I was contacted by Countrywide, they asked me more questions than others. They had a surveyor local to me. Less than an hour after booking I got e mail saying it was booked for following day. At 09:30 I was called by the surveyor who was outside the house and we discussed any specific concerns I might have. About 13:00 she called back, apologised for the delay and gave me a summary. The next morning I received a full over 50 page report. This is my experience with a local surveyor and others may vary as they are a national company. Tip, ask your vendors if they have spray foam loft insulation, you could save a lot of money.

Very unprofessional company. I am making a complaint about my Home Buyers Survey Level 2 received from this company.Before booking with this company I asked the sales person, several times, if my report would include photos.He said yes. I also asked for a sample of the kind of report I would receive. I was swiftly emailed a report that included photos.With that assurance, I booked this company. I was shocked when I received my report minus photos. I called the company and they listened to my original call. They confirmed that I had asked for photos but I was told that there was nothing they could do.I will now make an official complaint because I did not get the service that I paid for. This is false advertising, misleading and misrepresentation! Avoid this company at all costs.

Misleading comments made regarding asbestos testing. Over priced. The initial quote suggested they would 'test' for asbestos within the house. Even though their quote was 130 greater than others, I went with countrywide because of this. A second phone call confirmed they would go around the house testing for asbestos. Following the survey, they advised that the 'testing' only means visually looking for it. When challenged, they advised they had not mislead and refused to adjust the price. The survey itself didn't raise anything more than what was already known about the property.Not worth the additional money.

Great initial communication and on the day. However, the report seemed very basic in what was written. Basically anything that can be inspected visually. I was offered a free valuation but they simply wrote how much we were paying for the property - didnt seem much like a valuation. I did chase up on this along with some other query but never heard back. So if someone asked for my advice- i'd say save yourself the 400 quid.

Found the company very professional. Competitive pricing, survey was arranged within the next few days and they fully worked around difficult access (Tennant in situ in the property). Thorough survey and when I had a few questions they made sure the surveyor called me too make sure I was clear on findings. This survey has lead too other necessary investigative work being carried out before the exchange of contracts and I am truly greatful for the service provided, otherwise would have potentially bought an unsuitable house. On the day, the survey messaged me too ask about any specific concerns they wanted me too look into etc. No pushy sales either, didn't phone too make an appointment for over a week and didn't receive constant phone calls and emails which was really appreciated. Would use again and highly recommend.

Great initially, we did have to chase them up, but at the moment with staff shortages being experienced by all businesses and normal service interruptions due to the pandemic, it's a bit of an expectation. After that, everything's gone well!
RICS Home Survey Level 2
Previously known as the homebuyers report, the RICS Home Survey Level 2 is best suited to properties built less than 80 years ago that are in reasonable condition. It is the most common house survey requested and provides a detailed and easy-to-read report that will highlight any obvious defects or damage. If the property in question has been constructed using non-traditional materials, you will require a more thorough property survey instead.
Our experienced surveyors will provide a summary of all risks found within the property and identify any issues that need further investigation. If the survey returns negative results, you can use this information to negotiate on your original offer to cover future repair work.
