What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

McGeehan Chartered Surveyors draws consistent praise from Belfast buyers for the thoroughness of its home surveys and the clarity of the resulting reports. Joseph, the surveyor named across most accounts, is regularly described as professional, friendly and efficient, willing to spend time discussing findings and answering questions from purchasers unfamiliar with the process. A number of customers describe how quickly inspections were arranged after first contact and how promptly the written report followed, with one buyer noting that the survey took place only days after getting in touch.

Communication features as a recurring theme, spanning the initial enquiry, the visit itself and the follow-up, including a telephone call straight after the inspection to relay first impressions ahead of the completed document. The level of detail is valued for the reassurance it provides during purchases, and one account credits the survey with steering a buyer away from an unsuitable property. Joseph's familiarity with the local housing market is singled out as especially useful, while advice on defects identified during inspections is said to have helped purchasers settle on sensible offers.

I would not recommend McGeehan Surveyors. I hired Joseph to conduct a RICS Level 2 survey on the property I was sale agreed on. The survey concluded that roof structure, roof coverings and rainwater pipes and gutters were assessed as ‘green’, meaning that ‘no repair is needed’. Once we had settled into our newly purchased property, I noticed that the rear of our garage roof is visibly slanted on the right hand side. This is due to rotting wood and poor drainage. When I referred back to the images Joesph took of my property during the conduction of the survey, it is visibly noticeable how abnormally slanted the garage roof is (photos from the survey attached). I contacted a roofer to quote the repair, and it was going to cost me over £2,000. I contacted Joseph about this concern and he disagreed that the roof is slanted and ‘will not comment further’. He then, in my opinion, tried to scare me off by discussing that if took my claim to court, I would have to prove the surveyors complete incompetency, rather than this individual misdiagnosis. The report McGeehan surveyors conducted misinformed me on the quality of my garage roof. I have been left with a £2,200 repair bill and they are holding no accountability for their misdiagnosis. Do not hire.

Joseph’s service was fantastic! He completed his survey of my house mere days after me contacting him and provided an extremely detailed report. He is also very responsive via phone and email. I’ll be recommending him to all my friends and family.

Joseph went above and beyond to accomodate myself and my partner with a Home Buyers survey after being advised to get one by our solictor very late on in the purchase process. His turnaround time was excellent and he got us back on track with our purchase with full confidence in our new home to be! He called right after the survey with his initial thoughts and findings so we could rest easy knowing the full report was on its way. I would definitely use his services again and recommend him to anyone.

Joseph was a pleasure to deal with in our recent house purchase. Very professional and communicated with us regularly. Provided us a very detailed report that gave us the clarity and assurances needed. Would highly recommend McGeehan Surveyors.
