Excellient Service, very reasonable price
Wayne has conducted an RICS Lv 3 report for my property which is comprehensively written and easy to understand. The post-survey call is so effective and he explains all the details to help you understand the situation. He also responds quickly to my follow-up queries with patience.
And all these wonderful services are at a very reasonable price. 100% recommended~!!
Brilliant service and cost effective
Very clear and comprehensive survey report, and fantastic communication throughout the entire process. The level of detailed was exactly what was required and at a very reasonable cost. The after care call proved invaluable too. Thank you Wayne, will definitely be using again in future!
Excellent
Really valuable personal service adding more value even beyond the excellent report. The pre-survey call gave an opportunity to communicate points of particular interest. Beyond the report, all was clearly explained in the post-survey follow-up call. My impression was of a thorough investigation of the property going beyond what might have filled the RICS L3 template.
The administration was logical, clear and thorough.
Excellent. Recommended.
Very detailed and professional survey
Very detailed and professional survey. Wayne went above and beyond! Highly recommend.
Brilliant service
Was referred to from a friend that has used the Wayne’s services multiple times. The documents are easy to read and very detailed. Taking the time to help with any questions. 100% recommend using again.
Exceptional service from Buckley's
Exceptional service from Buckley's, from start to end. Extremely efficient and friendly communication from the admin team, the opportunity to speak to Wayne by phone before and after the survey, and excellent, detailed reports. We ended up having a level 3 survey on a house which had various extensions, and Wayne was fantastic and generous with his time in helping us to understand the various items he'd highlighted. After that purchase fell through (nothing to do with the survey!), we had a level 2 survey on a more straightforward flat, with similarly excellent service.
Wayne is professional and personable, clearly extremely experienced, and we really felt he went above and beyond, not least by helping us not to waste money on a survey on a property he suspected might have building regs issues (he was right, and we saved ourselves a lot of time and money!).
For comparison's sake, last time I bought a property I used a well-reviewed large national company for a level 3 survey. There was no contact before the survey, particular things I'd requested the report cover weren't mentioned (and there was no communication beforehand to tell me that they wouldn't or couldn't be), and it proved impossible to speak to the actual surveyor after the report was issued, whether to clarify points or even to follow up on a glaring error in the report which added plenty of stress to the purchase for both me and the seller!
With that in mind, we will not hesitate to seek out Buckley's again when the time comes to move. We couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you so much!
Excellent surveyor
We had a Level 3 survey with Wayne.
He splits the process into 3 easy to understand parts and is very thorough throughout. We especially appreciated the post survey conversation to run through the report in detail and ask questions as required.
He was very friendly and professional and we would have no hesitation using him again.
I highly recommend Wayne
I highly recommend Wayne. He is very responsive and communication was great. The report was very thorough and he answered all my questions during the call after I read and digested it. I am happy I found Wayne and would definitely use Wayne's services again in the future
Level 3 survey
Wayne conducted a Level 3 survey for the property I'm purchasing and I'm very pleased with the whole process. From the start, the communication was great, he was always easy to reach and responded to my calls and texts very quickly. The survey report was very thorough. Included in the service was a 1h post-survey call which I personally found very useful, because I could clarify any bits I was unsure about having read the report. I'd 100% recommend Wayne's services and I'd work with him again in the future.
Fabulous - A professional surveyor!
Waye is a very responsive and professional surveyor. After carrying out the survey, a detailed and clear report with pictures available within a few days followed by a pro-long post survey conversation (sorry, I have too many questions in mind!). Wayne is very patient in answering all my questions and to explain the points to note one-by-one with advice. If its your first time buyer, I highly recommend Wayne to you. He will definitely provide you his valuable advice on how good/bad the property is. Thank you Wayne and the team!
Happy with the service provided
Wayne carried out a survey on a house that we were going to purchase and I have to say that he provided a thorough report highlighting everything that we needed to know for us to decide whether we went ahead with this property or not.
Based on the report and the post survey conversation that I had with Wayne - I feel that we avoided a lot of problems in the long run by not going ahead with the purchase.
All in all - I would not hesitate in recommending Wayne and his team to others who wish to carry out a survey.

I've used Wayne for two surveys now and both were very thorough. We had a call ahead of time to discuss any particular things to look at, and a detailed discussion afterwards in order to fully understand the report. Very friendly and professional.

Amazing Service - Amazing Company
We are so happy we went with this company to carry out a survey on our purchase before completion. Wayne and his team are so so lovely, very professional and really really care about their customers. The report we received was outstanding and easy to read and Wayne called for a follow up call after to go through everything. They are always available to pick up the phone and answer any questions swiftly. I wouldn’t use anyone else now and I feel very fortunate to of found Wayne who is just a lovely, genuine man.
Thank you so much Wayne and his team.

Very professional and helpful
Very helpful and professional
Very helpful and professional. We had a very in dept and detailed survey of the property we were going to purchase. We had a discussion before the survey visit on what our main concerns were with the property, eg in our case the current heating system and an area of concern we had by the main door. Following the survey visit we received a very detailed survey report and also had a feedback session with Mr. Buckley on his survey.
