House valuation

The Valuer was prompt and courteous and the report was available in 24 hours.
After going through the report I consider it a fair reflection of my property.

Excellent service

Excellent service. Prompt appointment. Thorough report back within 24 hours. Survey itself carried out very professionally with time for questions and advice. The only reason have not given 5 stars is that I am not in a position to pass comment on all report findings or recommendations until further surveys complete.

Highly recommend

Brilliant service, James is thorough, efficient and the report detailed and easy to digest. We’ve used Charlecole Estates twice now over the years to survey two properties and on both occasions James has been readily available via phone and email to summarise the report and help with any questions. Would highly recommend.

Clear and useful Advice provided

Charlecote Estates provided an in depth review of the property surveyed and highlighted the issues that came with the property to the extent where I have decided it might not be worth going through with the purchase. There were plenty of after survey questions which have been addressed in a timely manner. I would recommend the surveyor and may need another survey done on another property should I pull out of this one and find another one.

Excellent service

Excellent service. James is very helpful and clear with his findings and his advice. The report was clear and comprehensive. I didnt need to follow up with any questions as the sale fell through but i'm sure James would have been willing to deal with any further requests for information.
I will be using Charlecore Estates for my next survey.

Second survey

Another very detailed survey. James called up to discuss the results on the day and the written report followed later the same day. We were very happy with the service and would definitely recommend him.

The survey itself was great

The survey itself was great. Really good level of detail and points to consider. Friendly service.
My only challenge was communication to arrange a date. May have just been holidays but was a bit of a challenge.

Country property survey

Comprehensive and informative, it provided a good basis for positive discussions with the owners last week. Content and recommendations agreed. Copied to our solicitor for information.

The sewage treatment plant is an anaerobic digester, not a septic tank; and requested comment on ground water flooding was not included, but discussed later by phone.

Suggested important inclusion is age of boiler in a 20 year old house. This was 6 year.

Charlecote Estates - Excellent

Charlecote Estates conducted an excellent RICS Homebuyers Survey for my prospective purchase. The report was clear, concise and covered every area in great detail. The surveyor was excellent- and communicated clearly with me prior to, during, and after the survey. I would not hesitate to use their services again; and I highly recommend Charlecote Estates.

Great service, highly recommended

James is very professional and reliable, I have got a call from him at 6:30pm on the same day after the survey and clearly explained the problems and suggested actions, I called him again 2 weeks later for further questions and clarifications, he is still very patient and helpful to discuss. Highly recommended for the smooth transaction.

A good informative report

We got good informative phonecalls before and after the survey. It was very good to talk through the salient points. The report was easily understandable and we received it promptly the next day.
