Joe/Adam Smart Home Surveys
Joe and Adam are amazing. Slick, professional and personable right through the entire survey process. Detailed and comprehensive, the report was exceptional.

Excellent service!
Excellent service. Alex conducted a quality survey report and was a great support throughout, giving insights and explaining areas of concern. The survey was concise and easy to understand. I opted for photos to be included within the report and I’m glad I did because they demonstrated areas that need attention and I found this to be very useful. Prompt and professional, I fully recommend Smart Home Surveys.

House Survey
Worked with Alex and coordinated with Adam, both amazing people and super easy/fast to communicate with.
This was my first time getting a survey done, and Alex was so patient in explaining the different elements and their priority. He was also very helpful in going above and beyond for giving insights. Thanks again!

Clear report and friendly, customer-oriented service
Very happy with the service we received. Clear report. Surveyor was very friendly and happy to help us with follow up questions; we sent an email with a lot of questions and he took the time to go through them one by one, and he was also prompt to help even when we asked him something more than a month after the survey was done. I think the report came back 1 or 2 days later than I expected but this did not bother us too much. Thanks Alex & team!

Smart Home Surveys was great
Smart Home Surveys was great. I am satisfied with the service and the quality of the report. Kirstin, the surveyor, went into great detail. Also, Smart Home Surveys helped me find a trusted engineer to do a more in-depth check on a structural problem.

A service worth considering
The quality of report was professional in nature. I was satisfied with the detail provided in the report on any urgent and outstanding issues to be addressed. Unfortunately, mistakes were found in the report however the team at Smart Home Surveys were happy to help remediate these errors. I would suggest, with any surveyor assessment, that the report be read very carefully in order to spot any potential issues before purchase.
Great and efficient service
Smart Home Surveys was great in every sense. They were quick to reply to my emails from day 1, they have a nice portal that tells you the progress of the application, they gave me a good date for the survey to take place, were on time, the seller had no issues with them and then 3 days later I have the detailed Level 2 survey report ready in my hand. Very seamless.
Later on also had a call with Alex to go over some questions I had in the report and he was very patient and helpful in explaining them to me. 5/5

Excellent customer service, quality and responsiveness
Smart Home Surveys was recommended to me by a friend and I could not thank her more. My experience with them was fantastic, from the Enquiries Department (Adam & Tom) to the Surveyor (Alex).
Very detailed and prompt responses via email and phone, honest & transparent service, quality reporting, great professionalism and great support throughout. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Brilliant but a word of advice
Brilliant from start to finish. Went for the most comprehensive service which was well worth it.
Advice if you're worried about the gas and electrics then use Inspectify Gas & Electrics to check the gas, electrics and plumbing and central heating as I was worried about those. Very thorough inspections with photos and prices for remedial works.
My house is safe and that's all I was worried about.
