What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Surveying work for homebuyers sits at the centre of what customers describe about this Belfast practice, with instructions ranging from Level 2 and Level 3 surveys to Homebuyers reports on houses, apartments and older properties. Several accounts note the thoroughness of the inspections and the depth of the resulting reports, describing findings as detailed and comprehensive and covering matters estate agents had not been able to clarify. The same theme of clear communication runs through accounts of the process, with questions answered during visits and followed up afterwards, and the condition of communal areas and older buildings explained in straightforward terms.

Something that features in review after review is reliability: bookings are arranged quickly, quotes and availability confirmed promptly, and reports issued without the need for chasing. Customers also describe the pricing as competitive and the whole process as efficient and hassle free, while disputes with a home insurance company were resolved through an unbiased assessment. Named staff, John and Chris, are singled out for professionalism, kindness and practical advice, with repeat instructions on further properties and party wall and quantity surveying work also noted. Surveys are commonly arranged on short notice.

We recently had a Level 3 survey completed with John on an old house we are considering purchasing and we were extremely happy with the service he provided. John took the time to answer all our questions and his report was extremely detailed and comprehensive. He had clearly took a lot of time to survey the house when he was there and knew a lot of details the estate agent was unable to tell us. We were able to get booked in for a survey within 2 weeks of the initial call and the cost was extremely reasonable compared to other quotes we’d had. Without this survey we would have never known about all the potential issues with the house which could have cost us a fortune in the long run, so it was the best money we’d ever spent during our house hunt. I would highly recommend John to anyone and if we need another survey in the future we will definitely reach out to him again.

After problems with our home insurance company John and Chris helped us by conducting a thorough and objective survey of our house. In addition to being extremely professional, they were kind, considerate and a source of sound advice. If you need an unbiased surveyor for private work, I would thoroughly recommend them.

I recently used John for a Level 2 survey on an apartment in Belfast and was very impressed. He was quick to reply to emails, easy to deal with, and the whole process was straightforward from start to finish. The survey itself was detailed, clear and extremely helpful in explaining both the condition of the property and the risks around the communal areas, which ultimately helped me make the decision not to proceed. I really appreciated the thoroughness and plain-English explanations and would happily recommend him to anyone needing a survey in the Belfast area.

Highly recommend. Provided a detailed and thorough survey at a competitive price. We have used John Reid to conduct surveys on two properties for us now and would definitely be our first call if we required a Homebuyers Survey again.
