A five star service
Having used Sheffords before to carry out a defect report, we didn’t hesitate in using them again to carry out a level 2 survey on a property we’re purchasing. The survey was carried out by Mr Treliving, within a few days of submitting our request and full report received less than a week later. Report was written in such a way that it was easily understood and items needing attention were clearly described and coded according to urgency.
We thoroughly recommend Sheffords where you can be sure you’ll receive a five star service.
Fantastic Chartered Surveyors
I had a truly fantastic experience with Sheffords. From my initial enquiry as to which level of survey would be suitable for the property I was buying, to receiving a highly detailed report which Jeremy very kindly talked me through when I had further questions. They are a brilliant team who go above and beyond for their clients. I would recommend them to anyone needing a reliable and knowledgeable firm to assist in a property transaction. I will certainly be using them again.

Excellent service from Sheffords
Received an excellent service from Sheffords. The survey (level 3) was conducted quite soon after I had booked and was very thorough with pictures making clear what the issues were with the property that I should be aware of. Would definitely recommend.

All aspects were OK except extent of survey was excessive for what I required for a 1 bed ground floor leasehold flat. I suspect this was to try to justify a high cost.

Reassuringly professional and friendly
I was delighted that I had trusted the reviews and appointed a reassuringly professional and friendly surveyor. The level 3 survey report we received from Ed Treliving was very thorough, clearly written and contained sensible recommendations. Ed happily spent time talking me through all the key points. I would thoroughly recommend Sheffords to anyone wanting to feel in safe hands.

Sheffords provided a Condition Report
Sheffords provided a bespoke report to enable us to understand the condition of the property and any maintenance issues that we were likely to incur.
From the moment we contacted Sheffords, we found them to be professional and practical in their approach. Jeremy was knowledgable and dicussed various aspects of the property during his visit, clarifying points in more detail to help us understand the possible cause, and practical solutions to remedy issues he identified.
We would highly recommend Sheffords, Sevenoaks.

Sheffords provided me with a complete and detailed survey. What really stands out is the helpful follow up conversation and time they were willing to spend to go through my points of concern. A professional firm that takes an extra step.

A Level 3 Survey is a no brainer with Sheffords!!
Having instructed a Level 3 Survey on a property that had not been updated in considerable decades, Im very glad that I did this via such a reputable company that is Sheffords, Who's reputation is exemplary.
Various issue were identified and having been provided pictures during the survey proved very helpful when consulting builders and renegotiating the purchase price.
I highly recommend this firm and will be using them again in the future as and when is required.

Level 3 Survey - saved us!
I cannot recommend Sheffords highly enough. The quality of the Level 3 Survey we received was unparalleled and identified major concerns that ultimately a structural engineer concerned - in all saving us from a very costly purchase that we otherwise would have proceeded with blindly. We will undoubtedly be using them for any further house purchase.

We were extremely impressed with the collaborative and engaging services from Sheffords - the clear and robust advise helped us to make a very difficult decision not to proceed with a house purchase.... certainly better to have clear expert opinion early

Excellent service, we would highly recommend
We were recommended Sheffords and we instructed them to carry out a level 3 and level 2 survey on two potential properties. Ed and Louisa were extremely efficient, thorough, detailed and professional. They provided two very detailed reports and took the time to go through their findings with us in a clear and friendly manner. They were also available to answer any additional enquiries we had, where possible. Their services and findings were key to our decision on buying our forever home.
We would highly recommended them to anyone looking for a surveyor.
