Our Services
  • We were very pleased that you were so thorough in highlighting the amount of work which needed doing, and I think that you helped to save us from ourselves.

  • Simon was incredibly helpful when we needed a HomeBuyers report completed. We needed it quite last minute and he went out of his way to fit us in. He was really good at keeping in contact with us and very thorough with his report. He was kind enough to talk us through the report before sending out the hard copy. A breath of fresh air in what has otherwise been a stressful and frustrating time. Highly recommended.

  • I have had a brief read through and would like to thank you for doing such a fantastic job on this survey.

  • The survey report you carried out on Brook View is very detailed and thorough , and the photographs to support your findings are very useful. I appreciate the time you spent on carrying out the survey and presenting me with a very professional report.

  • I believe in using local companies rather than faceless organisations so I was really pleased that I was recommended to use you to help me with Pixie Corner.  I know she also rates you highly and I believe should she ever need to recommend or use a surveyor she would contact you again.  The whole family were really pleased so a massive thank you again!

  • Just wanted to say thank you very much for your report. Because of it, we were able to successfully renegotiate a reduced purchase price

  • I would absolutely and with no hesitation recommend your services to anyone considering a survey.

  • Your report is very thorough and professional and of course raised a few immediate concerns. We believe positive feedback is deserved when someone carries out their job well ! Thanks again and may we wish you continued success with your business.

  • We are delighted with the quality and detail of the RICS Level 2 Survey carried out by Simon Wilkinson Chartered Surveyors. The report was thorough, and the items highlighted, including the recommendations on “Issues for your legal advisers” and “What to do now” a great help. We certainly benefited from your knowledge and experience throughout the survey process. We have not hesitation in recommending you to those in need of a RICS survey.

  • 5 Star service from start to finish. I cannot praise nor recommend Simon Wilkinson highly enough. He left no stone unturned and truly did go the extra mile in surveying a number of properties for me, his advice and guidance helped me secure a home that met my complex needs after a long and challenging journey. Thank you Simon from the bottom of my heart. You didnt just have my back i felt you held my hand along with it. Thank you
