I would like to say a huge thank you to Anwar and Chloe at Survey First for the exceptional service we received.
My partner was considering purchasing a bungalow, and I arranged for Survey First to carry out a Level 2 survey on her behalf. We were extremely impressed with the thoroughness of the survey and the detailed report, which was around 70 pages long.
Anwar identified a number of significant issues with the property that we simply would not have been aware of without such a thorough inspection. Having carefully gone through his report, my partner ultimately decided not to proceed with the purchase.
Although obviously disappointing at the time, we are actually very grateful that Anwar found these problems before the purchase went ahead. His report gave us the information we needed to make what could have been a very important and potentially costly decision. In that respect, the survey was absolutely invaluable.
Anwar was fantastic throughout. Whenever I contacted him, he responded very quickly and was always helpful, approachable and happy to answer any questions I had. It was reassuring to know that we could contact him and receive a prompt response.
I would also like to give a special mention to Chloe, who was absolutely lovely whenever I called. The phone was always answered within a couple of rings, and she was consistently friendly, cheerful and extremely helpful. That sort of personal service makes such a difference and is something that is sadly not always easy to find these days.
From our first contact with Survey First through to receiving the completed report, we felt that we were in very good hands. The professionalism, communication and genuine helpfulness of everyone we dealt with were exceptional.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Survey First, Anwar and Chloe to anyone needing a property survey. We couldn't have asked for a more thorough survey or a better level of service, and we are genuinely grateful for the work they did for us
Anwar did an Inheritance Tax valuation report. I was impressed with the website which sets out the different services he provides. Prompt and efficient communication. Competitive pricing. The report was comprehensive, well set out and ready in good time. This is the third time we have used him. Highly recommended.

Anwar provided a very professional and thorough service. The survey report was detailed, clear and easy to follow, and he took the time to explain the findings and answer our questions afterwards. Communication was excellent throughout and we felt well informed at every stage. I’d happily recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable surveyor.

Professional, prompt, friendly, goes the extra mile.
I booked Anwar through Survey First for a flat I was buying. Anwar provided a really clear report for the flat,and followed up with an in depth call, highlighting all the things I needed to be aware of. I had to pull out of that flat but used Anwar again for the second flat. He was equally efficient, and really went the extra mile to explain everything in plain English, and clear about the most important things to note. All with really down to earth friendly guidance. Price was also very reasonable compared to others. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I used SurveyFirst for a RICS valuation as part of my Help to Buy equity loan repayment, and I couldn't have been happier with the service.
The whole process was professional, straightforward and efficient from start to finish. The surveyor was thorough, knowledgeable and provided the valuation report promptly, which made the Help to Buy repayment process much easier.
I was also really impressed with the price. Excellent value for money compared with other quotes I received.
I would definitely recommend their services to anyone needing a RICS valuation.

I would highly recommend Anwar. He was professional, helpful, and a pleasure to work with throughout the process. When my valuation was close to expiring, he acted quickly to complete the updated valuation in time for my deadline, which was greatly appreciated. Chloe was always quick to respond, and the overall service was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Having contacted several companies regarding a level 2 survey and requiring some questions answered the advice and service I received from Survey First was a class above the others.
From the moment i booked the survey Chloe in their office took care of everything and i received regular updates regarding dates and times which was a great help.
Anwar, who carried out the survey was excellent and furnished myself with all the information i needed which was followed up by a report that was thorough and easy to follow.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use the team at Survey First again.

I had very quick and efficient service from SurveyFirst. Chloe got back to me every time I e-mailed and Anwar did the survey and completed a detailed report within a few days. Communication was great throughout the whole process. I would recommend SurveyFirst.

I had an excellent experience with this company from start to finish. The booking process was straightforward and efficient, making everything easy to arrange.
The pre-survey phone call was particularly helpful in setting expectations, and the follow-up call afterwards was just as valuable, taking the time to walk through the findings and answer any questions.
The report itself was clear, well-structured, and very easy to understand, which made a potentially complex process feel simple and manageable.
Overall, an exceptionally helpful and professional service — I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

We had an exceptionally good experience with SurveyFirst for a level 3 building survey of an old property we are about to purchase. From an administrative perspective, Chloe was prompt, professional, efficient and very informative. Our surveyor Anwar was outstanding. We had 2 phone calls before and 1 after the survey as well as a comprehensive report 4 days later. The survey was extremely thorough and addressed all aspects with recommendations about potential remedial work. I thoroughly recommend this firm.

This was a fabulous experience for my first property purchase. Anwar and team were very patient and ensured all my queries were answered and highlighted over the phone and in the extremely comprehensive survey and valuation. Couldn't fault Survey First, thank you!

I needed a probate evaluation on a tenanted property. I was very pleased with the fast, efficient, and friendly service offered by Anwar and Foyez. The survey provided good value. The report was thorough, and we were happy with the property valuation. I would definitely recommend the company.

My partner and I instructed Survey First for a Level 3 Home Survey on a property we're in the process of buying. The service has been impeccable since the very first enquiry.
The team are polite, professional and knowledgeable. I'd had a Level 3 home survey done on another property a few months before but didn't get all the information or support I'd been looking for so wanted to start the search again and I'm so glad I did!
They've provided the perfect combination of great service and great value.
Anwar gave me a call before the inspection to run through what to expect, timelines and any questions or concerns. I also got a call after the inspection to discuss anything major that had come up and give an overview of the appointment prior.
The report was really detailed, clear and specific. When I had a few questions afterwards, Anwar replied really quickly and clearly. Their report has highlighted a few issues and gave us some really useful advice.
Overall, I found them to be very professional, friendly people providing great value and great service. I've already recommended them to friends and will continue to do so.

Great experience.
Anwar explained the process and answered all my questions.
The report produced was thorough and helped me to plan for current and future work to the property.
I had an exceptional experience with SurveyFirst. When I reached out to them for guidance on what type of survey was necessary for the flat I was purchasing, they responded with refreshing honesty, not pushing for a more costly option. Their team was highly responsive, promptly coordinating with my estate agent to schedule the survey. Following its completion, they quickly delivered the report. Anwar, the surveyor, went above and beyond by spending an evening thoroughly discussing the report with me, highlighting key areas. His kindness and dedication were a testament to the outstanding service I received. The entire process was impressive and left me highly satisfied!

Fantastic service, very informative and detailed report received. Anwar was happy to discuss further on the phone on anything I didn't understand. Fayaz replied back swiftly to all emails. Brilliant and would definitely recommend them.

Anwar completed a RICS Survey Level 2 Report (survey only) for us a few weeks ago. As first-time buyers, we were a bit overwhelmed by all of the information out there and all the things one has to do/ consider when buying a house. Booking a survey with Survey First was the easy part and reasonably priced too. Foyez promptly booked us in and access to the property was quickly arranged. I had a pre-survey call with Anwar to run through some specific points and discuss what he would cover. Not long after the survey was carried out, Anwar called again to highlight his key findings before issuing us with a clear and thorough report, with photos, a few days later. The whole experience has been so straightforward and invaluable. We are currently acting on his advice ahead of exchange of contracts but feel much more confident in our first property purchase. Big thanks to Anwar and Foyez. We would highly recommend them. Victoria & Matthew
