South West Surveyors

We were in the process of purchasing a three bed 60's property in Bristol and needed a survey to be completed.

After searching the local area for surveyors, we came across South West Surveyors who had some great reviews.

We made contact and were pleasantly surprised with the professionalism and knowledge of this company. They explained the different types of surveys available and what would be most suitable for this type of property, before allowing us to decide. We went for a Homebuyers Report.

Booking was seamless and they were able to liaise directly with the agent to arrange access to the property.

The report was in-depth and picked up several issues which we wouldn't have noticed. Lee was super helpful and followed up his report with a telephone consultation at no additional cost to go through the report with us and answer any questions we had. This not only allowed us to understand the issues in more detail, but also what sort of cost we would be looking at for each job and the work entailed.

Thanks to the report, we were able to renegotiate the purchase price of the property by several thousand pounds.

I would highly recommend South West Surveys as they are a professional, reliable, efficient and knowledgeable company who provide excellent service at a competitive price.

The interactions with Lee and Martin have been very pleasant and we will be using them again if we need to.

Highly recommended! My level 3 survey was carried out by Lee, the report was available within a couple of days and was very thorough. Lee was professional, friendly and extremely helpful during the follow up phone call. I pulled out of the sale due to a multitude of costly issues hidden beneath new paint and floor boards. I will definitely be using this service again when I find another suitable property.

Domestic surveys were great in explaining the whole process to us, as first time buyers it was great to get an understanding of what was involved. Lee gave a detailed and informative survey which was easy to understand. Lee also took the time to go through a few bits we were unsure about. We’re very glad we used got the survey and were able to use it to negotiate money off the house price.

We were grateful for the support from Lee & Martin when surveying our first property. Unfortunately, the property fell through due to issues with the vendors paperwork, but we would definitely like to use Domestic Surveys again in the future as they provided a detailed and personal survey to us. Thank you!

Very professional, clear and helpful.

Thank you so much Martin for your help and advices. Always promptly and trustworthy.

Thank you Lee for a detailed explanation when needed, you've been gret!

Professional, efficient and lovely service, great support.

Thorough and professional. Very helpful and friendly. Recommended.

Second time I have used this company.l to survey a prospective purchase. Martin is extremely prompt and will walk you through the options over the phone in great detail. They were quick to arrange a visit with the house owner and within a day or so Lee had the report ready in a new, and very layman friendly, format to send over. Followed up with a zoom call a few days after that to discuss it in more detail, I felt very confident about understanding the state of the house and any potential issues. Lee was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable and included rough estimates of costs, an overall general opinion about the property and some general advice on negotiation with the home owner. It was clear that Lee had politely questioned the home owner at the time, researched the area thoroughly and was able to provide a small list of objective pros and cons about the property and the location.
Whilst the level 3 survey is not cheap, it's affordable and should be a no brainer when considering a purchase - I expect to save 10x the cost of the survey when renegotiating.

Martin from Domestic Survey recommended Lee as surveyor to inspect an old victorian propriety.

I would strongly recommend Lee to whoever is looking for a real professional surveyor.

The report he produced highlighted every single detail about the propriety, with pictures that explained what the issues were and what they were related to.

We also had a chance to speak with him on 1 hour zoom call which has been one of the most instructive call I had in ages. He took the time to go through everything that was explained in the report, as well as giving us recommendations regarding what to look for in a propriety.

In the end the house that was surveyed resulted to have structural issues and we won’t go ahead with the purchase, but I am left with an incredibly positive feeling knowing how much I learned and that without Lee we wouldn’t be able to dodge the bullet.

I will contact Lee for my next survey without even thinking about it.

Thanks again Martin and Lee!

Lee is really professional and the report pointed out what we needed to know about the house. Highly recommended.

Moreover, the final survey report provided by the company was comprehensive and well-documented. It included detailed measurements, precise boundary markings, and clear explanations of the findings. The report was presented in a visually appealing format, making it easy to comprehend even for someone with limited knowledge of surveying.

Lastly, the company’s pricing was fair and transparent. They provided a detailed breakdown of the costs involved upfront, ensuring that there were no surprises along the way. The value I received for the quality of their service was truly exceptional.

In conclusion, I cannot recommend this surveying company enough. Their professionalism, expertise, efficiency, and outstanding customer service were exemplary.

Lee was fantastic! His survey was in depth, professional and he even had the time to answer all of our questions via a phone call to clear up any issues we had.

I would highly recommend to any first time buyers like myself who are apprehensive about their purchase.

Very happy with the service provided. Best quoted price for a very detailed report and the offer to discuss any queries was very appreciated.

A fantastic surveyor who is reliable and enthusiastic about his work, easy to contact, and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend to others going through the home buying process.

Very friendly and helpful. Good communication.

I was extremely impressed with Lee and his service.

The booking was made swiftly, and the survey report shared within a few days after the appointment. Lee was extremely thorough throughout the report, and made some excellent recommendations for works that should ideally be carried out before the sale, including indicative costs. I managed to knock £2k off the purchase price, thanks to the in-depth report and recommendations.

Lee was also responsive, helpful and knowledgeable when I came to him with questions post the survey. I was very happy with the whole experience (not to mention the outcome!) and would highly recommend this business.

Lee was excellent, very thorough and also provided a very helpful debrief afterwards with prompt responses to any questions.
I would highly rate this company.

We were very pleased with the service. The report was comprehensive and detailed and the follow-up appointment with Lee was really helpful, he efficiently answered all of our questions. We would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Cannot recommend Domestic Surveys highly enough. Got a reply on the weekend when I needed to book a survey quickly during the process purchase. The report was super detailed and the followup call on Zoom was great, Lee understood every concern I had and answered them in detail. Definitely worth the money for the peace of mind.

The whole process was quick and customer service was very easy to get a hold of. Any questions I had in advance of the survey were answered promptly.
The work that Lee did at the property was great. The 40+ page report was sent to me within two days and everything in it was easy to digest and follow.
Lee provided a 1:1 phone call as well and answered any questions I had.
All in all, a great service with amazing communication! Would recommend!
