Review:Booking was through a comparison site but the reviews were on the positive side, giving us the assurance to go ahead with Ark Surveyors.After making payment, the survey arrived in 7 days. Having emailed the report the surveyor followed up with a call, highlighting the concerns stated in the report. This gave us the belief we had used the right provider.The report was clearly laid out, making it easy to follow. I fully recommend Ark and will use them again if we go through another house purchase!

Review:A reasonably thorough survey (Level 3) - except that the surveyor failed to notice that every room in the house tilts. Floors, doors, skirting boards, fittings etc all tilt. They said they couldn't be expected to notice this because there was some furniture in the rooms. My appeal failed because I wasn't able to arrange a professional report on the tilting in the time-frame (a few days) demanded by the appeal process.
Response:
Dear Ed Thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughts regarding the survey undertaken on the 26th of November 2021. During the investigation, you refused to answer a very simple question as to whether or not the recommendation given in the report for further exposure and structural engineers' investigation was followed. Both of your complaints to the redress scheme CEDR and Ark Surveyors were found to be without merits. Agreeing to proceed with the purchase without following the survey's advice is assumed that you were prepared to take the risk and hence the vindication by an independent body or party CEDR.We are not allowed to move furniture and the affected was full of furniture. You also failed to carry out further investigation as recommended by the surveyor. Thank you once again for bringing this to our attention.You had 10 working days to appeal, and you refused to. CEDR has also further vindicated the surveyor that your report was thorough as echoed by yourself and that no further action is required by Ark Surveyors.London East

Review:Dan was very professional and provided detailed survey reportIt was great to contact Dan from Ark Surveyors Ltd for Level 2 Homebuyer Report Survey for our new property. His quote price was within our budget and better than other surveyors in same level. The survey appointment was booked soon and we didnt have to wait much longer to get the report. Dan also gave us a summary over phone and answered all my queries in details. The report was very detailed with pictures included. It was like a second viewing for us. I would highly recommend Ark Surveyors for Level 2 survey of new home.

Hes super responsive and will come back to you within a couple of hours. He knows his stuff, will take his time to explain more technical concepts, hes punctual and does exactly what he says he would do.

Review:I received quotes for level 2 and 3 surveys very quickly. The prices were fair and I initially spoke to Dan for advice on which one to opt for. I decided on the level 3 survey, which was arranged within a couple of working days and it only took a further couple of days to receive the survey back (1 week in total). Dan completed a detailed report to a comprehensive standard. Following this Dan took the time out to go through the survey with me and discuss the main issues identified over the phone. He answered any questions I had and gave honest and brilliant advice to help me move forward. Overall, I was very pleased with the efficient level of service and have already recommended them to a family member.

Review:Highly recommended: Professional, efficient, value for money and friendly service
I got quotes from five surveyors and Ark were comparable price-wise with the other four but were able to undertake an inspection the following week (all other firms were giving me dates in late May or June)! Dan was also the quickest to get back to me.
The survey was really easy to arrange, Dan called me on the day to give an overview of what he had found which was really helpful.
The report was very thorough but turned around really quickly. I would definitely recommend Ark and would have no hesitation using them again.
Thanks Dan!Response:

Review:I was contacted by Ark Surveyors with a questionnaire requesting additional property details. I sent this information and asked for confirmation of costs. Several days later Ark Surveyors sent me an email claiming they had carried out the survey, without me having instructed them to do so, and demanding immediate payment.
A reputable surveyor would not carry out a survey without being instructed to do so and usual practice is to issue T&C's with a contract and invoice for payment beforehand. I refused to pay and then received a follow up emailing from Ark once again demanding payment together with the ridiculous claim that filling in their questionnaire was an instruction to proceed with the survey. This was a clear attempt to intimidate me and I found the whole episode shocking.Response:
Hi, Sonia can confirm we responded to your enquiry on the 28thof April by sending a quote for a building survey.A?A Our price for this building survey is clearly mentioned or contained within the quote. You replied by completing our questionnaire which is an implied term of instruction. We had no way of knowing your agent's details except that it was provided to us by you. The agent was contacted, and an appointment was booked. Subsequently, an email was sent to you confirming the appointment date (4th of May 2021) and our bank details for payment. We did not receive any payment and the appointment went ahead. Another email was sent to you that the inspection has been carried out and to give you a quick overview. The payment update request was also stated in this email. There was nothing malicious about this. A call was put through to the agent and it was confirmed that as far as they are aware the sale was going ahead and hence my email about payment and instruction. It's not unusual to chase clients for payment and when our clients fill in the questionnaire it is normally because they want to proceed with services.Enfield

Review:We were encouraged to use Ark Surveyors by reading excellent reviews and were certainly not disappointed! Dan initially sent a detailed email about what the homebuyers report could cover, and called in case we had further questions. We booked an appointment very quickly (within a couple of days of the initial enquiry) and within 3 days of the visit we received our full report! We also received a call on the day of the visit to cover initial findings and give an idea of the condition of the property we are looking to buy. We were very impressed with the detailed and incredibly thorough report that was competed so swiftly. I cannot recommend Dan and Ark surveyors enough!

Review:I would like to commend Dan Jombla of Ark Surveyors Limited. He is a very good and detailed Surveyor. His feedback were very informative and useful. He knows how to handle sellers that are intimidating and uncooperative. He stood his ground to provide a thorough check of the property. I've read some in the internet that Surveyors are a waste of time and money because they provide obvious or cookie cut feedback but Dan's professionalism is above and beyond. We are thankful for Dan who is detailed, fair and honest when asked for his services.

“I read the reviews and that's what I really liked about the person that I ended up going with. There were lots of reviews that had referenced him individually and how helpful he'd been...that was really good. He was just great - he came out very quickly. Really, really, really good.”

Best suited for more conventional and modern homes in reasonable condition, the Home Survey Level 2 will give an overview of the condition of the home.
This survey is a good way to avoid unexpected repair costs further down the line and give you an idea of how much you may need to invest into the property after you buy it.
The survey report will reveal if there are any structural problems such a subsidence and if there are issues such as damp, allowing you to fully understand the condition of the property prior to purchase.
RICS Home Survey Level 3
The RICS Home Survey Level 3 is ideal for older properties or homes in poor condition, built of unconventional materials or have had extensive work.
Our Building Surveyors will supply you with a detailed report of the property, highlighting all issues in accessible areas, giving you an idea of what work will be needed once you move into the home.
The report will also include information on the materials used in construction, any serious damage or suggestions to prevent serious damage, detailed information about the structure and fabric of the property and anything that needs urgent attention.
The report will allow you to make an informed decision on your property purchase and could potentially be used to negotiate the price of the property if work is required.
