What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Property purchase surveys and structural engineering assignments are what reviewers most often discuss in relation to this firm, with both RICS Level 3 reports and Homebuyers surveys featuring prominently. The depth of these reports is a theme that recurs, buyers noting how findings were set out clearly and accompanied by photographs that made defects easier to understand during transactions in Oxford and nearby Kidlington.

Named surveyors including Simon L'Esperance and Dean Baldwin attract consistent praise for replying to follow-up questions quickly, sometimes within the hour, and for taking time to explain their conclusions so that purchasers felt confident proceeding. Several customers describe the turnaround as quicker than they had expected and reports arriving on the promised date. Enquiries at the quoting stage are also mentioned favourably, with reviewers saying that early recommendations and evident knowledge helped them decide how to proceed.

Communication throughout is characterised as friendly and straightforward, and the handling of post-purchase difficulties draws particular appreciation for its speed. The structural engineering side of the practice appears in accounts of defects and remedial considerations, and one reviewer noted that the firm assisted when challenges emerged after completion. Domestic house purchases remain the context in which most feedback is set.

Excellent service from Simon L'Esperance. The Level3 survey was detailed, clear, and delivered promptly. Communication was outstanding throughout, and Simon took the time to explain his findings and answer our questions. His professional advice helped us make informed decisions during our property purchase and gave us confidence throughout the process. Highly recommended surveyor firm.

Simon produced a very detailed Grade 3 Building survey report with a fast turnaround. I emailed later to ask a clarifying question and he responded within an hour, which was really helpful for a process where lots of little things can be bottlenecks!

We used Alcott Associates to carry out a level 3 survey and valuation on the property we are buying. They were very responsive and easy to communicate with. The report we received was very comprehensive and their surveyor Dean, was approachable and very helpful with answering the questions we had after the survey. He made things easy to understand. All in all, we are extremely satisfied with the level of service and would use them again.

In October 2025 Dean Baldwin from Allcott Associates performed a RICS Level 3 survey (=full structural survey) of a house we hope to buy in Kidlington, Oxfordshire. The report was comprehensive and helpful, accompanied by extensive pictures. It was delivered in a timely fashion as promised, and Dean quickly answered our few follow-up questions. We are well satisfied with the results.

We used this company for a house purchase, they were fantastic from point of contact. But most importantly supported us when we had some challenges with our house after purchase. Incredibly quick and supportive responses. Would 100% recommend and use again.

Carried out a thorough homebuyer survey for me and provided a detailed report. The report is not only useful for its initial purpose in evaluating whether to buy the property, but will be a useful reference going forward when considering changes I could make to the property. They were happy to answer follow up questions I had about the report.
