What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

A striking feature of the feedback is how often buyers return for a second or third property, having first encountered the firm through a single instruction. The process from enquiry to appointment is repeatedly described as straightforward, with the office team and the inspecting surveyor both coming across as approachable and efficient. Reports attract consistent praise for their depth, their clear layout and the speed with which they arrive, typically only a few days after the visit. Jake Dixon is singled out by name for his professionalism, his readiness to talk findings through by telephone and his patience with questions.

A recurring theme is the verbal rundown given on the day of inspection, followed by written documentation and a later conversation to settle any points that arise. Charges are widely considered reasonable given the level of detail supplied, and arranging payment is described as uncomplicated. Level 2 and Level 3 surveys on houses and roofs appear frequently, with assessments covering condition, defects and matters connected to a property's age. First-time buyers in particular note that they felt heard and that technical issues were translated into everyday language.

The attending Surveyor was prompt, polite and answered all my questions. The charge was very competitive and the report was received well within the timeframe quoted.

Outstanding service from Jake. His response to my enquiry was very quick and he discussed the type of survey required for our property roof.He was incredibly professional and the survey was completed within 3 days and on a bank holiday! We certainly felt this was above and beyond as this helped fit in with our availability. Nothing was to much trouble, he listened, was supportive and answered question on the day and we received an in depth report within the week. Jake was more than happy to answer further questions by email and personally on the phone so that we fully understood everything that was required.Thank you Jake and we would highly recommend Woods Surveyors.

Had a clear and professional level 2 homebuyer report, Reasonably priced. Maddie, made the process very easy, thank you. Our surveyor Scott phoned us for a verbal review of the survey on the day, went through all the details and then following week we had our full details pdf report, listing every detail/photo/drone shot of the roof clearly, understandably and followed by actions to be considered either short term or long term. Thank you Scott. All in all, brilliant service, would highly recommend. Thanks again, all the Best.

I can’t recommend Woods highly enough. As a first-time buyer, they made the survey process feel simple and stress-free. I felt genuinely listened to throughout, and everything was explained in clear detail — from the condition of the property to how any issues may have arisen, including those related to its age.

Excellent professional service, very reasonably proces, for high quality level 3 survey and report. Very supportive, with Jake, the surveyor, giving a full, initial verbal report on the day of the survey followed up by the detailed report, a week later, and then a further call to review some queries arising around some of the points raised. We have been given a comprehensive clear assessment of our prospective home, and feel confident we are well prepared and informed. Great service!

Yes - great customer service from start to finish! The office staff and the surveyor were friendly and efficient. The report was fair, thorough and completed quickly for a fee that was considerably less than that of other surveyors working in the same area. We were well informed throughout and payment was easy.

Great customer service right from the start. Kept well informed. Survey was easy to book and quick to arrange. Surveyor contacted us directly on day of survey to go through findings before report was sent out so we knew what was coming. Surveyor was polite, helpful and used language we could understand. The report is well structured, easy to understand and usefully, has a section at the end with recommendations of questions/follow ups for the Solicitors, taking away some of the difficulty in a stressful house buying process. Would definitely use again and will recommend to others.
