What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In York, W-Y-P Gledhill Chartered Surveyors & Valuers has built a reputation through the work of Toby Gledhill, whose name appears throughout customer accounts. The recurring theme across feedback is the promptness with which enquiries are answered and surveys arranged, with several customers describing reports completed within days of instruction, even during busy periods in the housing market. The quality of the written output is praised repeatedly: reports are described as thorough, detailed and direct, offering clear advice rather than vague observations, and buyers of period terraces as well as newer homes mention how the findings helped them make timely decisions.

Communication stands out as a consistent strength, both before the survey and afterwards, when questions are answered in detail and further specialist reports are reviewed without hesitation. Reviewers frequently point to that costs compared favourably with other estimates, and the manner of the surveyor himself is described as polite, patient and supportive, particularly for those unfamiliar with the process. HomeBuyer surveys and valuations for purchasers feature most often, and the willingness to revisit a property for repeat instructions is noted, with one client returning for a second purchase and another booking a further valuation.

Toby was excellent, always came back to me in a timely manner and was very helpful when I had to do additional surveys. Highly recommended, Dan

I've had the best of experience with Toby even while I was away from the country. He did keep in touch right up until the survey was done. Afterwards valuable feedback was given and then went above and beyond to fix issues that cropped up and providing me extra assurances. As someone new to the process I have been supported all the way. Totally and absolutely recommend him as he comes with loads of experience and provides the very best of service.

Toby was fantastic - he was professional, responsive and answered all of our questions. His report gave us a wealth of information and was crucial in making timely decisions. I couldn’t have asked for a better service: so professional, kind, and thorough which gave us absolutely confidence. Will recommend W-Y-P Gledhill to all friends and family.

I have used Toby in the past and contacted him again for a survey required for my parents. From the initial call with him the survey and report was done within 3 working days! The survey was very useful and direct to the point (not like others i have seen). Will be using him again in the future and will be recommending him to family/friends.

It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Toby. We have utilised his services for two RICS level 3 homebuyer surveys. The first of which uncovered some major issues with a property that left us fully informed on not just the state of the property but an indication of the costs to rectify the issues identified. It helped us avoid a very costly mistake! Fortunately, the second report we have procured has allowed us to progress with a purchase. The advice provided by Toby was detailed and explained in a way that was simple to follow. If we ever need to procure a report again then Toby would be exactly who we would reach out to. We would highly recommend his services. Many thanks!

Exceptional service from Toby with our Level 2 Home Survey report. Toby made the entire process seamless and it has ended up being the least stressful part of the home buying journey. The report came through incredibly quickly and was detailed with recommendations and follow-up points in a way that was easy to understand. I highly recommend.

It is very rare to come across an exceptionally pleasant professional person who is willing to support you 100% with an issue that is so alien to you & at the same time causing much concern & distress. It was without a doubt, my lucky day when I contacted Toby Gledhill pleading for his help & guidance. He really listened, we agreed a plan of action and within a very short space of time, all that Toby said he was going to do was done in such an impeccable, respectful manner, and step by step I was kept up to speed, which is an absolute rarity in our world today. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble, and a report of his findings & recommendations were outstanding. So detailed, far more than I ever imagined and in layman's terms too .. what more could I ask. If Toby provides the service you are looking for, don't hesitate, I promise you will not regret it! *****
