Detailed Explanation

We feel it is very important to not only get a property survey but to also understand that survey. This is why we always make time after a report has been sent to discuss all the details with the client. It is during this process where we go over any issues found at the property, the reasons and evidence behind them and what they may mean for the property purchase itself. This is something that some larger practices and bank services simply cannot offer and as a result leave buyers in a risky position.

Testimonials

Thanks, Nina much appreciated and very helpful” – Chiltern Associates went beyond the average homebuyer report by matching the facilities to the special needs of the client’s mother who has mobility challenges. We also looked at the lease to interpret any challenges.

‘ Thank you for sending the report and photos. . Thank you for attending the property at the weekend in order to get the inspection done. We appreciate that and your work to get the report to us promptly. The party wall and garage issues are being explored further. Thank you again for your advice’   House purchaser 2021
I just wanted to write a quick note to say a big thank you for your work on the property. I was very impressed with the professional, prompt report you sent through and therefore I would be happy to act as a reference for you in the future. I think it is increasingly difficult to know who to trust when shopping for anything on the internet, and I was delighted with your work at a reasonable price.…

Dear Nina Thank you very much for the survey report. It was very detailed and informative and I appreciated the photos. I think we will definitely be getting the electrics and gas looked at before we sign on the dotted line. So thank you for that. Kind regards Fiona February 2019
