What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Surveying work on older and non-standard properties is the recurring theme across feedback for this practice, with customers describing Neil Hewitt as an expert in period homes and Victorian semis whose reports are thorough and straightforward to follow. Several reviewers highlight the depth of technical knowledge brought to surveys of ancient buildings, where structural issues, hidden damp and remediation advice were set out in plain terms rather than jargon.

Communication is mentioned repeatedly: queries raised before and after the inspection were answered promptly, and explanations were given in language that non-specialists could readily grasp. One thing mentioned again and again is the thoroughness of the survey itself, which helped buyers decide whether to proceed and, in at least one case, avoid a purchase that would have carried substantial hidden costs.

Reliability and professionalism come through strongly, with clients noting that Neil made himself available for follow-up questions and provided trusted information used to plan improvements to a property after completion. His willingness to explain issues in detail, even when a vendor or agent became difficult, is singled out as particularly helpful. The tone throughout is one of confidence in the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the assessments, with advice on suitable remedies for older buildings featuring prominently.

Neil's survey of our Victorian Semi has been, so far, accurate and helpful Neils survey helped us to make a decision to purchase the property and we have made improvements and adjustments to the property using the trusted information provided to us.

I spent some time looking for an expert in non standard construction and after exchanging initial emails with Neil I knew I had made the correct choice. Neil’s communication, knowledge and professionalism were second to none throughout the process and his survey was both thorough and easy to understand. The report was produced swiftly and Neil was happy to answer any queries I had. I’d happily recommend Neil to other prospective purchasers.

Neil is an incredibly professional and vastly knowledgable surveyor. Neil has a depth of technical knowledge which he kindly shared with me both pre and post the survey. Neil is very accessible for questions, and provided explanations in layman’s terms that I could understand. Neil is a credit to his profession and has been a pleasure to work with. Neil was recommended to me, and equally I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you again Neil.

Neil is extremely professional and has a wealth of knowledge and experience of ancient buildings and homes. Neil's survey was very comprehensive and uncovered a range of issues with the property we proposed purchasing including advice on how to suitably remediate these issues given the age of the property. Neil is very approachable and happy to talk through issues in detail to ensure a satisfactory outcome.

Neil is professional, knowledgeable and went above and beyond in both surveys he completed. His survey helped us avoid purchasing a beautiful property which would have cost us many thousands owing to hidden damp! Neil was also able to support us when a vendor and agent became aggressive around pulling out of a purchase. Neil demonstrated a detailed and comprehensive knowledge of older properties and the inherent risks. He also surveyed a recently built property with a similar level of detail, giving us information we could not have known on viewing, which had helped us to weigh up the risks of purchasing and an understanding of what aspects of the property will need maintenance and repair. I would highly recommend Neil and the need for a level 3 purchase in order to make an informed decision before purchasing.
