Andy scrimgeour is the best thing since sliced bread! I was so happy with his service. Efficient, quick and fair! HDG are the best firm in Scotland for home reports and Andy is one of the reasons why. He deserves a pay rise!

Professional and friendly service
Had a really positive experience with Harvey, Donaldson & Gibson during my remortgage valuation. John, the surveyor, was great—friendly, helpful, and very respectful of my home. He explained everything clearly and made the whole process easy and stress-free. Would definitely recommend their service.

Poor Experience, Costly Error Avoided
I had a very disappointing experience with Harvey Donaldson & Gibson. The surveyor who visited my fully refurbished home was quite rude and abrupt throughout the inspection. To make matters worse, the valuation they gave was significantly below what the property was worth.
When I raised my concerns, the manager refused to take my call, which only added to the frustration. I had to go to great lengths to get in touch with a director directly via email. After a lot of back and forth, I was eventually issued a full refund, but only after a considerable amount of time and persistence.
I then had my property valued by a different company, and they came in £12,500 higher than Harvey Donaldson & Gibson’s figure. I went on to sell my home and achieved this higher price. Had I relied on the original valuation, I would have lost that money, as most buyers cannot afford to pay far over the home report value in Scotland.
Would not recommend. Poor service, poor attitude, and a poor outcome
