What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Purchasers of period and converted homes feature prominently in feedback for this Birmingham practice, and the written reports are the focus of most accounts. Several customers describe level 2 and level 3 surveys that covered far more than anticipated, including one household that received a lengthy document assessing a converted barn and noting materials appropriate to its age. Reviews regularly refer to how plainly the findings are set out, both in the report and in conversation, with surveyors willing to discuss what the issues could mean so that buyers can decide how to proceed.

The diligence of the individual surveyor is singled out, and one buyer credits that care with avoiding a costly mistake. Quoted fees are described as reasonable and frequently lower than those gathered elsewhere, while arranging the inspection and receiving the report are considered straightforward and quick. Named staff, among them Millie and Lexi, are thanked for their patience and responsiveness, and the overall tone is of a professional yet approachable team. Insurance reinstatement figures supplied as standard appear in the comments, as does assistance with registration paperwork, which several buyers mention as a helpful extra.

A huge thanks to Kit Lam for all the help! She is super attentive and replied really quickly, which gave me so much confidence in this company. To be honest, I was comparing a few options at first and almost went with a cheaper one. Kit got back to me right away with all the useful reference info, I decided to go with Cosey Homes in the end. Plus, the whole inspection process was super fast—it only took two weeks from placing the order to completing the job. Highly recommend them to everyone!

I’ve used Cosey Homes before and came back expecting the same standard. Big mistake. This time, the experience was genuinely awful from start to finish. The Level 3 survey I received was full of low-quality, badly lit photos that barely showed anything. When I complained, they sent a second document that was literally the same poor photos blown up larger. Some photos were missing from the original report entirely. For a Level 3 survey, that’s unacceptable. The written report was just as disappointing. Large chunks felt copied, generic, and not even specific to my property. I paid for a detailed inspection, not a recycled template. The complaints handling made the whole situation worse. The “reports supervisor” who dealt with my case pushed me around repeatedly and didn’t address a single issue I raised. Every reply avoided the points completely and relied on stock lines instead of explanations. Not once did I get a proper answer about the poor photos, missing evidence, or reused text. Just deflection and dismissal. For a service that influences major financial decisions, this level of carelessness is dangerous. I had to escalate the matter externally because the company refused to take responsibility. If you want clarity, proper evidence, or a company that treats your concerns seriously, avoid Cosey Homes. They let me down heavily and I won’t be returning.

Opted for a level 2 survey. Very detailed, reasonably priced. Appointment was easy to book once we'd chosen to go with Cosey Homes. Overall, happy with the service provided. Slight delay as we received it after 7 working days, but they were polite and professional in explaining what caused the delay so no harm done. Shout out to Millie for following up with us in the way that she did - we'd done a quote comparison and got contacted by a lot of firms. However, our purchase hit a snag due to personal circumstances so we had to delay choosing a surveyor. It was Millie's professional etiquette and Cosey Homes strong positive reviews that won me over - the price didn't hurt either ☺️ also, thanks for getting my name right in every interaction, might seem like a small thing but the number of people who got it wrong (including Surveyors we'd used before) 🙃 Seeing that made us feel we could trust Cosey Home to have a high attention to detail and we were pleased with the report. Cheers.

Really honest, fast reliable service. We were buying our first homes and wanted a slightly more in-depth survey so we opted for a level 2 survey. One of their sales team got in touch straight away after looking at compare the market and offered us a great price on the survey with availability to do so the week after. The survey was carried out as intended and the report was received under 10 days. The report was thorough and covered everything we needed to know as first time buyers, would definitely recommend.

I chose Cosey Homes as, unlike other firms, they include a reinstatement value for insurance purposes with their standard survey. The process to book the survey in was straightforward although the soonest they could do it was in three weeks. After the survey, it took less than a week to get the report back. The report itself was very thorough and included a lot of pictures, which I found very helpful. I would be happy to use Cosey Homes again and would use them again in the future.

Great experience with Cosey Homes. We had a level 3 survey done on the house we are purchasing and I can't fault the service. Availability was good and the report was returned to me promptly with plenty of detail included. The surveyor who conducted the work was happy to talk through the findings and help make me make sense of everything. Would highly recommend Cosey Homes for any surveying work.

I approached Lexi in April and she offered me a very reasonable price, along with a free valuation of the property right up until the surveying date in July. Throughout the process, she was responsive, professional and incredibly patient. Kit assisted with payment collection and clearly explained everything I needed to fill in for registration through WhatsApp, which was both efficient and convenient. She is a perfect example of the energetic, can-do Hong Kong spirit where things get done quickly and smoothly. Rose delivered a detailed, photo-rich report that made everything easy to understand. Although I initially overlooked her calls, she followed up promptly with a concise email summarising the essential points of the report. That extra support meant a lot, especially since mine was an urgent case, and it helped me make a confident, time-sensitive decision about the property. I couldn’t have asked for a more capable and supportive team. Truly magical. Highly recommended.
