I found Sophie to be very helpful and had no problem at all in rearranging the original appointment. She supplied a very detailed survey report with great photos, some conducted by a drone to capture the roof and chimney condition. In all a good experience and I would definitely recommend.

Speedy and comprehensive level 3 survey

I recently engaged Gavin at Blaker Collins to carry out a Level 3 survey on a large residential property in Sevenoaks. The survey was carried out very quickly and within a few days I received a very comprehensive report including hundreds of helpful photos. The report was excellent, easy to follow and very clear as to recommend actions. Gavin was extremely helpful and easy to work with.

Requested a Level Two Home survey

Requested a Level Two Home survey, which they completed with superb attention to detail and use of technology to investigate all areas of the property (drones for roof pictures). High quality photos of each area and detailed explanations of findings and recommendations covering 85 pages.

Sophie completed a very comprehensive and professional survey for us. All interactions with Blaker Collins were positive and helpful, the support team were very responsive and we were able to chat to Sophie about the survey results afterwards which was particularly helpful. Highly recommended!

Great service

Gavin and the team were very helpful every step of the way. Very friendly and informative both before and after the survey I would recommend their home buyer services any day of the week.

Our comments

We have a very good communication with the office and got a very quick service too. Gavin, the surveyor, has written an excellent report covering every part of the property in plain language with the explanation.
We found the report very helpful and reassuring.
He was available on phone to discuss our concerns and we are satisfied with his excellent service.

Would highly recommend using Blaker Collins. They were very quick in responding and booked us promptly in for a survey. The survey itself was incredibly detailed but also clear in that we could understand any issues. Gavin also spoke through the report to us and highlighted all key parts. He also was very honest in that we did not require a level 3 survey that we paid for, and only needed a level 2 and then refunded the difference. We would definitely use Gavin and the team again. Thank you!

Excellent Service

We had a Level 2 Home Buyers survey completed by Blaker Collins. The survey was detailed throughout the entire property. The surveyor also was flexible for wait for us at the property after completing the survey to discuss the key areas we had concerns on at the property together. And was also able to give us some further advice we requested following the survey report being issued. We would thoroughly recommend Blaker Collins to others

Excellent service

Buying an older property we were a little nervous about potential issues but Gavin from Blaker Collins was excellent. Not only did he produce an in-depth survey but he walked through the report and answered all our queries on a call helping us understand the report further. Always available at the end of an email or call we couldn't recommend them enough!

Above & Beyond

As first time buyers you're always worried about every step of the process but one thing is for sure from start to finish our journey with Blaker Collins has been one of the best parts. Can't think of a time that I haven't been able to get through to Gavin & team, always available to talk through my queries and his advice is invaluable. We've used Gavin twice now and he's been nothing short of amazing.

Excellent Customer Service

I spoke to Gavin at Blaker Collins last week regarding my property. Gavin was extremely personable over the phone and took his time to discuss my damp situation/concerns with me in detail. Gavin not only provided support/guidance over the phone, but also via email. Thank you Gavin for adding value. Great customer service offered.

Excellent communication, detailed, clear report.

Sophie carried out a Level 3 survey for us on a bungalow with several extensions and outbuildings. All the team were friendly and helpful. Sophie is very professional and thorough, providing a very detailed report with many photos, costs for works needed and very clear explanations. Sophie was available to talk through the survey straight away and again in more detail once we had read the report. She is very patient and approachable. We would definitely use this company again.
