Bank, mortgage lender or Estate Agent Surveyors

Banks, mortgage lenders and Estate Agent owned surveyors offer building surveys carried out by their Surveyors. Often a Home Buyers Report is supplied which has caveats to limit the valuers/surveyors liability to enable them to carry out the reports very quickly. Always have a Structural Building Survey by a Chartered Surveyor which will look at the building from chimney to foundation to identify any building issues.

Halifax Surveyors also known as Colleys Surveyors

A purchaser after making an offer on a property found that the Colleys Surveyor valued the property at a much lower figure than the one offered.

An owner of several properties found that Colleys in the past over valued their properties which is unusual.

CountryWide Surveyors

Complaints that a report has inaccuracies another with communication issues with the Surveyor, a positive review where a Home Buyers Report was prepared and the sale went through swiftly and several reviews where the property was valued much lower than anticipated.

Several bad experiences with issues such as the surveyor pushing their mortgage products and missing information on surveys.

Esurv Surveyors

Many reviews on Esurv Surveyors with problems such as property problems being missed, issues with a roof that was unsafe and not highlighted in the survey and taken the case to the property Ombudsman, communication issues and issues with damp problems not being identified.

Property purchasers state on this forum issues with the Surveyor missing property problems; particularly roof issues which the Surveyors had reportedly missed or deemed not a major issue when the purchaser believed the issues were considerable gaining help from structural engineers.

Reviews stating unhappiness with valuation figures, Surveyors lack of knowledge when preparing comparative houses, dissatisfaction with Surveyor not wishing to meet potential purchaser at property at the time of the survey and surveyor omitting some property issues in their report.

The Forum details property issues the Surveyor, they believe, missed in their survey.

Connells

Mixed opinions on Connells.

Numerous reviews with reportedly Connells pushing for their Surveyors to carry out surveys and valuations.
