    Surveyor picked up on things that legal searches contradict and said the details of a boiler were unsubstantiated yet he was shown the receipt at the time. I feel the survey was written to quantify the charge.

    Very responsive company. The estate agent cancelled the surveyor's at short notice because of problems of the estate agent (nothing to do with the surveyor) . McCallums managed to survey two days before the exchange was due and sent me a report the following day in the evening. Useful report.Thank you

They completed my survey report within 2 days and it was descriptive, covered a lot of areas and included images. Paul gave me a call right after visiting the property to share his views and let me know I could contact him anytime to discuss the report. Had a great experience.

    I was quite disappointed in the service. I asked for a phone call to walk me through the report and the surveyor said they were busy with meetings and should email questions.I emailed them asking about underfloor heating that was mentioned in the report and it turned out that was added by mistake which made me question the entire report.I specifically asked beforehand if they could share details on the services such as heating, gas and water and it turned out they only mentioned in the report that I need to hire an expert for each to get details on those, so not sure what value the surveyor added. These services were also highlighted as 3 (high risk) which I dont understand why if I need to ask experts for a full report.

They did the quote within a week and even left a message on my phone giving me a brief outline of any problems found. The actual report was ready in a couple of days.

Their price was significantly lower than a lot of other quotes that I had received, I would highly recommend them if you need a basic home buyers report survey (I cannot comment on any more thorough reports as we only had the home buyers)

    Needed a homebuyers survey carried out asap due to the current mortgage situation and rush to completion! Came across McCallums via a comparison site, who were by far the cheapest which made me skeptical at first but the reviews speak for themself! Amazing quick and efficient was my experience, surveyor booked in within a day due to a cancellation and report within a couple of days. Report was very decent and findings were helpful. Will definitely be recommending McCallums to friends and family

    When I booked the survey the person in the office was helpful and informative. Everything proceeded a timely manner and was easy to arrange. Paul Johnson carried out the survey and was excellent at keeping me informed. On the day of the survey he called me to give an overview of what he had found and when I would receive the full report. He was happy to explain things and generous with his time. The report came through well within the time frame advertised by McCallums. I would be more than happy to use this company again in the future and to recommend them.

    An incredibly easy and straightforward process. After being matched with two possible options on the website, we chose McCallums and we were not disappointed. Contact was initially made via email and then followed up with a phone call. Terms and costs were clearly laid out so there were no surprises. The survey was carried out at the scheduled time and the report was received promptly with courtesy emails in between keeping us updated with progress. We would recommend both this website and McCallums.

    Very detailed and thorough report for the money, I was more than happy with that. The only minor negative feedback I could give is it stated on their booking documents they call you on the day to discuss the survey. However that didn't happen until I chased it up hours later. I think if I hadn't called to chase it up I doubt a call would have taken place.

    Awful customer service, appointment was delayed twice, once after payment was taken without asking the client if its ok. I was assured that Ill receive the report as if it was done on the original booking but this did not happen. No communication with regards to that. The report did not arrive within the time frame stated and my initial enquiry about it was ignored. Very poor service, do not recommend.

    Response:
    Dear DorotaWe are sorry that your experience with McCallums wasn't to your satisfaction. The survey dates were delayed due to circumstances out of our control, but we do apologise for the delay with the report, which took longer than anticipated to be sent out, due to an unprecedented workload.

    McCallum's are fantastic! Really good value for money, extremely thorough and efficient customer services. Sadly my first sale fell through but I went back to them for the 2nd house because I thought they were so good. They are considerably lower price than the other surveyors in my area but that is not reflected in the quality of the report. Keep up the excellent work McCallums!

    We were extremely happy with the service we received from McCallums. The team made every effort to fit around our needs in terms of dates and the survey report was received quickly after the survey took place. It was comprehensive and easy to read. We had some further enquiries that arose through our searches after the survey date and Andy the surveyor was extremely helpful in providing further support and advice in respect of that. Overall we were very happy with the service provided which also was very good value for money, and we would happily recommend McCallums.
