What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Punctual attendance and clear communication recur throughout feedback on this Manchester land surveying practice. A valuation carried out for a remortgage was scheduled without difficulty, with the surveyor arriving when promised, answering questions and returning the report to the lender the same day. Reviewers repeatedly mention the thoroughness of written reports and the willingness of staff to explain findings afterwards, whether by telephone or email. Max Grindler is named often for the depth of his reports and for keeping in contact from instruction to completion, including on a property where potential asbestos was identified in an area due to be altered.

Joshua, Amir, Richard, Scott and Kathryn are also singled out for professionalism, courtesy and efficiency, one customer noting how quickly a valuer worked through photographs and room measurements. A further point that comes up often is value: when three surveys were booked, a discount was arranged on the second and third. Customers describe reports detailed enough to inform decisions about the likely cost of repairs, and several highlight surveys turned around the day after booking. The tone throughout is of a well-organised process handled by approachable, knowledgeable people.

Jenna was the nicest most pleasant surveyor I’ve ever met, she was professional, chatty and friendly. Jenna took her time to evaluate our house and did a thorough job including measuring the rooms, she also has a very good understanding of the area we live in her local knowledge was excellent. Furthermore her valuation was pretty much what we were expecting the value of our house to be. We were initially worried due to the various negative reviews on trust pilot, thankfully I can honestly say that we did not experience that at all. Once again thank you Jenna

We have used Countrywide twice in this house hunt and we have been delighted with their service in both occasions. The first survey showed the high potential for asbestos in area that was going to be extensively altered. Max who completed the survey, was more than happy to chat on the phone and via email to discuss the issues. The second survey was completed the day after I booked it, by Max once again, and again he product was excellent and his willingness to discuss the report was exceptional. It’s almost a shame that we won’t be moving again to be able to use their services! Many thanks to Countrywide and Max Girdler for a fantastic job.

Great service from Countrywide, who competed a valuation as part of our remortgaging application. It was quick and easy to schedule an appointment. Joshua arrived on time and was friendly, professional and answered all questions that was raised. The valuation was submitted to our lender the same day.

Max Girdler was great throughout the whole process, answered any questions we had and provided a thorough survey report for us. As first time buyers, we had a great and positive experience. We really appreciated their advice and guidance.

I had to have 3 surveys completed on separate properties, Max Grindler was very efficient and responsive and also arranged a discount on the 2nd and 3rd surveys. Reports were detailed and informative and enabled us to make decisions re financial costs of unanticipated repairs.

This is the worst company ever Sent a surveyor to a modern 3 bedroom property in a village near Milton Keynes twice and failed to inspect it properly Failed to make it into the loft Spent a total of 18 minutes over 2 visits and managed to arrive at a valuation £65000 away from what 3 other rics surveys gave Not only that but when questioned about how he arrived at the figure he refused to give any evidence verbally or by email. This is despite rics saying at least 2 other similar properties within 0.5 of a mile sold in the last 6 months should be used as a comparison This is a very dodgy company be very careful if your lender wants to use these guys. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
