Very impressed with this surveyor company.
They produced a fully comprehensive report with very few caveats like we couldn’t inspect this or that because we couldn’t get access etc..
The report (which was lengthy) was produced in a few days which didn’t hold up the buying process at all.
He gave us a very helpful overview face to face after he’d finished, which basically tells you either there’s nothing serious to worry about or it’s going to cost a lot to sort. Which is just what you need.
Would definitely recommend.

Richard is very friendly and knowledgeable.
After completing the survey, he met me at the property to discuss his findings, which was extremely helpful and saved me a lot of time. He took the time to explain everything clearly and addressed any questions I had and even gave some advice about potential extension.
I received the report within a few days, and what was more impressive was how quick he was responding to our follow-up queries. I highly recommend Richard!

Matt was super helpful - he was patient in understanding key areas we were looking to understand, clearly took time at the property during the survey and provided a fully comprehensive report. I liked the optionality of meeting him or having a video call to discuss initial findings before the report was sent. The service was on time, comprehensive and made us feel comfortable with next steps.

Very detailed report! Also being able to walk around property with Richard as he explains what he has founds in English is invaluable.

Comprehensive report issued promptly. Follow up discussions clarified all our queries. Would highly recommend this company

Richard Cobb had a very good way about him with the vendors, seemed to have kept them very much onside which allowed him to walk me round on the day of the survey, pointing out issues.
The level 3 report produced was highly detailed, but written in plain English.
I would definitely use Sanders Cobb again based on my experience and their professionalism.

Fantastic service from start to finish. Clear communication throughout, with a phone call on the day of the survey to discuss findings (with the option of a face to face meeting). Thank you!

Reply from Sanders Cobb Chartered Surveyors
Would highly recommend. Emails about the process are clear with fast response to any questions. I received a summary phone call very soon after the survey had been carried out, which was very informative. Would definitely use again!

We recently engaged Sanders Cobb on a level 3 survey of a detached house prior to purchasing. The service from start to finish was exceptional. Meeting Richard at the property on the day of the survey was greatly appreciated and very helpful. The report which followed was extremely comprehensive, but also very fair and balanced, with practical recommendations on how to address issues. We would not hesitate to use Sanders Cobb again and will certainly recommend to friends and family. Many thanks Richard and Matt!

Scheduled a level 2 survey quickly, talked us through the main findings and then gave us a detailed report. Richard was very responsive to our emails and answered all of our follow up questions.

Couldn't recommend any more. I dealt with Richard, who not only provided a comprehensive survey, he met with me in person and went through the entire house which gave me extra comfort in the property purchase. They were not the cheapest quote I had received but the saying 'you get what you pay for' certainly applies here, and the results actually allowed me to negotiate a reduction in price, that covered the cost and more. To round it all off Richard made himself available for follow up calls where I had further questions. All in all a very good experience.

I had an excellent experience with Sanders Cobb Chartered Surveyors when conducting a survey for the house I’m purchasing. Their attention to detail was outstanding, and they provided a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report that helped me make an informed decision. They were professional, punctual, and took the time to explain key findings, answering all my questions with clarity. The whole process was smooth, and I truly appreciate their expertise and diligence. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable surveyor!

Matt at SC was great - clear on email during booking process, not pushy for higher levels and quick to call with summary details following the inspection. He then send a very comprehensive and detailed Level 3 report identifying things to look out for, and answering follow up questions. Some terminology required query or internet searching but there are useful template diagrams etc in the report to outline them as well. Booked based on great TP reviews and was not disappointed.
Would suggest one work-on: would be good to understand what in a report is a worst case scenario risk, or one that could threaten to stop the conveyance entirely, versus what are things more to look out for/monitor but ultimately shouldn't put us off.

Richard provided a meticulous Level 2 Home Survey Report for our property purchase. The attention to detail provided in his analysis was exactly what we were hoping for. I have had survey reports on other property purchases, and this was the best by a distance. Would highly recommend. Communication was excellent. And the option was given to attend the property during the survey, and also to speak through the report on the phone afterwards.

We recently worked with Matt from Sanders Cobb to conduct a Level 3 Buyer’s Survey on the four-bedroom detached house we are purchasing, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the service he provided.
Matt was exceptionally thorough, leaving no stone unturned during the survey. The result was an incredibly detailed 71-page report, complete with pictures highlighting key areas of the property, concerns, and clear guidance on what would need addressing. The report was well-structured, easy to navigate, and included concise summaries of the work required, which helped us prioritise any necessary fixes.
Matt also went above and beyond by inviting us to view the property after the survey. He walked us through the areas needing attention, which was both informative and reassuring. Thanks to Matt’s professionalism and diligence, we have full confidence in our decision to purchase this property, knowing there are no major issues to worry about.
We highly recommend Matt and Sanders Cobb for anyone seeking a comprehensive and reliable property survey. An excellent service from start to finish!

My husband and I recently commissioned a Level 3 Home Survey from Sanders Cobb Chartered Surveyors, and we were thoroughly impressed with the experience. From the outset, the surveyor was knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to explain the various survey options, providing a follow-up email with additional details and useful resources.
Once we decided to proceed, the process was seamless. The surveyor demonstrated great care in understanding our specific concerns regarding the property, and even reviewed our conveyancing documents in detail, providing thoughtful feedback.
On the day of the survey, the surveyor efficiently coordinated with the seller’s estate agent to arrange access, making the entire process hassle-free for us. After the survey, he took the time to thoroughly explain his findings and answered all of our questions.
The report, a comprehensive 77-page document, was delivered ahead of schedule, well within the promised timeframe of 4-5 days. The report was thorough, with clear photographs and detailed observations, and has been consistently praised by others who have reviewed it.
We highly recommend Sanders Cobb Chartered Surveyors, and particularly Matt, for anyone requiring a building survey. His professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding.
