These are some of the comments our clients have emailed us or left on our website over the years…….
“David called me back al most straight away. He gave me the price for a level 3 building survey. Once I agreed to the price he fitted in my survey within 2 weeks. I Emailed David 4 times prior to his visit, to ask him to look out for specific things. Immediately after his visit he sent a detailed preliminary report, addressing all my concerns. His final report is due in two days time. He did a thorough search and noted all the problems with helpful suggestions for any further enquiry. David’s price is fair and cheaper than several other surveyors. Prompt reply to my queries, polite and helpful.”
“Quick and personal response. Full informative visit and report. Professional fees are what they are. Would recommend David for residential survey of 1930s house in need of renovation.”

“Very prompt and efficient in meeting my requirement. Excellent and friendly service. Competitively priced bid. Highly professional, knowledgeable, competent, helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

He arranged the survey with the estate agent within 24 hours of the enquiry and I had a written summary of the report on the completed survey on the day that the survey was completed (within 10 days of the initial enquiry) and the fully completed report with supporting photographic references within 5 days. I was extremely impressed with this service. The quote was competitive and the surveyor was great to deal with.”

Apologies we could not make it to the property to meet you but you have certainly answered our main queries and more.”

I would definitely recommend you to others wishing to have a survey done of this kind.”

And a full in-depth report and valuation were received a week later. I have used Edifice once before and would have no hesitation in using them again! Very professional, fast, efficient service!”
“A simple transaction, an excellent report, speedily delivered.”
“I got in contact with David after the cheapest company was unable to do an appointment in the week I wanted. David was able to make the appointment on the first day of the week I wanted. He also gave honest advice about which survey I should choose for the age and type of property. David met with me after he did the homebuyers report and showed me around the property noting the key points and concerns he had made about the house. I received a full written report by the end of that week. Very pleased with the service, his communications and the price.”
“We were really pleased with the detailed and helpful report by David and his communications throughout. We appreciated the email directly after the survey summarising his main findings and then the detailed report that followed”
