Helpful company
Spoke with Lee who advised me the best survey to have for the property I was purchasing. Ashton Lee were understandable when my initial purchase fell through prior to the survey being completed and were on hand to help with my new purchase. Report was very thorough with the offer to go through any of it with me. Would definitely recommend.

Helpful survey
Ashton Lee were recommended to me by as estate agent. Jordan carried out the survey and the document was with me within 5 days. The report was very clear with plenty of photos to support the points made. I also spoke with Jordan on the phone with a few questions and found this helpful. I would certainly use them again.

Brilliant service!
I am really impressed with the level of service received from Ashton Lee Surveyors. I was recommended to use them by my solicitor who had received some really good reports from them from other clients. I was very hesitant and nervous to go ahead with the survey because we have had 2 failed attempts of buying a house but Lee was very good and thorough in my initial phone call with him, explained the whole process in a lot of detail which was great. I managed to get my survey booked within 2 days of giving all the details to Ashton Lee.
Jordan Bole conducted my survey and honestly I am so impressed with how great the report is. Jordan’s report was really thorough and extremely easy to follow and understand. I was really happy with the overall service given. Thank you Jordan, I couldn’t recommend you enough!!
Thank you all at Ashton Lee 😊

I needed a survey in very short notice
I needed a survey in very short notice, Lee went out of his way to do this for us! From the first day of contact the survey was done and the report was back to us within a week. Everything is explained very well and Jordan made sure to ask if I understood everything or needed to go through everything when the survey was sent to us. Their service the whole way though is great and I will definitely use them again in the future.

Fantastic company to work with. Communication was great throughout the process. Fast service, and the report itself was well formatted with plenty of photos. We particularly liked that the report contained all the good about the property, not just the negative. Recommended!

Lee was very helpful, very professional and accomodating when surveying the house we were buying. The survey itself was thorough and very clear for us to understand.
The price was reasonable and the service was great.

Thorough, professional and friendly service
We got Lee's number from an agent, sadly the agent turned out to be really poor and the only good thing we got from the process was Lee's contact!
We have used Lee twice now.
The service was so thorough; great communication; polite, friendly, helpful and professional.
Our report was with us within a week.
Would highly recommend.

Legit and easy surveying process
Was very cautious about who to book a survey with at first. Glad we went with Lee in the end who managed to fit us in for a survey very quickly and got the report through within 5 days. The report was very thorough and easy to understand. The results led to us withdrawing our offer however, will definitely be using Lee for future surveys.

Hi Ben,
Thank you for your kind review! I completely understand how important it is to choose the right surveyor, so I’m really pleased you were happy with the service. While it’s never ideal when a survey leads to withdrawing an offer, it’s always better to have all the facts upfront. I’d be more than happy to assist with any future surveys when the time comes!
Wishing you the best of luck with your property search.

House survey
I recently worked with Ashton Lee Survey for a house survey, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service. Ashton was thorough, professional, and provided a detailed report that gave me a clear understanding of the property’s condition. On top of that, he was incredibly friendly and approachable, taking the time to explain everything in a way that made me feel comfortable and confident in my decisions. His excellent communication and personable nature made the entire process stress-free. I highly recommend Ashton Lee Survey to anyone in need of a reliable and efficient surveyor. A truly exceptional experience!

Really pleased with the experience
I posted on a local Facebook group asking for recommendations for Surveyors and Lee was the most recommended. We were looking for a Home Buyers Report. We contacted Lee and he was very helpful, and explained how the whole process worked. We received the report a couple of days ago, and it’s very thorough. It has given us great insight into the condition of the house we’re buying. Really pleased with the experience.
