5.0 / 5 · 68 totalI engaged Abode to carry out a building survey for a house purchase after reading the excellent reviews on Google, and the service has been absolutely first class from start to finish. Jo responded to my initial enquiry immediately with clear, comprehensive information and pricing, and the survey was booked in quickly. The survey itself was incredibly thorough, with Alan contacting me the day after to talk me through the findings and then the full written report following within a few days. Alan and Jo's knowledge, advice and recommendations throughout the survey process and beyond has been hugely appreciated and I can't recommend Abode highly enough.
Excellent service from Abode Building Surveyors. They carried out the survey on the house we bought and were professional, thorough, and easy to deal with throughout. The report was clear, detailed, and helped give us confidence during the purchase process. Communication was great, and they were happy to answer our questions clearly. We’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing a house survey.
I have nothing but praise for Abode, from start to finish of the process. Alan was thorough and clear and took the time to discuss the survey with me afterwards. He put me at ease and was highly professional. Jo was also great at communicating the process and responding to queries. I would very much recommend Abode.
I recently instructed Abode for a building survey on a property I was interested in, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service provided by Alan. The report was incredibly thorough, spanning 47+ pages and covering every aspect of the ~150-year-old building.What I appreciated most was the clarity of the 'Surveyor's Overall Assessment,' which gave me a clear overview of the most significant issues before diving into the technical details. Alan identified several critical areas that I would have otherwise missed, including:Structural concerns, Dampness issues, Roof and garage defects. Plus recommendations for further specialist investigations (damp, timber, and structural). If you want a surveyor who is meticulous, professional, and genuinely looks out for the client's interests, I highly recommend Abode.
I was recommended Abode and I am so glad I went with that recommendation. Alan was thorough, informative and gave clear advice throughout. As a first time buyer, I really valued how straightforward everything was. After the survey, Alan took the time to have a phone call with me to break everything down in a much simpler way, which made a huge difference for someone going through the process for the first time. Although the purchase didn’t go ahead after the survey, I felt fully informed and supported in my decision. I would also like to thank Jo, who was extremely communicative throughout. Would definitely recommend and will be back in touch when I find the right place.
Alan and Jo we're excellent. As a first time buyer, I felt in good hands. Both we're very patient, clear and responsive throughout the process. A thorough service and a good price. Highly recommend.
Excellent service. Helped me out when I’d been let down by another surveyor. Was thorough, clear, approachable and very helpful. Talked me through issues and gave advice when asked (even weeks after completing survey) I would not hesitate to recommend Abode to anyone seeking a trustworthy, efficient team (husband and wife worked excellently to provide outstanding service to me.) Thank You.
