What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Allcott Associates LLP is instructed by Reading buyers and owners for detailed building and structural surveys, with the Level 3 RICS survey, full structural survey and a listed property among the work described. Jason Dawes is the surveyor named repeatedly, and the depth of his reporting features often in feedback: thorough, well organised and easy to follow, with defects clearly set out and supported by photographs. A recurring theme is the speed at which the finished report arrives, together with a straightforward booking and payment process.

Equally common is the ease of reaching the surveyor directly once the inspection is complete, with replies described as swift and useful. Fees are called reasonable, and one account explains how the findings informed a successful negotiation on a purchase and allowed planning for later remedial work. Professionalism, reliability and communication before and after the job run through the accounts. The practice also operates as a structural engineer, and the same careful attention to detail and practical guidance brings clients back, including those who commissioned a further survey after an earlier purchase collapsed.

Jason’s report was thorough and easy to read. We were able to contact him directly with our follow up questions which he responded to quickly and efficiently.

Allcott Residential completed a Level 3 RICS survey for me, on a Grade II Listed property and completed an excellent, comprehensive survey. Communication was timely, with all questions answered promptly and clearly. I would definitely use them again and recommend to family & friends.

I highly recommend Allcott Residential. They assisted me with a Level 3 surveyor's report and the turnaround time was fantastic—the entire process was sorted within a week and a half of my initial contact. They were professional, efficient, and communicative from start to finish.

We received an excellent comprehensive survey from Jason that highlighted a useful range of works required on the house. Excellent value for money. Jason identified an important roofing issue that we would have missed, resulting in us getting more than £10k off the asking price to deliver the required works.

Great surveyors. Easy to contact and communicate with. Had a survey booked in really easily. The report that was sent through was thorough and really detailed but still accessible and clear to understand for us as first time buyers. Jason, our surveyor, also generously spared some time for a phone call for me to talk through a few questions and he was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and really helped clarify things. Thank you!

I had a very positive experience with Allcott Associates. The survey report was clear, detailed, and extremely helpful in guiding my decision-making process. The team was professional, efficient, and delivered everything promptly. I really appreciated the quality of the work and the responsiveness throughout. The service was reliable and gave me confidence at an important stage of my purchase. I would definitely recommend Allcott Associates and wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again in the future.

We've used Allcott Associates for 2 property purchases now, and would thoroughly recommend them. The survey reports that have been provided are very thorough and clear, with all of the relevant points photographed and explained. The summary at the end highlighting potential costs to rectify any issues is very useful as well. Both of our surveys and associated reports were completed by Jason Dawes, and he clearly has an eye for detail, which is exactly what's needed, and he's always happy to explain things in more detail if needed.
