What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Nottingham homeowners and buyers make up much of the custom for this building and party wall surveying practice, and their accounts focus on the depth of the reports produced. A number of reviews mention the identification of structural problems, including water ingress and defective flashing around a chimney, which allowed purchasers to press for repairs before completion.

David Pidgeon features by name, with customers describing him as helpful from the initial appointment through to later discussion, willing to revisit findings weeks after the document was issued. A detail many reviews return to is the worth of the verbal feedback and follow-up calls, which translate technical detail into language non-specialists can act upon. The process is described as professional and responsive, with inspections arranged promptly and written results frequently arriving ahead of the promised date.

Level 2 and level 3 surveys appear alongside valuation instructions, and the detail captured is credited with avoiding considerable future expenditure. Comments also refer to clear communication from the office, flexible appointment times and a report format that flags matters to raise with the seller while suggesting longer-term improvements. Punctuality and care during visits are noted as part of a service that feels well organised from start to finish.

The service David and the team at Portland Surveys provided was great. He managed to fit us in promptly, communication was good and the report thorough. Would definitely recommend.

David was extremely helpful from start to finish. Worth every penny as the survey potentially saved me up to £14,000 in ongoing costs down the line due to a number of structural issues I wouldn't have known about otherwise. Found a new property and used Portland again. David identified some water ingress from poor flashing around the chimney. As such I was able to get the vendor to replace the flashing and fix the leak prior to completion. Very thorough and reliable.

Highly recommend Portland’s survey, would answer any questions regarding the report. I discussed the report several times with the surveyor and he was more than happy to help out weeks after the final report was given.

Once again, my wife & I have received another great service from Portland Surveys. The process is always extremely straightforward and we were delivered exactly what we were promised, an in depth report which potentially saved us thousands of pounds. In our opinion it's always money well spent. I'd certainly recommend them and will be using them again in the near future. Thanks very much 👍
