Recommended

The Riskaverse team were helpful throughout, from initial contact and setting up the survey with Jack through to Katie's survey.

I particularly appreciated the email from Katie immediately after completing the level 3 survey I requested providing an overview of what she had found and the speed at which she delivered a very comprehensive report. Other surveyors leave you somewhat in the dark and there can be an anxious wait to learn what red flags might have been found.

Very pleased with the service provided and no reservations in recommending the Riskaverse team.

I just want to thank Katie @ Risk Averse for her help during 2021 in particular....the housing market has been extremely busy and Katie and her team have delivered a very efficient, professional and friendly service as usual.. Katie always highlights any major issues within 24 hours of the survey and then sends on the full report after. This is really useful to us as it means we can move forward to the selling process with confidence. if you are looking to buy a property and need a surveyor give Katie a call you won't be disappointed.
Thanks again Katie and keep up the good work.

Competent and reliable

I liked that they told me red flags after 24hrs invited me to ask further questions as it is a lot of technical jargon and I'm a first time buyer. Didn't like that it's exceptionally busy time due to end of stamp duty holiday and found it difficult understanding a few aspects. Really helpful and answered all my questions and concerns thoroughly in the end. Amended review to reflect the service provided. Something like a Mobile contact or call diversion might be a good idea!

Firstly let us apologies for your disappointment. As per your reply we didn't receive your email with questions until 21.19pm on the 21/07/2021. We replied at 11:40am on 23/07/2021. As a small business we are working hard during this extremely busy time to meet everyone's needs and with staff on holidays we have been working long hours.

We are sorry that you feel this way and have explained all our points again in email. We of course inspected the roof void with our own ladders and this was included within your report that was provided to you within the original times set out in your instruction email. We are happy to send you across further notes/ photographs of our survey should you need further explanation or understanding.

Sorry for any inconvenience that this small delay has caused you.

Kind Regards Katie @ Risk Averse Ltd.

Great Service - very impressed

Recently used for a Homebuyers Service. Just received the full report which is very thorough and clear to understand. The service provided all through the process has been excellent. At a particular stressful time (buying a house), the survey has been carried out quickly, professionally and with great customer service. Would recommend.

Excellent service received

Excellent service received. Contacted to enquire about a survey on a house a am in the process of buying. I didn't know what survey to go for an Riskaverse pointed me In The right direction and explained the different options.
It was then booked in straight away with them sorting the date and time out with the estate agent. Once the survey was carried out I was then contacted less then 24hr with briefly any red flags and then the report got emailed to me on time. Quick ,Realibly and professional company cannot fault.

Efficient and friendly service.

Commissioned a survey to inform a house purchase. Survey was conducted promptly, and report delivered well within the estimated timeframe (preceded by a list of 'red flags' the next working day after the survey). Was kept informed throughout the process. Would be happy to use Risk Averse again.

Risk Averse - building survey…

Used Risk Averse for a building survey on a home I bought recently.
Excellent communications straight from my enquiry and had the best price for the survey when I compared other companies.
Spoke to the estate agents and organised the survey to be done a few days later.
Received a red flag report within 24 hours then the full report 11 days later.
Report was very detailed and informative.
I queried a couple of things afterwards and Katie who dealt with my emails was again very helpful and prompt with responses.
Would definitely recommend!

Great service. Friendly and helpful

Katie produced a thoroughly detailed report and answered my additional questions promptly. I am confident that I now know exactly what will need to be addressed once I’ve purchased the new house. I would gladly instruct Katie again in the future.
