What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Older and period properties are the focus for many of the buyers who commission work from this York practice, and the accounts they leave share a recognisable pattern. Survey reports are described as detailed, precise and genuinely comprehensive, supported by photographs and written in language that is easy to follow. The guidance within those documents is regularly called practical rather than purely technical, with one purchaser noting that it helped bring a sale price down.

Communication is a theme that comes up often: enquiries are answered quickly, inspections are arranged without difficulty, and concerns raised before or after the visit are passed to the surveyor and handled promptly. Named individuals including Tim, Simon and Paul Cunniff are singled out for taking the time to explain findings and for replying to later questions well after the inspection.

Quotes are described as fair and competitive, and the pace of the process from first contact to finished report is repeatedly praised. The wider team is characterised as professional, well organised and straightforward to deal with, with bookings confirmed quickly and documents returned when promised. Reassurance from a thorough survey and continued access to the person who carried it out is what reviewers value most.

The time to visit was good. The time to receive the report was good also. The report did not mention if the roof was ok and I had to make contact which delayed slightly our decision to purchase.

Tim was very responsive and explained everything in details. Whenever I needed guidance or explanation after the survey he responded promptly. The survey was detailed and helped me reduce the price. Would definitely recommend.

As a first time buyer of an older property I did a lot of research before choosing Allcott Associates to conduct my Level 3 survey. Their reviews were absolutely spot on. They were always very quick to respond and conveyed my questions/concerns to the surveyor. Mr Paul Cunniff who conducted my survey within a very timely manner provided me with a detailed report of his findings, which was very easy to understand. Paul covered all the questions I had provided to Allcott Associates along with very useful recommendations for how to maintain the property with timelines for each. I would not hesitate to recommend Allcott's and Paul to anyone embarking on the minefield that can be house purchasing/surveying. Thank you so much to all the team.
