I had a very disappointing experience…

I had a very disappointing experience with this company. While the initial conversation was informative and the representative seemed knowledgeable, the interaction quickly turned uncomfortable when I questioned the value of the service being offered.
Instead of clearly demonstrating why their service stands out, the discussion became overly hypothetical and, at times, felt dismissive of my perspective as a customer. I was left with the impression that my decision not to proceed was being judged rather than respected.
I have no issue paying a premium when the value is clear, but I do expect to be treated with basic respect throughout the process. Unfortunately, this experience left a very negative impression, and I would not consider using this company in the future.

Dear Pulkit
Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent interaction with our team, and for taking the time to speak with me today.
I appreciated the opportunity to discuss your experience in more detail and to address your concerns directly. Following our call, I will now be reviewing this matter internally to ensure we fully understand what happened and identify any areas for improvement.
We recognise the importance of maintaining a professional and respectful tone at all times, particularly during discussions around pricing, and your comments have been noted as part of this review.
Our role isn’t to convince every client to proceed it’s to make sure every client leaves the conversation feeling respected, even if they choose not to use us.
Kind regards,
Sharon

AMAZING!

We can't recommend Novello Chartered Surveyors highly enough! From booking through to survey through to aftercare, Novello have exceeded our expectations. Bill, our lovely surveyor, has been amazing. He produced our Report incredibly quickly and has answered all of our questions thoroughly. Nothing is too much trouble and he has put our minds at rest over our house purchase. He has been a godsend to us! He is so very knowledgeable and also caring and approachable. He really is a credit to Novello's. THANK YOU SO MUCH Bill!

Excellent, fast and stress‑free service

I recently used this company for a survey on the house I’m buying, and overall a great experience. They were incredibly easy to deal with from start to finish, and were the most competitive on price out of the three companies we asked for a quote. The turnaround time was quick, which really took a lot of stress out of the buying process.

Professional, efficient, and reliable — I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing a survey done.

It is such a pleasure working with the Norvello team.
From quotation phase to completing surveys has been such an easy experience.
Our most recent survey was conducted by Danny Price and yet again I can only give praise for the excellent service and after service received from him.

It was very easy to book a survey and pay online and an appointment was quickly made with my estate agent to access the property. I received a phone call following access with a brief summary and reassurance there were no major issues, which was helpful and put my mind at rest. We opted for the level 3 survey with drone images of the roof. The report arrived the next day, was easy to understand, included plenty of images and advice on issues to resolve/improve. Chris was happy to answer follow up enquiries. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Very poor quality and service

Very poor quality and service. If anyone is looking at commissioning them for RICS level 3 then it's a waste of money and time as in my case they just did a visual inspection and couldn't even differentiate between concrete or bricks while the same was immediately captured by the lender basic valuation survey. Post purchase customer service and complaints process is also just a shamble with no interest in resolving the problem. Forget about refund I didn't even get the corrected report and had to commission another structural engineering report and agree to lenders term as it was too late to negotiate with sellers

Reply from Novello Chartered Surveyors

Dear Vin
We are sorry to read your comments, however we do feel it is important to clarify a number of points.
As stated previously the property has been substantially altered and modernised, including external rendered finishes and later alterations, which can conceal the original form of construction during a non-invasive visual inspection. To the roof structure has also been significantly modified to create additional accommodation, a configuration that is not commonly seen in Easiform built properties again presenting inherent limitations for inspection. An RICS Level 3 survey is a detailed visual inspection, and access to all structural elements is not always possible, particularly where alterations conceal original construction. In relation to construction type, surveyors consider a range of information available at the time of inspection. Whilst EPC data is not relied upon, it is reviewed alongside other sources, and in this instance neighbouring properties were also recorded as standard construction, which is a relevant contextual factor. As stated last week the report will be amended and sent over to you.
With regard to your comments on service and the complaints process. Your concerns were reviewed in line with our formal procedures, and we responded accordingly.

Efficient, Thorough and Professional

We've had dealings with Tom and Martin - A fantastic service from start to finish. The survey quote was provided in full with no hidden costs, and the report itself was completed promptly, and both the seller and buyer were impressed with the turnaround time. The detailed run-through of the report was extremely helpful and demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise, which also helped the sale/ purchase sail through smoothly. Highly recommended.

Easy to book!

I’ve booked in a level 3 survey with Novello. I had some issues with getting a valuation as I needed a specific type of survey for this, Marni Manuwa has gone above and beyond with helping us facilitate the request. The team are very responsive and keep you updated as things progress, would recommend booking with Novello
