What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Homebuyer surveys in Cardiff form the backbone of the work described by clients of RedFox Buildings Surveyors, with Level 2 and Level 3 reports commissioned for purchases that in some instances led buyers to walk away from a property. George and Jerry are named repeatedly as the surveyors carrying out instructions, and their reports are praised for depth, with reviewers highlighting that defects are not merely catalogued but explained, prioritised and set against their longer-term implications. Photographs of construction and condition are frequently referred to as making the findings easier to grasp.

Speed is another theme that comes up often, with reports arriving the next working day or the following morning after inspection. Communication attracts consistent approval, from the first enquiry through to follow-up questions, and reviewers describe replies as swift and thorough, a point valued by those buying for the first time. Quotes are considered reasonable and the service good value, while booking is recounted as simple and the cancellation terms accommodating. Jerry's meticulous property notes, the team's reliability and its willingness to revisit points about future renovation work round off the accounts.

Sue and the team at RedFox are second to none! From first contact right through to the return of searches and additional questions, Sue and Jerry provided assistance and reassurance to every question asked. The report was conducted quickly due to a fast moving chain and was detailed and informative. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to friends and family. Absolute 10 out of 10 service. Thank you!

We were very pleased with the Level 2 homebuyers survey from George. The whole process was straightforward from start to finish and we especially appreciated the flexibility around the cancellation policy (not that we needed it). The survey itself was very detailed and contained recommendations for potential future renovations of the property, which we will definitely be referring back to. Thank you!

Excellent service from George who produced a very comprehensive survey on our new property. We live abroad so everything done by email. Communication was fast and kept us abreast of the procedures. Would have no hesitation in recommending the company to others looking for a thorough, fast , and professional survey at a good price.

wow, what can I say? Redfox Surveyors are definitely the company to go for when it comes to surveys - earlier this year, me and my partner went to purchase a property, both George and Jerry were extremely helpful throughout the process and arranged a level 3 survey. As a result of that survey, we walked away from that property - Jerry curated the most comprehensive and in-depth survey, outlining quite literally everything and was also kind enough to give me a call to explain points that we didn't quite understand. We then used Redfox again for our second property, and once again Jerry smashed it out of the ball park, they are worth every penny and I will forever recommend them to anyone I know who is after a building survey! (if I could give 50 million stars I would!!)

We used RedFox for a house purchase recently and had a brilliant experience. We rang around loads of Cardiff based surveyors trying to find someone that could fit us in quickly, and RedFox were pretty much the only ones that could offer a fast turn around. They are reasonably priced and offer excellent value for money - the communication with our surveyor, George Thomas, was always very swift and informative, and the report that we received was incredibly detailed, specific to our property and well explained. Would highly recommend.

A massive thank you to George for his quick response to my enquiry from the outset all the way through to helping me tap into his knowledge a bit further to get comfortable with the property (post the report). The report covered additional information regarding areas of importance for me and was tailored accordingly - greatly appreciated!!!! You have been amazing and would highly recommend RedFox to anyone who needs a survey. I will be sure to reach out again if I need to in the future. Thank you so much George!
