I’ve now bought. As a first time buyer, their guidance was exceptionally important to me. Even during the busy Christmas period they stayed in touch with me which was great. I have and will continue to recommend them to family and friends and will certainly be contacting them again in the future! Many thanks both and thanks for everything!

Lightning-fast quotes, zero communication once paid

My experience with Verulam Chartered Surveyors has been incredibly frustrating. They were lightning-fast at replying to my initial email for a quote, but as soon as the business was secured, they completely ghosted me.

Broken Promises: I was told by their admin team that the surveyor would call me before the inspection to discuss any specific concerns. I never received a call.

Ignored Emails: Because I didn't get the promised call, I sent an email with my questions. No response.

No After-sales Support: After receiving the report, I had a few follow-up questions for the surveyor. My email has also been ignored.

It is baffling how a professional firm can ignore a client this many times. It wasn't a one-off mistake; it is a consistent lack of basic courtesy. I will never use them again and strongly advise everyone to stay away.

Level 3 building survey

We had Gavin at Verulam surveyors do a home buyers survey for us and he was amazing. Having only bought a new build before we had never been through this process, so had very little knowledge, Gavin was happy to chat through the process, and was even happy to chat through the report with me for over an hour and check the searches I had received back from my solicitor to ensure they aligned to any questions in our survey. We really felt this service was above and beyond and verulam chartered surveyors were very fairly priced for this survey amongst other competitors. 100% recommend!

Excellent experience, would 100% recommend

Verulam Chartered Surveyors were recommended to me by a colleague who had recently bought his first home and he stated he had had an excellent experience with them. I could not agree more - as a first time, and solo buyer, the process can be daunting, and my experience with Verulam was overwhelmingly positive. Communications were prompt, the Level 2 report was very detailed, clear and thorough and my overall experience was positive and stress-free. Could not recommend more highly.

Extremely pleased first time buyers

As inexperienced first time home buyers, the process as I’m sure you can imagine has been daunting at times, presenting those extra unforeseen difficulties.

However, we are so grateful we chose Ryan to carry out our Level 3 Building Survey. We called around and searched online for Surveyor quotes and straight away knew after speaking on the phone to Ryan we would chose him to carry out the Survey. He was extremely helpful, friendly and professional from the get go. And to our surprise, from the initial call of us first enquiring to us then receiving the extremely detailed RICS Building Survey Report (including estimated repair costs), it all happened in under a week!

My partner and I would certainly recommend, and absolutely use again (if we ever chose to put ourselves through that stressful process of moving again, of course).

Superb service and communication

Fantastic service received. Communication throughout was great - from gaining access through estate agents, to arranging the survey date, to keeping us fully up to date with any changes.

Report covered every aspect of the house we are purchasing. It was very detailed, clear and concise and formatted in a very easy to use way.

Came recommended to us, and I would certainly recommend again. Top quality service.

Really appreciate the efficient and professional approach of both Ryan and Gavin. Responsive and thorough and a very clear survey detailing the property. They gave me confidence that I had a complete view of the property.
Competitively priced including a drone survey of the roof was great. Would recommend Verulam Surveyors.

Best Surveyors in St Albans

I can warmly recommend Verulam Chartered Surveyors. Ryan was very quick to respond to my enquiry and professionally answered all my initial questions. I contacted a number of local companies as we tried to move on this fast - Ryan was the first to respond, with the soonest availability and in addition competitively priced.
He conducted a full building survey on a Victorian property in the centre of St Albans and we received a very detailed report including photographic documentation within only five days. Quite a few areas of concern were discovered and the summary of repairs was very helpful. Again, Ryan was very quick to reply to any questions we had regarding the report and assisted with further advice.

Thank you very much Ryan, I will recommend you and Verulam Surveyors.
