What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Around Abingdon and the surrounding Oxfordshire villages, James Ross & Co Ltd has built a reputation for the detailed reports that Stephen prepares for buyers of older and period homes. Customers repeatedly highlight the level 3 surveys he carries out, describing documents that run to many pages and set out exactly what is being purchased with clear context and explanation. An observation shared by more than one reviewer is the thoroughness of the inspection: when access to part of a house was not possible on the first visit, Stephen arranged to return and finish the job rather than leave gaps.

A handful of customers describe his communication as prompt and responsive, both while the survey was being arranged and afterwards, with questions answered patiently, including from those new to the buying process. The finished report is praised for giving buyers confidence to proceed, and the willingness to explain findings in plain terms is mentioned as a particular strength. Reviewers also note that they would instruct him again and have passed his name on to friends. The level 3 survey is the main piece of work described.

Stephen provided a level 3 survey for an old townhouse we were purchasing. We knew it needed work, but were unsure of the specifics and likely costs involved. Stephen provided an incredibly detailed and comprehensive 60 page document which opened our eyes to exactly what we were buying, with detailed context, explanation and likely costs involved. Very happy with the service and would absolutely recommend.

Stephen conducted an incredibly detailed and comprehensive review of our property. This gave us the confidence that no stone was unturned and we could to ahead with the purchase with minimal unwanted surprises. Thank you Stephen!

Excellent Level 3 Survey experience Stephen carried out our Level 3 survey back in January and was excellent throughout. He was very prompt and responsive when organising the survey. When he was unable to access a certain part of the house on the first visit, he was more than willing to spend additional time and return to complete the inspection, which we really appreciated. The survey itself was extremely thorough and detailed, and the inclusion of photographs was particularly helpful. Stephen was clear and transparent about the condition of the house and highlighted issues without ambiguity. The price of the survey was very reasonable, especially considering how thorough it was. Even after the report was completed, Stephen was more than happy to offer support and talk us through the findings, making sure you fully understood everything. We would have no hesitation in highly recommending him and the company.

Stephen recently completed a very detailed survey on a potential purchase for us. I was very happy with the quality and content of said survey, and Stephen happily answered my newbie questions. Wouldn't hesitate to instruct Stephen again if I need a survey! Cheers!

Extremely poor. Significant oversights in our survey cost us a good deal of money to repair, and were shrugged off. There are a lot of surveyors out there - I'd suggest using one who does a more thorough job.
