Average level 3 survey
Booked a level 3 survey, which although insightful, was often vague or inconclusive, even after a follow up call. Lots of references to contacting a specialist to gain further information. So much not tested and therefore automatically highlighted as needing attention. Not sure what I gained for the money over a level 2 survey really. It was useful to raise some issues that I could go back to the owner to gain more information. But they gave me more answers than the survey in some cases! A lot of money for less of an insight than I had hoped.

Thank you for your review Clare and we are sorry to hear that the report wasn't quite as you had expected. To respond to the points you have raised. The property you are purchasing is dated 1700's so a Level 2 survey would not be able to be carried out on a property of this age. In respect of the areas not tested, surveyors are qualified in their field, but not qualified to test electrics or plumbing (as an example) and will recommend you seek quotation(s) from qualified professionals prior to exchange, this is commonly seen in their reporting. Once again, we are sorry that the survey didn't meet your expectations - if a further call with the surveyor would be useful, please let us know and we will gladly arrange. Kind regards The Moving Portal Team

Excellent service and very detailed report
I would highly recommend using this company. The report was extremely detailed and as I was looking to buy a real project property it was very very helpful. I ended up pulling out of the buying process as there was a lot of issues the survey picked up that I couldn’t see.
I would definitely use them again

Excellent Service
Company admin called me on the same day as the survey was requested to discuss my needs and any specific concerns or requirements I had. Surveyor (Roshan) called me on the day of the survey to check these and whether I had anything further. Also talked through what to expect from him - confirmed he would call to advise if anything adverse discovered as may take a few days for the full report to be prepared. Once the report was received he called again and was happy to clarify anything I was not sure of. Excellent and prompt service - highly recommend and would use again.

Harry at The Moving Portal was very helping in organising our home survey. Our surveyor from valunation was amazing, identified spray foam insulation and gave us plenty of explanations and support.

Thank you for your review Mr Cassidy. We are sorry to hear that the surveyor was slow in responding to your specific question, we would certainly not expect you to have to request this 3 times. We have looked in to your individual case and will address this with the surveyor as we have agreed SLA's in place with the surveyors. We are also sorry to hear that the response you received was not satisfactory. Please do contact us if you wish us to look in to this further. Kind regards The Moving Portal Team

Many thanks for your review Julie, we are pleased that the survey was arranged quickly. We have had a look at your individual case and can see the report was issued 5 working days after the survey. Our standard timeframe is 5-7 working days so it was within this, we apologise if this was longer than you had anticipated. We wish you a smooth onward purchase. Kind regards The Moving Portal Team
