“I would definitely use this site to find a good surveyor. We needed to arrange a building survey quickly and entered our brief details. Immediately quotes came through. We could then read reviews, make phone calls and negotiate price. A very worthwhile service. Thank you!”
“This service was quick and easy to use, I was given a list of available surveyors, the surveyors contacted me, and I was able to arrange an appointment easily.”
“I had one reply from guy who did EPCs when I wanted floorplans, another from surveyor offering floorplans at £25 which later turned out to be for studios only and a third quoting £225 +VAT when normal price £40! I wouldn't recommend this site.”
“This site was quick and easy to use and brought up a good range of surveyors and prices, would definitely recommend. The only thing I would add is that they could do with putting the contact details of each surveyor/company on.”
Hi Pippa, I am sorry that you felt bombarded after submitting an Enquiry. We pass on your contact details to the Suppliers you receive contact details for, as we feel this is the best way to make sure you get all the information you require in the shortest time. However, we appreciate that this does mean that you may have got phone calls from the Suppliers before you were ready to speak to them, and so please accept our apolgies for this.
“Speedy response with a list of architects, 4 out of 7 contacted me and I ended up commissioning one with whom things seem to be progressing well. Thank you!”
“This is a good site to find a local surveyor quickly and i found one just a few miles down the road from where I live and much cheaper than anyone else so I would recommend that you search here if you need a surveyor”
“I have had only one reply to date. I have arranged to meet with him in some way from the Brighton and Hove planning next Monday.
I feel this is a bit early to do a review”
Hi Neil, Thanks for your review. We send this request for a review to try and get some feedback on the operation of our website and any suggestions on things we can do to impove it. We agree that this is way too early to have any feedback on any Suppliers used - and we generally leave it about 3 weeks before asking for any feedback on our Suppliers. You should receive an email from us then asking for Feedback on any Suppliers you may have used, which we then put on to our website for other Customers to see.
I hope this helps to clarify things for you
“Great response from a number of architects & designers - all within 24 hours. Very impressive and we will appoint someone within the next few weeks. Thanks.”
“The information comes through really quickly both on the website and via an email but a bit more clarification on the types of survey would be useful as I still can't ascertain which type I need, Also, given the name of the website, LOCAL surveyors direct, it would be useful to get contacts just from local firms. However I've been contacted only by firms who are really nowhere near me, who don't or rather didn't come up on the initial list provided when I did my search, and the ones who were on the list as being the closest, and actually LOCAL, either didn't contact me or I have had some problem getting in touch with them. Early days yet though, so it might be better than I thought.”
Hi Beverley - thanks for your comment about the explanation of types of survey - we're sorry you couldn't find enough clarification, we'll take on board what you say and try to improve it but you are always welcome to phone our helpline number on the website and ask our team any questions you may have
“I have had numerous emails from this company recently and despite replying advising them I have no knowledge about them they keep sending more mail.
I have NEVER used this company in the past and if this is the way they hassle complete strangers I will never use them in the future.
I would advise anyone to look elsewhere and stay well away .”
Hi James, thanks for your Review. I am sorry that you have had such a bad experience, and I would like to reassure you that we do not store Customer’s email addresses, or use them for any purpose other than to ask for Feedback. It looks like someone may have fraudulently used your email address to run requests for estimates on our website, so you may want to check and see if your email address has been misappropriated. Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused
