Smashing service

Beware of Cheap Quotes

We hired a property surveyor from here. The one we chose turned out to be less than professional. He missed the documentation for the central heating system, although it was in plain view. He decided not to examine the plumbing, because the water was turned off - the stop tap was in the garage! And he decided it was too dangerous to enter the loft, so gave no report on the roof space; a vital area for any homebuyer. He later went back, at extra cost, to examine the loft, when the estate agent offered to accompany him to hold his ladder.
All this seemed unnecessary to me. He knew the property was uninhabited, so why didn't he check with the estate agent, where he had to go to collect the keys, before he made his inspection? Unprofessional.

Excellent value, very efficient service

I shopped around for a Homebuyer Survey - with all the expenses that come with buying a house, price was definitely an important factor for us. Homebuyer Online was by far the best price at £400 incl VAT (about £100 cheaper than most others!).
The process was efficient and clearly explained - our surveyor was allocated and carried out the survey within a week of booking. He dealt direct with the Estate Agent making it easy for us. He was really helpful and quick to reply to any queries we had throughout the process. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone!

Great communication and all round service!

Very pleased with the level of communication and updates provided. They definitely put the customer first!
The report was available to download the following working day from the appointment and highlighted some useful points, it was also written in an easy to understand way.
Overall a great service at a great price, I wouldn't hesitate to use/refer them in the future.

Quickly delivered report with inaccuracies.

The Report was delivered before its promised date and contained most of the information required.
I had to respond to the Surveyor as the report failed to report the full number of rooms in the building making us wonder how thoroughly the inspection/survey of the building was carried out.
No corrected accurate Report was reissued.

Best money I've spent...

Maybe I got lucky with Stuart Francis of Monaco Surveyors - I don't know, however Im very relieved he did survey the property I wanted to buy. He called me before he viewed it, and explained that surveys can make for 'depressing reading', so would want to discuss my concerns after I received it. I received the report within 24 hours of him viewing the property - incredible, given the level of detail in it. And Ive had not one conversation with him following the report but several - and he is still committed to helping me make the right decision. Ultimately, he has potentially saved me 10s of thousands of pounds.

Excellent service

Competitively priced, kept me informed throughout and booked in the survey well before others were able to do so. I was also able to contact the surveyor direct with any queries. Easy to use service, would definitely use again.

Very Poor

Booked & paid for the service and was led to believe that a surveyor would contact me within 2 days. No contact whatsoever so tried to contact them by phone no luck. Email no luck. Finally got an email back after 10 days telling me that no local surveyor was available and my fee had been refunded. Sourced a local surveyor myself who was extremely efficient and cheaper. Would not recommend Homebuyer Online.

Not as quick as expected but very happy with the quality of the report

It took well over a week to get the details of the surveyor but the report was produced within a couple of days of the survey and I thought it was thorough and easy to read. I wanted to follow up one of the issues that had been highlighted and the surveyor appeared to be more than happy to spend time discussing the issue with me by phone, and reassured me that the problem was not really as bad as it sounded..

SIX DAYS AND STILL WAITING

No need to elaborate on that..

Telephone message left on answerphone and email sent chasing. No contact made.

If you need a quick survey... well... buyer beware
