South West Surveyors

The survey provided by South West Sirveyor/Domestic Surveyor for the flat I am in the purchasing process is very good. The report is comprehensive and easy to understand. In addition, the surveyor, Lee Preston, is very helpful. He initiated a zoom meeting with me after sending us the report. So that I can ask for his advice if there is anything that I don’t understand. He also reminded me on some important issues that I need to follow up with our solicitor or other professionals we may appoint in future.
Although there are surveyors who may charge lower fee, the money spent is worth for the services received.
Despite schedule of the survey had been postponed twice due to technical issue caused by another party, the survey can still be completed in a timely manner without any additional cost. This company and the surveyor are highly recommended.

Lee carried out a full building survey on my property. He was an absolute star from beginning to end. He uses a traffic light system on his detailed report, which made it very easy to see what I should pay attention to in the short, medium and long term. This enabled me to source the appropriate trades people to provide quotes. Lee kindly looked at these to confirm if they are in line with what he would expect to for the work required.

Being a first time buyer I had many questions which Lee was always happy to answer. If I didn’t quite understand something he would source a picture or Youtube video that made it completely clear.

Lee is fantastic at his job and really lovely guy too, so I would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for a quality surveyor, especially if a first time buyer.

We were really pleased with service Martin and Lee have provided. Martin is friendly and helpful on the phone. Lee is thorough and professional, and we valued the zoom call he offered too. Would recommend! Thank you!

Very thorough report with photos and clear follow-ups.

I received a very thorough and detailed survey from Lee, which was very informative and actually ended up saving me money. The service provided was excellent and I would definitely recommend.

Thank you!

We asked a Level 3 building survey for the house we are purchasing, and could have it booked fairly quickly. The report was very thorough and full of details coming together with a full folder of pictures. The recommendations for remediation were also very thorough, and we could also have a zoom session with the surveyor to ask further questions. Thanks to this report we could renegotiate a small reduction on the price of the house, and we have now a clear road map of things to be done on the house.

I have had an extremely good quality device with South West Surveyors. Lee was enthusiastic, highly detailed and conscientious in his report. He presented me with a sound over view of the property as well as smaller, practical details and advice in a clear, personable way. Having this advice and guidance has equipped me with more knowledge than I expected, and the team went above and beyond to accommodate my needs in their busy schedule. Highly recommended.

I would highly recommend Lee's servises. His enthusiasm and proessionalism havre made my experience with working with him and pleasure.

Would recommend this company without hesitation. Martin was very helpful from the outset in determining the kind of survey needed for the property. The survey was done by Lee Preston and he provided a really thorough, detailed report including photos taken on the day of the various relevant areas of concern, all rated in terms of urgency of attention required, as well as information from relevant internet searches. He also made himself available for a follow-up conversation about any aspects of the survey which helped to clarify these details. All in all, an excellent service.

I got a home buyer's survey with Lee Preston. Its the first time I have ever bought a house and I was really impressed with the ease with which I was able to get an appointment (thank you Martin) and then the speed with which I received the report - just two days after the survey was carried out. The report is really clear and comprehensive and will definitely serve as a very helpful 'to do' list for the house. Lee was kind enough to offer a Zoom call as a follow up which meant I was able to ask questions in more detail. All in all, a very thorough, professional service, thank you very much.

Fast, friendly service. Went above and beyond to respond to some extra questions and worries I had after household survey was undertaken.
Didn’t rush me to pay invoice, easy to contact and understand all info given.
Will recommend again.

Very detailed survey and excellent advice all in a really speedy timeframe. Thanks ever so much Lee!

Lee completed a survey on the house I purchased in April and provided an excellent service from start to finish. He was very accommodating with regards to availability and ensured that he was clear in the procedures he was going to do with regard to COVID. This made myself, and the previous owners, confident he was being safe and stringent with his risk assessments. After the inspection I received a thorough document of the property detailing all aspects of the house on the inside and out. Each area was graded in terms of risk and particular problems were explained in detail but also simply enough for non-professionals. He also recommended what work needed to be carried out with a rough estimate of costs. Not only was this explained in the document, as he also made a follow up call to talk in person about the work. This was a nice touch as a one-to-one call makes things easier to understand.
Overall, I was very impressed. There is only so much you can see when you view a potential property so it was great to get expert advice. For the money I spent on the survey I saved in the purchase of the house ten-fold so I highly recommend Lee and his team.

The whole experience with Lee was great. We went for the full report rather than the HomeBuyers’ Report as this is our first time buying an old property. Very pleased with the service received and the cost was very competitive. The report was produced in a timely manner; it was clear and easy to understand, and covered everything with a sound advice on the potential cost of remedial work needed. Fantastic service, highly recommend.

Martin, the team member who arranged the survey was very professional. The response time and arranging the survey went very smoothly. Happy with the speed and customer service. Excellent value.

We will definitely instruct them to undertake the survey on our next potential purchase.

We were recommended to Lee from a friend of ours, we received the report within a couple of days after the initial survey date. As we were first time buyers we wanted to know what issues may be present at the property, and who we would need to instruct to carry out any repairs.

The homebuyers report was laid out nicely and the traffic light system really works well. We could see what repairs were urgent and or required further investigations as well as any less serious repairs.

The report was supplied with a number of annotated pictures of the main issues identified. This was very helpful and allowed us understand where some of the issues were located.

Lee ran through the report over the phone with us and answered all the questions we put forward. We were happy with the price and serviced provided and would definitely use Lee again.

Lee was very professional and informative, lee was able to pick up on lots of issues with the property we were unaware of. Lee provided a very in depth report, highly recommended.

A very professional service, I was kept informed at every stage of the survey. The surveyor was understanding and answered all my questions. I highly rate this company and the services he provides.

Lee carried out a Homebuyers Survey for us on a house we were looking to buy. The survey was booked-in quickly and we were provided with a clear a concise report.

We received the report my email and had a phone call a few days later.

All our questions were answered and we would definitely recommend lee to anyone looking for a survey.
