and would use them again.

A must for anyone who is looking to purchase a property. I had a RICS Level 3 Home Survey done. Drone survey helped me identify issues with the roof that saved me money, this deducted from the purchase price of the property. I would have overpaid for property and put more money in to fix any other issues without the survey.
Surveyor was diligent, friendly and informative, fantastic service!

I had a fantastic experience with Ross at Surveying People. The entire process was seamless, from scheduling the survey with the admin staff to receiving the level 3 RICS report.
The report was incredibly thorough, and I was really impressed with the detail of defects highlighted in-particular with the roofing cover, and chimney stacks. Ross explained complex findings in a way that I could easily understand, and his recommendations were invaluable for making informed decisions about my property.
Thanks to surveying people I managed to negotiate a much better price for the property due to all of the unexpected costs of the remedial works.
I highly recommend Surveying People to anyone in need of professional surveying services. They exceeded my expectations and provided peace of mind during a significant property transaction. I will undoubtedly turn to them for any future surveying needs.

They did an excellent job for the RICS Level 3 report but it's a 4-star just due to slight mismanagement of expectations. They promised a post-survey call but I have yet too hear back about it. It hasn't been a full week since receiving the report so perhaps they're out of office. I'll update this review later if so.
Update: Got a call from Alam the day after this review and he kindly helped me with my queries. Soon after, Ross got back to me with a structural engineer recommendation. I'm satisfied with their service and have updated my rating in response.

The energy assessment didn't require a new certificate so Syed sent some notes via email. Both took the time to go through the findings with me via phone. All in all you get a very personal service and you feel you get the attention you seek when making such a huge investment. Thanks both! 🙂

Ross from Surveying People carried out a pre-purchase Level 3 survey for us. He did a really thorough job, and was incredibly helpful throughout the process. We needed additional information not traditionally part of the survey that the insurance company had enquired about, which he answered at no extra cost. After the report was ready, he took more time to go through all my questions in a follow-up call. He explained what everything meant, what the options were, how serious or not various things were. It was so helpful and gave us a lot of peace of mind that we weren't biting off more than we could chew, plus a small laundry list of touch-ups that we'll need to do as and when we take ownership! He was responsive and kind throughout, and I'd happily recommend him / Surveying People. They weren't the cheapest option we were quoted, but my partner and I really feel like we got excellent value for money with this service.

Basically what the main issues where and what to do and how the rest of the house is fine based on its age. Made the whole thing so easy to understand. He was i formative and very patient.
