What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Around Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding Staffordshire area, Alan J Bateman Chartered Building Surveyor has built a strong reputation for pre-purchase and level 3 building surveys, and the feedback gathered from clients reflects that consistently. Various customers describe how quickly enquiries are answered and appointments arranged, often at short notice when other surveyors were busy or unable to visit for weeks. More than one review highlights the depth and clarity of the written reports, which are described as thorough and detailed, with technical findings explained patiently for buyers who are not professionals.

A point made in several accounts is the follow-up telephone call, where Alan talks through the key findings and answers questions, an approach that first-time buyers in particular have found reassuring. Customers also value the practical advice offered on potential works and next steps, and the willingness to remain available for later clarification. Prompt communication, honest and friendly dealings, and a comprehensive standard of reporting are the threads running through the accounts, with the level 3 survey on a house purchase standing out as the service most often praised.

Alan carried out a level 3 survey on the house Im purchasing . He was very easy to get hold of and the whole process was nothing but convenient. I would highly recommend using Alan for your pre purchase surveys.

Alan produced an excellent report, explained in detail about the report for a non professional like me with patience and offered to be there if needed in future regarding clarification if any in future, could not recommend a better professional.

Cannot recommend Alan enough! He was amazingly thorough for our Level 2 Home Buyers Survey, and highlighted massive issues with the house we weren’t aware of, saving us a lot in the long term. Throughout the whole process, he was available to chat on the phone through everything and made sure to cover all bases with us. Thank you Alan!

Alan's work is to the highest of standards, his level 2 report was of the highest level, provided a follow up call to go through the report details. Was very supportive with a subsequent query and his advice ensured I didn't make an expensive mistake

Alan responded back very quickly. I had previously phoned around but some surveyors did not do the level 3 and those that did could not visit the property for weeks. Alan fitted us in and issued a thorough detailed report. He also gave us good advice over the phone. Very pleased with the service. The survey has given us peace of mind as I feel Alan has not missed anything.

Excellent, personalised service! Couldn’t recommend more highly. Alan fully explained the process, survey options and what the chosen survey would include. He viewed the property promptly on the day he promised and called that evening with a brief preliminary verbal report. That kindly put our minds at ease whilst the full ( 58page - it was an old house with a lot to comment on! ) report followed shortly after. He’s even been available on the phone to clarify extra points well after the survey and fee paid. Sincere thanks Alan, really appreciate your help, guidance and 5* service!

Alan was super efficient, honest, open and friendly. He supported us through the whole process and answered all of our questions that we threw at him. Alan is extremely knowledgeable and diligent and you can tell he has a great deal of passion for his work. Nothing was too much trouble for Alan and he always gave us sound advise that enabled us to work on next steps. Alan even kindly provided cost of works that might be required from the level 3 survey that he carried out for us. We would certainly use again and again if needed and is definitely a surveyor we would recommend, thanks Alan.
