TrustpilotProfession speedy service!
Canβt fault the service received. Enquired about a level 2 homebuyers report on the Tuesday. Booked and paid for it on the Wednesday. Survey was done at the property on Friday morning!Monday lunchtime I was called by the surveyor to go through the findings with me. Very professional and reasonably priced. Would recommend!

TrustpilotTerrible service
I used Watson back in early 2020 to find a tenant, only to find out after not stop aggravation and anti social behavior that said tenant had been evicted before before prior to signing up with me. Watsonβs tried to fob me off blaming the referencing agency however my contract was with Watsonβs and the responsibility lays with them to insure property and vigilant referencing. The result was in the end I had to evict the tenant who inflicted Β£11,600.00 worth of damages. I received no reimbursement or compensation from Watson and the service I paid for was worthless.

Super quick to book with the different levels of survey clearly explained and quoted for so I could make a choice on which to go for. A member of the team followed up to see if there were any specific concerns I wanted checked and passed this info to my surveyor. They also managed to move the date of my survey forward when they had a cancellation and got the full report to me within 7 days. Excellent service

TrustpilotNot what I paid for !
They could not gain access to examine drains, stating I should pay for camera inspection !!. But more importantly, my Solicitor's searches with local council showed a ' possible ' Rail Link extension from Cambridge, which I am finding difficult to investigate. The Surveyor stated " They couldn't comment! ", which I find incredible, given it's within the remit of Public Information and I would assume Local Surveyors have their fingers on the pulse ! . Otherwise - report was sufficient !

TrustpilotDon't be gullible
I have no problem in the booking and the cost was as ridiculous as any other regarding surveys. My issue is the time taken, about an hour, and the equipment used, binoculars, tape and damp meter.My report was not full and to the point, most of the report does not go into any issues, its all no worries at present. I was a builder for 30 years plus and tested a few areas to be checked by the surveyor, well within the remit of him/her and never had an answer to any of them. Recommended by the estate agent of the seller also. Very poor service and no want to speak to you once completed. Not a complete report but when/if I find a problem the relevant body will know of it

TrustpilotNot worth the money!
Not worth the money!Absolutely not what we paid for, incorrect report that could have cost us hundreds in investigation fees. All it needed was the surveyor to look and use their eyes. A supposedly dangerous boiler was just one of the many things on the list; yet it was brand new with complete registration and service history attached to the actual boiler! However, apparently, no certification existed. I would question if they went to the correct house.Upon questioning this politely, with the list of others things that were clearly incorrect; all I received was a screenshot of the report I was stating was incorrect. After questioning again, I received an email suggesting I go and collect all of the certificates from the homeowner, and send them over to be verified. After I explained, this is what I paid them to do originally, all I got was the list of the complaints procedure.Finally, after submitting a formal complaint, I received an email stating they do not believe that they were wrong and that it would not be taken any further.In my opinion, it was the biggest waste of time and money, with a standardised response, and no qualifications to do anything.Poor customer service, and workmanship. Could cost people hundreds for no reason.

TrustpilotFantastic results, good communication, and competitive prices
The process was extremely easy, a quick phone call to discuss options and recommendations, an example survey, payment online, and a phone call before the survey to confirm any specific details I'd like to be inspected and checked, which was much appreciated.For the survey itself, I recieved a comprehensive report about much of the house, and a few relevant recommendations for further inspections by specialists. I'm much more confident in my house purchase, and I can't say a bad thing about them.Thank you!

TrustpilotThorough in terms of areas mentioned
Thorough in terms of areas mentioned, but a lot more copy and paste and seemingly legal covering rather than bespoke and honest advice. Disappointed to have paid extra for an expert valuation as again was very generic and only a line or two long. Overall I think the cost compared to what I've learned is not good value for money and had no more detail than that which an average person could gather.

TrustpilotZero Value Report
Asked them to make a survey so I can have a Peace of mind on the property I am about to buyThe report came back saying pretty much the following:Looking good, but you need a specialist to check Looking bad but..... it might be good as we don't have The certificateThat happened pretty much with every aspect of the houseThe survey was of zero value!!On the top they havent checked the :water pressurebeen in the loftthey didnt bother to check at all.... they just had a quick look as produced a standard report that has absolutely no value to a buyer.i was about to forgive their incopetanse and the fact that they didnt care so i sent them to review some images from the loft that they didnt botherto get in and survey but i did manage to access!!They refused to comment on the pictures.Not only they havent done their job but they dont give any advice on the picturesi took for them.....very very direspectful!you dont want to work with these people!!i feel like it was a total waste of money and i dont recomend them to the slightest.
