So glad we went with Home Surveys Herts and we highly recommend them. The communication from Michael was great from the start, advising on the level of survey that best suited us, and then getting both the survey and report done very quickly. The report was thorough, clear and Michael then talked us through the main finding in a call afterwards to ensure we understood it all, and advised on possible next steps. Couldn't have asked for more.
I'm impressed; our survey was carried out within a week of us requesting it and the finished report was delivered soon after. The report was comprehensive, detailed and written in such a manner that it could be understood by both laymen and more experienced persons. Communication was excellent and someone picks up the phone when you need to discuss something. Excellent.
From the initial enquiry, through to issuing the level 3 home survey report, Michael was great. The quote and booking process was easy. He was responsive to questions, and called me after he carried out the survey on the property to update me verbally on the main points. The report itself was very thorough. I highly recommend.
Michael was very helpful from the outset as well as being very knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble and he was very happy to discuss in detail any areas of concern. I would recommend his services.
