Allcott Associates LLP's Manchester office is used for Level 3 building surveys, with several named surveyors including Chris, Paul Cunniff, Stuart Scoffin and Mr Alcott credited for detailed reports with photographs and repair cost estimates. Alongside many positive reviews, a recurring negative theme also appears: multiple reviewers describe defects that were only discovered after moving in, including an uncapped chimney, leaking boiler pipework and, in one case, allegedly dangerous installations, which they felt should have been identified at the time of survey. One reviewer also described being billed after assuming, due to a lack of confirmation, that their booking had not gone ahead. As a surveyor in Manchester, Allcott Associates LLP holds a 4.6-star average from 52 Google reviews.

4.6 / 5 · 52 totalStuart Scoffin undertook our building survey for our new home, he had done our current home for our Buyer and done such a fantastic and detailed job I didn’t think twice to ask for his details and once we found our next house I didn’t hesitate to call the office and instruct Stuart. A detailed job was undertaken and was more than happy to answer all my questions post survey. Highly recommend Stuart and the team!
Since buying our house a year ago and having a level 3 survey carried out by Allcott, we have incurred repair fees for an uncapped chimney and leaking boiler pipe work, both of which should, and could, have been identified at the time of the survey.
Great service. Their level 3 survey report was very thorough and the format was very user friendly.
Excellent customer service from all colleagues at Allcott Associates, very quick and efficient. Paul Cunniff carried out our Building Survey and provided a detailed and thorough report with supporting photos and recommendations. It was extremely helpful as it was a renovation and we had some prior worries. Thoroughly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and trustworthy service. A big thank you to all involved.
Allcott Associates undertook a buyer survey for me. Was very happy with the service provided - prompt communication from the start, and the report provided was clear and thorough. Would certainly recommend their services.
I am really appalled by the survey we received on the house we purchased and would advise strongly against the increasing levels of cover, having thought if we went for the most detailed we would have more security and knowledge. Having found over the last year dangerous installations and parts of the building deemed ‘unsafe for use’ by various contractors I am shocked none of this appeared on the survey. Being told there were ‘stains to surfaces’ were entirely irrelevant considering the costs we have had to incur to fix problems I would have expected to have know about. The one I had on a prior property through the bank was far superior.
We arranged for a level 3 survey, paid a reasonable price, and the report we got was detailed, and contained a handy summary, with estimated costs, for minor bits of work to be done on our property, which will come in handy in the future! Overall would recommend this service!
