What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Buyers purchasing homes in the Portsmouth area have found RJH Surveying a dependable choice, with Richard carrying out Level 3 surveys that repeatedly draw praise for their detail and clarity. Those commissioning reports describe documents of considerable length, complete with photographs and plain commentary, that set out defects and matters requiring attention while remaining easy to follow. A recurring theme is the value of the follow-up conversation: clients note that Richard telephones after the inspection to talk through findings, sometimes for an hour or more, and that the verbal summary often arrives the next day, with the written report following shortly afterwards.

Punctuality and flexibility are mentioned regularly, including one instance where a survey was brought forward to fit around a holiday. Several reviewers highlight Richard's knowledge of the local housing stock and the reassurance this gave them, along with his polite and professional manner throughout. The advice is said to have helped purchasers renegotiate prices or step away from problematic properties. Attention to detail, transparent charges and a willingness to answer questions both before and after the work are points that come up often.

After searching for a local surveyor, we chose to go with RJH Surveying, and we’re glad we did. Richard conducted a Level 3 survey for the house we are purchasing. The survey report covered every aspect of the property and listed the defects we need to address. It also allowed us to negotiate the purchase price. We were kept up-to-date during the process, right after the survey, Richard provided a brief summary of the results. After the report was received, we also got a follow-up call to discuss any further questions we might have, which was very thoughtful and helpful. Overall, we are happy with the service we received and would highly recommend RJH Surveying for anyone looking for a professional survey service.

Richard created a Level 3 survey report for our recent property purchase. The report was about 70 pages long, highly detailed, precise, and clear. It was an all-inclusive document complete with photos and useful comments. He also emphasized making the report easy for anyone to understand. The seller, whom I managed to speak with before completion, mentioned that Richard spent hours inspecting the property. After the inspection, Richard called me to provide a brief overview and was happy to answer all my questions. His professionalism and high standards gave us the confidence we needed to move forward with the purchase, which has now successfully completed. Many thanks, Richard, we highly appreciate your help.

Extremely lucky to have contacted Richard! I am so grateful for his not only professional, knowledgeable and practical, but also personable, patient, easy-to-understand, and very detailed service! Richard takes quick action in responding and arranging service, provides phone-call service to indicate and explain major concerns, and follows up with a comprehensive and detailed report of every part of the property! I highly recommend RJH Surveying!

Richard provided a comprehensive survey which was wonderfully clear and free from jargon. I appreciated the advisory notes but most of all I was so grateful that Richard treated all of my questions with kindness and respect. He is definitely a 'no question is a stupid question' person.

Richard carried out a level 2 survey on our new prospective home & my wife & I were very impressed with the quality of service. The report itself was very detailed & went into a significant amount of detail about every part of the property, giving different ratings to highlight where certain aspects required more detailed investigation on our part before proceeding with the house purchase. In addition, Richard called me to discuss the report & give an overview of his findings, allowing me to ask questions. A survey on a prospective new home can be one of the precarious parts of the process but Richard helped make this part straightforward & easy to follow. We would definitely use Richard to carry out a survey if we move again in future & I would highly recommend his services to anyone else who needs a home survey.

We recently had a house survey completed with Richard, and we couldn't be happier with the service. Is a house survey worth it? Absolutely! In our case, it was a crucial step that helped us avoid what could have been a very costly mistake. The survey highlighted some major concerns with the first property we were considering, which we wouldn't have noticed otherwise. Thanks to Richard's thorough and professional work, we were able to make an informed decision and avoided buying a house with serious underlying issues. We came back to Richard for our second property and couldn't be happier with the service received, the speed, attention for detail, communication and professionalism throughout has been nothing short of exceptional. Following our experience, we highly recommend getting a house survey done – it's a small investment for the peace of mind it provides! Thank you Richard.
