Highly recommended

Just received our survey on a second potential purchase and very pleased indeed. Prompt response and a very detailed and comprehensive survey written in an accessible style. Matt was very happy to go through the survey with us one-to-one and we felt well informed and reassured about our purchase. Highly recommended.

Extremely helpful and timely!

Matthew was extremely helpful, very timely and great to deal with. The report was sent through within a week and was very helpful, and easy to read and understand. We also really appreciated getting a brief summary the day of the survey. Could not recommend Sodbury Home Surveys more - we will definitely be recommending Matthew to family and friends in the area.

Great service, highly recommend

Great service, highly recommend Mathew. Our house survey was quickly arranged and the report was sent through within a week. Mathew was great recommending the right survey for us, not money driven. Matthews survey was thorough but clear and concise so very simple to read and understand along with the pictures. We had a follow up call with Mathew soon after who reassuringly answered and clarified our questions. The whole process was very stress free. We were very happy with the whole process that Sodbury home surveys completed for us and would 100% recommend.

Level 3 report on a Cotswold Cottage

Matthew prepared a very detailed and invaluable report on a Cotswolds property that we were buying. The property had a mixture of various aged buildings and outbuilding to survey. He provided a comprehensive report and took the time to explain his findings and guidance in a follow up call. Our experience was very positive and we would recommend his services to others in the future.

Impressed

Very prompt providing a competitive quote and getting booked in. The Level 2 Homebuyers report is very comprehensive and includes photographs. The layout of the report is easily read and any points of concern clearly identified which can be addressed before exchange. I would be happy to recommend Sodbury Home Surveys.

Very professional

Very professional, quick to reply, good local knowledge.
Had a great experience with these guys. They were able to get the survey done to an excellent standard in a short space of time and the follow up call to explain what each section meant was incredibly useful. Have been in touch since to clarify a few points and had speedy replies which is always helpful!
Definitely will be using again.

Excellent survey report

Matthew's service was outstanding in all respects. Extremely thorough survey with very detailed, well illustrated report that was very easy to comprehend. We were interested in an old property and Matthew displayed extensive knowledge of this type of building. His recommendations for us and for our solicitor were invaluable. As well as the comprehensive written report, we also benefited from a really helpful discussion via Zoom, and a number of follow up emails.We would wholeheartedly recommend Sodbury Home Surveys and would definitely engage Matthew again for any home survey

We recently engaged Matthew to carry out a level 3 survey for us and he provided an excellent service from start to finish. Communications were always efficient and the coordination around booking in the survey was all taken care of. Matthew is really friendly, extremely knowledgeable and we received our very detailed but easy to understand report back within the timescale promised. The follow-up call was very useful so we could discuss further everything he investigated. The report has proved invaluable to us, thank you so much. I would highly recommend Sodbury Home Surveys and would use again.
