What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Prompt, well-organised service stands out across the feedback for this Sunderland-based building surveying practice. A number of customers describe Claire as the first point of contact, handling enquiries professionally, explaining the different survey options and their costs, and arranging appointments at short notice. Jonathan is repeatedly named for the thoroughness of his inspections and for taking time to talk through findings on site, so that clients understand what has been checked and what it means for their purchase. Reviews time and again mention how quickly written reports follow the inspection, often within a day or two, and how clearly the sections are set out, with practical guidance where concerns arise.

The level 2 and level 3 surveys, along with a special defect survey, recur in the accounts, and the advice given verbally and in writing is credited with helping buyers make informed decisions and, in one case, avoiding significant expense. Communication during and after the work is a consistent theme, with questions answered promptly and explanations offered wherever clarification is needed. Tidiness, reliability and a friendly manner round off the picture the feedback builds, leaving clients confident in the outcome and in the people handling their case.

The service from the initial contact with Claire was excellent who explained the different options of the inspection process. The surveyor report was thorough, clear and easy to read. The surveyor identified some critical issues and included some clear guidance within the report. Communication via email and phone were answered quickly. The inspection happened on time with a full detailed report available within 48hours. Overall a very good service.

I have nothing but praise for JM Mason Chartered Surveyors. I couldn’t fault them! The process went so smoothly. Claire was super helpful and very responsive to my emails regarding the survey. I am a first time property buyer and she supported me so well throughout the process which I’m very grateful for. I had a very comprehensive report with 48 hours of the survey. Very impressed and I would highly recommend JM Mason Chartered Surveyors.

We engaged J M Mason to carry out a Special Defect Survey, as our potential purchasers survey had shown some potentially very worrying results on our home. Our appointment was set up quickly by Claire & the whole process has been very efficient. Following Jonathon's investigation, he took the time to verbally explain his findings & gave us advice on the way forward & the written report followed quickly thereafter. We are very pleased with the service we have received & would not hesitate to use this company again, should the need arise.

I would highly recommend JM Mason Chartered Surveyors. Both Claire and Jonathan are friendly and approachable and provide sound advice. I am more than happy with the top quality service and positive experience I received from a very professional team.
