Home Condition Survey

We used Obsurv to undertake a 'Home Condition Survey' on a property we were purchasing. The report was comprehensive, with issues well documented & highlighted. Peter also took the time to talk us through key aspects of the report.
Will use again & would recommend.

An excellent survey

It was an excellent survey and completed promptly. We chose the higher price and I considered it well worth it. I was very impressed with the level of detail, the scope of coverage and the use of photographs as evidence of points raised, including drone footage of the roof.

The most useful aspect for me of the survey was that it gave me the clarity to make a decision about the property that I trusted. It broadened and balanced my perspective. My initial appeal of the charm and beauty of the house became offset by an awareness of the level of financial, emotional and time commitments that it would need, along with an awareness of potential problems. I also shared it with friends and family and gained their views too. On that basis of the survey, I didn't take it but I felt confident I'd made the right decision and was happy with that.

Excellent - 5/5

Would highly recommend Peter - he carried out a very comprehensive survey for us, which went into plenty of detail & included pictures of exterior and interior of the house. After receiving the survey we had a couple of questions about issues he’d picked up with the property and he came back to us v quickly - at the weekend - to talk them through. Top service!

Peter Williams - Obsurv LTD HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Peter has just completed an extremely comprehensive survey of the property we intend to purchase, taking time over Easter to finalise the report. Communication throughout the process was fantastic. We spoke both before and after the survey and he was able to put my mind at rest over a couple of concerns I had with the property.

Thoroughly professional and highly recommended. Thank you Peter.

Seller - whose home Peter was instructed to survey

Peter was instructed to survey my property on behalf of my buyers and their mortgage company.

He was very communicative, thorough and personable.

He explained the things he was going to advise in the survey, so I as the seller was kept fully aware even though I had not instructed him which was very helpful. Our sale is now about to exchange.

Thanks so much would definitely recommend!

Highly recommend

Highly recommend. Peter was quick to answer my initial queries, he spoke directly to the agent and organised the survey within a few days notice. The report was issued within the week of initial contact. It was well laid out, had pictures identifying the issues as well as the severity of the issue. I will certainly use again so thank you.

Very Impressed with the service…

Very Impressed with the service provided by Peter.
We had a few complications and concerns with the property that he was kind enough to discuss thoroughly with me so I could understand and he took the time to explain the report he produced. Very comprehensive report and overall a great service.
We will be sure to use him again!
