What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Valuations and building surveys form the core of the work described by customers of this Peterborough-based firm, whose remit spans property surveying, valuation and structural engineering. Several reviewers highlight the speed with which reports are produced, with surveys arranged directly with the current owner and completed inside a week in more than one account.

The thoroughness of the resulting documents is a recurring theme: buyers of new-build homes and those dealing with probate matters alike describe reports that are detailed, comprehensive and free of templated content, with Level 2 Homebuyers surveys singled out for their rigour. Communication is praised just as consistently, from prompt email replies before instruction to patient telephone explanations once the report lands. Named staff feature regularly, with senior surveyor Peter credited for arranging a compressed-timescale survey and a turnaround that impressed the client, while Mike is remembered for his knowledge and willingness to talk through questions at length, and Karolina in the office for her responsiveness.

Punctuality, competitive pricing and a courteous manner on site are mentioned by more than one customer, and the back-office team is described as efficient in getting bookings organised. The same qualities recur whether the instruction concerns a capital gains tax valuation, a probate valuation or a straightforward pre-purchase survey.

Very impressed with the work done by this company. Survey was achieved within a week and the report came the same day. Extremely comprehensive L2 Homebuyers report, no AI or templating in sight just good solid rigour and detail that you rarely see these days. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for peace of mind.

Buying a property is rarely a straightforward or stress-free experience, particularly when purchasing a new-build home with a tight exchange timetable. From the outset, Cambridge Building Surveyors were proactive, responsive and exceptionally helpful. Due to our compressed timescales, Senior Surveyor Peter kindly arranged and completed our survey report with an impressively quick turnaround. Receiving the report so promptly gave us valuable information and reassurance at a critical stage of the purchase and significantly reduced the stress associated with an imminent exchange deadline. What particularly stood out was Peter's willingness to discuss the findings in detail afterwards. We found his advice not only informative from a surveying perspective but also enriched by his extensive practical knowledge of construction and building matters more generally. As purchasers navigating the complexities of a new-build property, we found these conversations extremely valuable and reassuring. Communication from the administrative team was equally excellent. Enquiries were handled promptly, professionally and courteously throughout, making the entire process far smoother than it might otherwise have been. House buying inevitably brings unexpected questions and challenges, but we felt well supported throughout. We would not hesitate to recommend Cambridge Building Surveyors to anyone purchasing a property and would happily use their services again in the future.

CBS were very easy to deal with. They delivered the report rapidly and it was very comprehensive. They have a section of the report with key areas for the solicitor to review and for the buyer which I found very helpful.

Cambridge Building Surveyors were very fast and organised the survey with the current owner by themselves making the process very easy for me. The survey was very thorough also! Nash
