Giles is a very skilled surveyor

Giles is a very skilled surveyor! I have had Giles survey a number of properties in Cheltenham and have found him to be meticulous, diligent and highly professional.

I most definitely would recommend Giles.

Giles Cooper is Excellent

I just have to say Giles Cooper is the best Chartered Suryeror anyone could ever instruct.
Not only did Giles provide the most comprehensive, professional Home Buyers Survey we have ever received, just as importantly Giles always made himself available at short notice to discuss his views in a very understandable, straightforward and pragmatic manner, which was quite frankly invaluable when we were confronted with significant issues and needed professional guidance to find a way through.
More recently, we contacted Giles about a potential issue with the house involving a contractor, & yet again Giles responded immediately, has visited the property twice and provided sound constructive advice that has saved us thousands of pounds and given us peace of mind. Giles is the expert Chartered Surveyor that everyone needs on their side as his advice is second to none, and with his friendly and relaxed manner he feels like a friend.

Certus Property consultants highly recommended

We found Giles Cooper, of Certus Property Consultants very helpful and explained to us what would be involved on the survey of our prospective purchase.
Giles was very thorough and gave us a very detailed survey and explained any issues and queries very promptly.
Happy to have chosen Giles for our survey who was recommended highly to us and delivered a very timely and professional service.

Certus five stars

As a late first time buyer with only a smattering of knowledge of property, Certus was highly recommended to me by the estate agent and I can say after my experience, I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again.

The report was discussed verbally in layman's terms, enabling me to make an informed decision on the property I was purchasing and I rather fear it would have taken a considerable amount of time to decipher the report which was lengthy and incredibly detailed.
I couldn't have asked for more!

Highly recommend -level 2

The process of organising the survey was very informative and smoothe sailing. He was able to offer appointments within a reasonable timeframe, which hasn't hindered the purchasing process.
Giles was extremely polite, knowledgeable and help during feedback telephone call and this is a great option to have ahead of waiting for the report. The report was sharing extremely quickly and appeared to be thorough.

outstanding

I am delighted with the service provided by Giles. He:

communicates clearly and has been easy to contact

provided a summary of the survey by phone on the day of the survey

provided the clear and helpful written report the next day , and wasn't just available, but positively encouraged me, to discuss with him any questions I had

was able to put things in context using his extensive experience of housing in the Cheltenham area

I recommend him without a moment's hesitation.

Excellent service

Giles carried out a survey on a house I was buying. He called me the same day with a verbal update and promptly issued a detailed written report, including photographs which illustrated the problems well. Giles explained the issues to me clearly, so that I was well placed to address and resolve them with the sellers. Giles was very helpful throughout, and effective in describing technical matters in a way that I could understand.

From start to finish the service from Certus property was excellent. We were having difficulty gaining access to the property due to tenants and Giles went above and beyond to fit us in at short notice and give us a summary after the job was completed. The survey was very thorough and Giles was more than happy to discuss points in more detail and put our minds at ease and help us decide how to proceed. Thanks to Giles, we were able to negotiate on the purchase price to reflect costs we would need to incur. We can’t thank you enough for helping making a stressful process just that little bit easier.

Excellent service

It was very easy to deal with Certus, particularly Giles who carried out the survey. The report was sent out within a few hours of the survey, and he made it very clear that I could call to run through any questions I had. I would thoroughly recommend Certus and Giles.

Thank you!

We had a great experience with Giles and Certus Property. We were recommended them to do a survey on our new house and we were very impressed with Giles' efficiency and attention to detail as he carried out the survey. After we read the report, Giles patiently guided us through the main points which we were very thankful for. We feel much more confident now and are very grateful! Thank you!

Certus is efficient and very professional and we were very pleased with the quality and extent of the Level 2 report. Giles is a gem. He’s friendly, knowledgeable and very easy to talk to - it was a real pleasure to deal with him and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his service.

Super efficient and highly competent

We have used Giles for a survey report twice now, once for a house which fell through and then again for our next (hopefully successful!) purchase. Giles is excellent - he provided verbal feedback on the day of the survey and then we received the full report the day after. Having such a detailed report has been very reassuring for us as first time buyers. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommended Giles!

Excellent Service!

We were very pleased with the excellent personal service provided by Giles and Certus. As first time buyers the whole process of buying a property is a daunting one but people like Giles make it much less stressful. He sent us an example level two survey at first so we could see what sort of service would be provided. The survey was completed promptly and to a thorough standard and following its completion Giles offered to answer questions about any aspects we were unsure on. 100% would recommend!
Thankyou!

Straightforward, thorough survey

We had a great experience with this company, we initially had booked them in for a survey on a house that fell through but they were very patient while we waited to find another house. When it came to the survey they were very communicative, Amelia who did our survey was great at calling us immediately afterwards to talk us through the main points. The report came through quickly, was very thorough and Amelia took the time to answer all our questions about it so we now feel a lot more confident moving on with our house purchase. Thank you!!

A stress free and professional experience

I am going through my first purchase on my own and everything is daunting. Giles was recommended to me and he has been an immense help. The survey and survey report were explained very clearly to me and Giles was a joy to work with. I will definitely be recommending him to my friends in the future.
