What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Homebuyers and owners of larger residential blocks who need property surveys in the Brighton area frequently turn to this firm, and their accounts concentrate on the depth of the resulting reports. Several customers describe surveys that were noticeably more detailed than others they had previously commissioned, running to dozens of pages with extensive photography, including aerial images used to examine the top of a high building. Reviewers repeatedly mention the value of the findings: problems were identified in time to renegotiate on price or, in some cases, to withdraw from a purchase altogether.

A point that comes up often is the clarity of the guidance that follows the inspection, with surveyors telephoning to talk through what they had found and answering questions both before and after the work was completed. Many comments single out Denise for her patient handling of bookings, willingness to address concerns and flexibility when appointments needed adjusting, while Mark is named for discussing his findings directly. Clients also note how quickly reports arrived, that quotes were fair, and that the service is one they would return to for further purchases. The practical outcome is a document buyers can rely on when deciding how to proceed.

Really pleased I chose Tates for my house survey. Denise was very helpful with booking it and moved it forward when there was a cancellation. The report is really authoritative and helpful. Definitely would recommend!

My wife and I are in the process of buying a house and chose to use Tate Surveying Services due to their high ratings and reasonable price. Suffice to say we were not disappointed. Correspondence was timely and the survey was thorough. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Having known Marc for quite some time, I can confidently vouch for his exceptional work ethic and deep expertise in the industry. He is incredibly thorough, meticulous, and holds himself to the highest professional standards. If you are looking for a surveyor who is honest, reliable, and completely dedicated to delivering accurate results, I highly recommend his services.

An absolute disaster. This survey has ended up costing us thousands of pounds due to serious oversights. Most significantly, asbestos was missed throughout the property — something that later required expensive removal. The presence of woodchip ceilings should have raised immediate concerns, yet it was not flagged at all. What makes this even more concerning is that our neighbours had a survey carried out by a different company, and asbestos was correctly identified in their property. This raises serious questions about the thoroughness and competence of the survey we received.We also discovered after purchase that several windows do not open or close properly, resulting in further significant costs. These are basic issues that should have been identified in any professional survey. When we raised these concerns, our complaint was dismissed. We will now be seeking legal advice to try to recover our losses.We chose this company based on positive reviews and paid a premium for what we believed would be a thorough and reliable service. Unfortunately, that trust was completely misplaced.I would strongly advise others to think carefully before using this surveyor.

Would highly recommend Tate Surveying - the survey produced was detailed and allowed us to identify issues and negotiate repairs before finalising the purchase of our property. The communication and guidance provided throughout this process has been invaluable. I would certainly use Tate again in the future

Great Survery, went very indepth, listened too our conerns and we felt that tried their best to address to them. We also feel that they provided a honest review as well as highlighting potential risks. I can tell effort went into this survey and its appreciated.
