What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Buyers in the process of purchasing a home feature prominently in accounts of this Sunderland-area surveyor, with Level 2 and Level 3 Building Surveys the work most often described. Customers repeatedly praise the speed of the turnaround, noting that inspections carried out at the end of the week were followed by detailed reports within a day or two, sometimes running to well over a hundred pages and illustrated with extensive photography. A point made in several accounts is the clarity of those documents, which buyers describe as thorough yet easy to follow.

Stephen, also referred to as Steve, is named regularly for his professionalism, patience and willingness to talk findings through step by step by telephone after the report lands, answering questions and offering practical advice. Reviewers also highlight competitive pricing and the ease of arranging an appointment at short notice, while the courtesy and expertise shown throughout the process are mentioned time and again. What emerges is a dependable, knowledgeable surveyor who delivers a high-quality report and remains available afterwards to make sure the client understands every section, with the follow-up call after the written findings a detail that recurs throughout the feedback.

Steve was great from start to finish. Took the time to go through each section of the survey after and offer his expert advice. Would recommend to anyone looking to complete a survey. Very friendly, efficient and useful service.

I was totally amazed by Surveyor Stephen Matthews of CPM Building Surveyors. I needed a property survey for a house we are buying and saw the Company had a 5 star rating on google. I contacted Stephen Matthews who did a house survey for us and I was very impressed with his work to say the least. We could not fault him at all. From start to finish Stephen was very professional, carried out our survey very soon. Great turn around. Survey was done in one day and report received the next day. We would not hesitate to recommend Stephen to anyone. He e-mailed a very clear, detailed 88 page report with high quality photos of any areas of concern. Stephen then rang us and discussed the report in great detail with clear explanations and great communication. He helped us every step of the way. He is very personable, timely, efficient, very competent in his work, and I could not fault him. Stephen you were just brilliant and fully deserve your 5 star ratings. I would recommend you in a heartbeat to anyone. Very well done Stephen.

I highly recommend CPM building surveys, Steve was so helpful and thorough right from the very start. A superb service, professional and courteous. The survey itself was very detailed and he answered every single question for us, he certainly knows his stuff. It's safe to say Steve does his job properly! Thank you Steve

Amazing turnaround, booked on the Monday, got the report on the Wednesday evening: couldn’t have asked for better. Report was thorough yet easy to understand. Stephen was happy to have a call on the evening to talk through the report and make sure I was happy. 5* service.

This is the second time I’m using CPM Bulding Surveys. Great service from start to finish. The turnaround time on the survey was incredibly fast, which really helped keep things moving. The report itself was detailed, clear, and highlighted key issues we wouldn’t have spotted ourselves. Communication was professional and efficient throughout. Would 100% recommend to anyone needing a reliable and thorough survey.

We've used Steve twice now and I've been recommending him to everyone I know. Steve gets the report to you the next working day after the survey, and he follows up the report with an in depth phone call explaining everything in detail. Plus his fee was only £25 more than the cheapest quote - his prices are very reasonable for the time he puts in! All of the points in his reports have photos so you know what he's talking about and where, he goes into so much detail and you can tell he cares! He's friendly, flexible and absolutely sterling to work with. Wouldn't use anyone else now - Steve please never retire haha!
