Really happy with our experience of domestic surveys for our home buyers Level 2 survey. Martin was easy to get hold of; and was both friendly & professional on the phone and via email pre-survey.
Lee completed the survey on arguably the hottest day of the year so far and we were very happy with the in depth written report he gave. It was thorough, had images to support comments and importantly answered all the things we asked them to check. He sent the report through quicker than their suggested turnaround time and offered a callback to go through the results. The call back was greatly appreciated as it enabled us to follow up on any comments made and to explore what we might need to raise with our solictor. The invoice system of full payment within 9 days of the survey being completed was helpful in managing our finances too.
We wouldn't hesitate to use domestic surveys again ourselves, and to recommend them to others. Thank you ????

Lee was great! The report was thorough and the video call afterwards was very reassuring. Based on the service and price I would definitely recommend.

Absolutely brilliant service. Martin went out of his way to arrange a time where Lee could access the roof to do a full survey. We then found Lees survey incredibly detailed and useful. He also offers some time to review it over video after which again was brilliant. I have used Domestic Surveys for two property purchases now and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

I recently had a Level 3 property survey carried out by Lee Preston and was extremely impressed with the service provided. The report was detailed, clear, and included practical recommendations. Lee was professional and knowledgeable throughout. I would highly recommend both Lee and the company and would certainly use them again.

This is the second time I've used Domestic Surveys/South West Surveyors and I can't recommend them highly enough. Lee produced an excellent, detailed report for me that was easy to understand. His communication was fantastic throughout, and he was more than happy to answer any questions I had. The fees were also very reasonable. I'll absolutely be using them again in future.

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.

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.
