What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Prospective buyers in Portsmouth account for much of the feedback gathered by Portsdown Surveying Ltd, and the theme that surfaces most often is the care taken over both the finished report and the conversation surrounding it. Level 2 Homebuyers surveys are described as detailed and meticulously assembled, with photographs forming part of the document, and reviewers repeatedly note how findings are prioritised so that significant defects stand out without the reader feeling swamped.

A recurring point is the telephone contact arranged either side of the inspection visit, during which Reuben Jordan talks through what he found and helps clients decide which issues warrant attention and which can be left for later. Speed also draws praise, with inspections booked promptly and the written report arriving soon afterwards, while same-day discussion of initial findings appears in several accounts.

Clients mention how readily Reuben can be reached, his willingness to accommodate their preferences and his patience in answering questions, and the experience is felt to be more personal than that offered by larger practices, with quoted rates described as competitive. His manner is consistently called professional, and the follow-up once the report has been issued is credited with giving buyers confidence in their purchase.

Reuben Jordan was recommended to me. He was easy to deal with and carried out my Level 2 Homebuyers survey promptly and efficiently. Reuben called me the same day to discuss initial findings then provided the detailed report within a few days. The report was well structured with lots of photos. Overall very pleased and would have no hesitation in recommending.

An amazing service from start to finish, I can't fault them at all. Highly recommend and really helped me understand everything. Reuben went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed and created a really detailed report. Would defiantly recommend to others and would use again- thank you

Excellent service from Portsdown Surveying. The Homebuyer Report (level 2) was extremely detailed and I felt that Reuben had really taken the time to review the property with a fine tooth comb and to flag the really important issues so we did not feel overwhelmed with information. We also had follow-up calls which helped us to understand the issues found and which ones we should tackle and which ones could wait. Would definitely recommend. Additionally, there was an issue in getting access to view the drains. We managed to get access and Reuben kindly went back and viewed the drains, at no extra charge. This was so reassuring and really great service on Reuben's behalf. I can't thank him enough.

I am very glad I chose Portsdown Surveying to complete a survey on a house I was buying. The service was thorough, detailed and prompt. Reuben called to explain his findings and discuss the property, which I found very useful. He was also very accommodating to my needs. I would definitely recommend Portsdown and I would use their services again if needed.

Reuben has been nothing short of fantastic for myself and my partner. Professional yet down to earth. He has always provided us with the best service and has also been extremely efficient. I can’t thank him enough for his work and the work he is still doing.

I had a really positive experience with Reuben, he went above and beyond to help me. Unfortunately the property I found did have a serious mould and damp issue so I decided not to go ahead with the purchase. I am so glad I had the survey done, otherwise I would not have known and have to payout a lot of money upon moving in. I am still looking for a property and will be using Reuben again. Thanks for your help!

I've no idea why Jennie Jenkins is mentioned! My name is Trace Barnes and I hired Portsdown Surveying Ltd. to survey a property I intend to buy. Their service was second to none, with the most comprehensive report I have received. It was also the most reasonably priced service I have received for some time. There is no doubt that I will use Reuban for any future surveys I may require in the future.
