What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Property purchases in and around Buckhurst Hill feature heavily in the feedback for this firm, with buyers describing full building surveys and structural surveys that gave them a clearer picture of a property before committing. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the value of talking matters through with the surveyor both before and after the inspection, with detailed reports arriving within the promised timeframe and technical points explained in plain terms.

Several customers describe Ronnie as thorough and knowledgeable, noting that his findings on defects and on whether an extension might be possible helped them renegotiate purchase terms or step away from a problematic property altogether, and they mention that he was available on the phone or by email to answer follow-up questions.

Amanda and Cheryl are named for friendly, prompt handling of enquiries, and reviewers repeatedly praise the clarity of quotes against the level of detail provided. Reports are described as neat, concise and informative, covering condition, defects and repair priorities. The tone throughout is of a professional, responsive service that keeps clients informed, with buyers returning for a second survey on a later purchase and describing the experience as straightforward from first enquiry to final report.

Ronnie and Cheryl were very responsive and helpful for me as FTB. Ronnie spoke to me a few times on the phone to advise around some issues with a purchase which I decided to back out of due to concerns raised by Ronnie which the seller couldn't account for. Ronnie then did my survey on the next purchase which hopefully will go much smoother. Cannot recommend Ronnie's services enough. Thank you both!

We had a tight schedule to adhere to with the survey and Ronnie and Amanda were quick to get back to us and were able to deliver in the short timeframe we had. Communication was great throughout the entire process, and their prices are very competitive. I would recommend!

LBS were recommended to us and we were very pleased with them. Great communication throughout and a detailed report at its conclusion. They were happy to help throughout the process and answer any questions.

Highly recommend London Building Surveyors. Ronnie carried out a comprehensive survey on a large residential property for me, followed by a detailed and informative report which was completed within the agreed 5 working days. Considering the detail the report went into, this was a relatively quick turnaround. Both Ronnie and Amanda were very professional and available throughout to answer any questions. Following the report, I had a detailed discussion with Ronnie to go over a few points. I will definitely be using their services again in the future.

We employed London Building Surveyors to undertake a condition survey for a house we were buying in London. We were very impressed with the service provided. Amanda was both friendly and prompt in her response to our queries. Ronnie produced a concise and informative report within the promised 5 working days and answered several questions prompted by the report. The cost of the survey was very reasonable. I recommend this firm.

I Smell some fake reviews from friends. Not that good at all!. Update. I’ve seen your reply here and it seems you claim any negative review is from someone who you never worked with. Not sure what details you’re checking from a Google account. However, I have experience with your company and Ronnie who is not thorough nor clear in his reports, this comes from personal experience. Wild speculation and suggestion covered with clever wording to cover himself without due diligence. I stand by my opinion.
