Review:Very efficient in signing me up and taking the money. Arrangements for survey made in good time.
Report was inaccurate, with some poorly made observations, and confusing contradictions.
This served to undermine report.
I am now in the complaints procedure, which has already gone over its own time frame for a reply.
I regret using this company, it has caused further stress at a crucial time.London South East

Review:The homebuyers report was fine but heavily caveated. It didna??t contain an independent valuation but instead just advised that it was worth what the agreed price was (the agreed price is an obscure figure so there was no way that this was a coincidence). The survey took place two days after booking and the report was received 4 working days after.

Review:They were quick to respond to my initial enquiry. Their price was very competitive. We were referred another surveyor by our solicitor and for the same report they were charging almost double the amount! As promised, the report was delivered to us within 3 working days. They arranged directly with the agent for them to go survey the property which was good as it meant I didna??t have to get involved.

Review:Communication is poor. Had to chase to get the survey booked in, and no idea if the survey even took place as they have not confirmed that it went ahead as planned.
After having paid out for the survey, it would be of more comfort to the customer to keep them informed along the way.Response:
Dear KateWe apologise if you feel there was a lack of communication regarding your service.Please can you provide us with the full details of the case so we can investigate further.Kind RegardsSutton

Dear LynseyThank you for your positive feedback.If we can help you with anything else please don't hesitate to get in touch.MAP Chartered SurveyorsMore InformationRICS Home Survey Level 3
RICS Home Survey Level 3 is a vital tool for prospective homeowners, as the reports provide a comprehensive view of the construction quality of the property in question. We recommend a Level 3 Survey (Previously known as a Building Survey) if the property was constructed in an unusual or non-traditional way, if it has been altered or converted, if the property is particularly old, or if you plan to extend or renovate the property.
If unsure, we can give you advice on the best property survey to fit your particular needs or property type but expect a RICS Home Survey Level 3 to be a comprehensive and in-depth look into the property, highlighting structural defects or potential issues. We do not carry out Level 3 Surveys on flats or apartments.
RICS Home Survey Level 2
The RICS Home Survey Level 2 or HomeBuyer Report is perfect for all types of conventionally constructed properties such as flats, bungalows and houses in fair condition. It's recommended for modern builds, as older properties will be better suited to a Level 3 Survey. You can expect serious defects and issues to be highlighted in the report, and although generally cheaper than a Level 3 Survey it is less in-depth. You'll also get a valuation alongside the survey, and the report will highlight defects that may impact the house price.
The report is standardised by RICS, so you can expect a professional and easy-to-read survey addressing all you need to know ahead of a house move. Like all of our surveying and valuation services, we pride ourselves on our expert local knowledge and quick turnaround.
Valuations
Maitlands Acorn Professional undertake a wide range of Residential Valuations and we typically inspect over £2 billion worth of properties each year. Whether you require a Mortgage Valuation, Buy-to-Let Valuation, Matrimonial Valuation or Capital Gains Tax Valuation, we will send out an experienced and RICS registered valuer to provide the highest quality service.
Whilst a valuation is not a comprehensive property survey, it is suitable for any property type and will ensure you know exactly how much the home is worth and what you're paying for. The building's structural condition will not be assessed but the valuation will factor in age, location and the home's basic condition.
