Comprehensive Survey Report

Novello Surveyors gave helpful advice when I initially inquired about the options available. Communication was good and the survey was carried out promptly. I received a clear, comprehensive report together with the chance to discuss any area of the report in more detail with the surveyor concerned.

Overall I found Novello Surveyors were competitively priced, courteous, friendly and very helpful.

Was impressed with Novello

Was impressed with Novello. I don’t often like using a big company for a survey as I feel you are just another number and you can’t get the surveyors genuine thoughts on the property BUT that certainly wasn’t the case here.

My surveyor was Rafaquat Hussain and his communication was excellent. Discussed his genuine thoughts on the property and what was urgent and what would wait in terms of our renovation goals.

Must say, I am impressed with Novello from start to finish.

Fast service and excellent communication

We had a level 3 pro service done by Danny Price. He rang us before the survey started asking for any concerns. He called after the survey to give the update and later on the evening the full report was ready. The report was comprehensive and easy to follow.

Excellent service from start to finish

Excellent service from start to finish. Nicholas carried out a thorough Level 3 building survey and produced a detailed, well-structured report. What particularly impressed me was his responsiveness afterwards. I had several follow-up technical questions, and he took the time to answer each of them clearly and in writing, distinguishing between theoretical possibilities and his professional assessment. This gave me real confidence in making an informed decision. Professional, knowledgeable and very helpful throughout. I would happily recommend Nicholas and Novello Surveyors.

Highly recommend professional advice

Easy process to commission the level 3 survey with good follow up communication from Novello.
The surveyor, Danny Price, was an amiable professional who called pre survey to discuss any particular areas of concern. Post survey Danny called to provide a comprehensive debrief.
We were very pleased with the service provided and would undoubtedly recommend Novello and especially Danny. Many thanks.

Steer clear

Rude and uncommunicative. Surveyor didn't properly introduce himself and declare what he would do and how long it would take. Didn't ask to view different parts of the house, just came in and went about his business as if he owned the house-only spoke to me if he couldn't find something he needed. Then I had to take a work call and he decided that was a good time to ask me a long list of questions about the property even though I kept telling him I had to take a call, he didn't leave my office. Eventually he did leave and then just left the house while I was on my 10 minute call without even saying goodbye.
