    The surveyor rang me up just before he inspected the property to check if there was anything special I wanted looked at and also to explain what areas he was looking at and why. The report landed in my inbox the next working day (the inspection was done on a Friday and the report arrived on Monday). The report itself was easy to understand. Should it ever become neccessary to use them again, which I hope won't happen in the nicest possible way, I will use this company.

    It was a mistake to select them. Their report is a total waste of money. The report doesn't have a single photo; it is full of limitations and anything I asked to be checked was ignored. Never ever will use their services. for any new customer, my sincere advice is not to use them

    Very disappointing customer service!We never received any photos of the survey and given the distance from ourselves to the property this was something we were particularly looking forward to. Customer service even had photos but said that it was not standard for them to be released. The person that hounded me for the sale also ghosted and gave no response. Generally very frustrating.If I did this again I would go with one of the other more independent surveyors.

    I had Countrywide perform a level 2 Survey on a flat I am purchasing. I specifically chose Countryside for this as they offer valuations alongside the survey.I was asked what amount I was purchasing the flat for when I requested the survey, which I thought was a bit strange, so I listed an incorrect figure much higher than the actual purchase price.When the survey report came back, it was very clearly just a big template with a bunch of non-property specific text, with some extremely basic observations on the property in a couple of sections. These sections referred multiple times to a valuation, but there was no valuation given.I complained, asking for at least a valuation, and eventually I was sent an "amended report" that now has a valuation section - the valuation was EXACTLY the same number as the incorrect figure I had put in their website, with no explanation of how they arrived at the figure.I have raised issue with this, but they have refused to explain further, or give me even a partial refund.If you want value for money, and anything more than a copy and paste job with a few comments like "the walls are made of stone", do not choose Countryside.

The only issue was that we were originally given a timescale of a week for our survey but it ended up being 3 weeks. The surveyor was very thorough and his communication was also excellent.

    I found Countrywide to be very helpful, I had received a quote quickly to discuss requirements and to work through questions to inform the quote. The quote came through straight after that and on comparing with others I decided to go with Countrywide as they are a large company with surveyors in my area. The survey was carried out the next day and the report was through the day after that, so very quick and efficient. The findings in the report were easy to understand and I asked the surveyor for a bit of advice on renegotiating the price of our offer based on the report findings. He offered some very well considered advice that it would be reasonable to expect a reduction based on the things that couldn't be seen at the time of the viewing but highlighted in the report at around 50% of the cost of the work. I went on to get quotes for this work and wrote an email to the Estate Agent explaining the situation which they passed to the buyer. This resulted in a reduction in the agreed price which was fair to both us and the seller. Very pleased with this result. Thanks

    Had two surveys by countrywide done. First highlighted issues with the house that would have been costly to repair. The surveyor was very thorough and kind on the phone explaining things to me as I don't know much about building. I felt informed and it helped is make the decision to withdraw from the purchase. On the second survey I received a 10% discount, again the surveyor called me beforehand to discuss anything I wanted to know specifically and was very helpful.

    I contacted several firms for quotes for a level 2 house survey report The difference in cost between firms was staggering I was contacted by countrywide the price was more reasonable than others that had quoted I did receive a lower quote but had already booked a surveyorThe chap who booked my surveyor, who was based in Manchester was professional and informative covering all aspects of what the report coveredThe surveyor produced a thorough report very quickly, highlighting lots of problems with the house surveyedI also spoke with the surveyor afterwards for clarity on some points All in all Im impressed with the level of service from countrywide. I would use them again in a house purchase but shop around for the best price

    Countrywide were fantastic to deal with when I needed a survey doing in Bury. They were the most competitive company price-wise from the five quotes I received online. Their Manchester office got in touch with me very swiftly after Id searched for quotes and they explained all the services thoroughly with no hard sell. Being such a large company there was no problem with them providing a RICS surveyor quickly. Once Id commissioned them, they got the survey completed within 3 working days and then I received the full report 3 days after that which was quicker than their quoted 7-10 days timescale. The contents of the Level 2 report and valuation that I received were comprehensive and informative with helpful photos. Excellent company, highly recommended.

    The initial conversations were fne, I received a great quote - but at a later date I have had to discover that my survey job had been subcontracted. This has added delays - being told instead of a max 5-7 days for the survey to happen , that actually it's 10 days.The T&C and contract were only sent by the subcontracting company, but I had paid in advance on the phone - feels a bit deceiving. The HB survey came back ok, surveyor was from Home Surveys and has covered pretty much everything. He had called me -as agreed with CW- before arriving at the property and I was able to send him a email with all my questions/concerns and areas flagged in the legal reports. Overall ok, but there were a few days where I had no update on when my curvey was going to happen

    The surveyor assigned to our property was extremely knowledgeable and thorough in their work, taking the time to explain each step of the process and answer any questions we had. Their attention to detail ensured that no stone was left unturned, and every issue was identified and reported in a clear and concise manner.The report provided us with invaluable insight into the condition of the property and helped us to make informed decisions. We were particularly impressed with the level of detail provided, as well as the candid explanations of any issues that were identified.Overall, I would highly recommend this survey company to anyone in need of a comprehensive survey of their property. The level of professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail was truly exceptional and we felt confident that we were in good hands .

    The automated call with and immediate text follow up saying we tried to call you annoyed me and it was only the much more professional call the next day and the fact Countrywide were rated so highly on the website that meant I considered the competitive pricing and chose Countrywide. I was delighted the surveyor could visit that week,The surveyor was very helpful, calling me beforehand about the areas Id noted for feedback, and then particularly usefully dining me afterwards to discuss a number of points.

    We were initially contacted by phone and everything was explained to us so we knew exactly how the whole process would work.Then we were kept informed by email as well as phone calls from the surveyor. He arranged access to the property with the estate agent a few days later and the survey report was sent to us within a couple of days of the survey taking place.

    I recently had a home survey completed, it was a fantastic experience. The agent who conducted the survey was professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful, gave me a courtesy call when he arrived, I rang him after he had completed and took the time to speak to me about his findings which allowed me to raise any concerns with the seller (Japanese knotweed) he took the time to explain everything they did, answering all of my questions along the way. The report they provided afterward was detailed, well-organized and easy to understand. Overall, I was extremely impressed with the quality of service I received and would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of a home survey. Thank you for making this experience so positive.

    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.

    Response:
    Hi there. Our Level 2 surveys don't include pictures as standard, so I'm sorry that you have been told otherwise. If you do wish to speak to a member of our team, please contact us back so we can discuss further with you.

    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.

    Response:
    Thank you so much for the feedback and glad we could assist you in making sure the property was the right choice for you. Appreciate you taking time out to give this feedback

    They were okay, as did the survey very fast , only there customer services took long to even answer calls and they seem to be into getting the client to make decisions fast and prompt to take fees as soon as possible.

    Response:
    Dear Salim, Apologies you had issues with calls taking long to be answered. The reason for the fee being done prompt is to get your survey booked in as soon as possible. Sorry you had issues getting through. Did your query get resolved as i can see your survey was due to be completed on the 18th. If your issue is not resolved please contact the office.

    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!

    Thank you for taking your time to give us your feedback, apologies for the delay but glad everything has gone well.
