Our Testimonials.
Lets hear from our customers.
Mrs S Day
“It was Andrew James who recommended the Level 2 Home Buyer Report over the more expensive Level 3 Building Survey I wasgoing to purchase, so I knew this company was reputable and trustworthy. My expectations were exceeded by the level 2 survey. I was pleasantly surprised when I received it within 4 days of it being booked, I was originally told at the point of booking that it would take 7 days to receive the report. From booking to receiving the report, the process was simple, fast, and stress-free. This company is highly recommended. I spoke to the surveyor following having read the report. Nothing was a problem and all my questions were answered in depth. Fantastic.”

“We chose Andrew James Property Surveyors based on their excellent reputation. In a very short timeframe after contacting them, they scheduled a homebuyers survey (Level 2) for a price we considered to be very reasonable. Within 5 days of completing the survey, they sent a detailed report that was easy to understand and clearly outlined the areas to focus on for us and our solicitors. I couldn’t have asked for a better service. Andrew James Property Surveyors is definitely a company I would recommend.”
Laura B & Shaun A
“As we were first-time buyers, we sought the advice of building surveyors to ensure our purchase was safe and a goodinvestment. We instructed a home buyer report and a valuation. Andrew James Property Surveyors were not the cheapest quote we received, but they provided first-class service, providing an 80-page report filled with images and information/suggestions that have been extremely helpful. After receiving the report, we spoke with the surveyor (Andy) for over 90 minutes as we had questions. As a result of the information he provided, we were able to understand the property and what would be required to maintain it in the future. Excellent service. Very very happy.”
Mr & Mrs Alcott
“We booked a level 3 building survey to be conducted on our property, due to our suspicions that there were issues with past renovation work undertaken by the previous owners. The surveyor, Andrew Armstrong listened to our concerns and inspected the house thoroughly. Following his findings, he gave us a verbal report that helped us prepare for the final report. An extensive report was provided to us that, unsurprisingly, outlined many issues that needed to be addressed and included estimates of the costs involved in meeting current building code requirements. Having carefully reviewed the report, we took advantage ofAndrews follow-up call when he answered our many questions in an honest and straightforward manner. We received sound, clear, and comprehensive advice from him, which helped us prioritise the work. Andrew has given us the confidence to move forward with a safe and stable home. We highly recommend this firm.”
Clare & Jo
“We are first-time buyers, and we booked Andrew James Surveyors since they are based in the North East. According to various search engines, Andrew James Surveyors had the best reviews, the best price, good communication, and a sample report to show us what we would get for our money. Prior to the completion of the inspection/survey, the surveyor contacted me to find out if I had any concerns or if anything we had noticed during our viewing, that needed clarification. He contacted me afterward to give me a brief review of his findings and explained to me anything I didn’t understand or was unsure of. The surveyor as we spoke, sent me some photos he took so I could see what he was talking about. We received a detailed report within five days as promised, with defect and cost estimates, photos, causes, and the level of attention required. According to the report there was over £25,000 in damage and repairs that were needed to the property, so we are unsure whether we will proceed with the sale. Having said that, I am very happy and overjoyed that this survey saved us vast sums of money had we purchased the property without purchasing the building survey. Without a doubt, I would recommend Andrew James to anyone.”

“Exceptional service. We booked to have a Level 3 survey and valuation done on a property we were hoping to purchase. Both the survey and valuation were very thorough and I felt like no stone was left unturned. Andy was amazing, calling the same day the reports were issued to help understand the conclusions, plus we knew we could call if we had any further queries. We felt like we were in very safe hands and that we’d really been looked after. What a great team! Will definitely use them again.”
— Jane Paterson
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a building survey?
Yes – even newer homes can hide issues that aren’t visible during a viewing. A professional survey gives you peace of mind and leverage in negotiations.
Which survey level should I choose?
For modern properties in good condition, a Level 2 Home Buyers Report is often sufficient. For older homes, listed buildings, or properties with extensions, a Level 3 Building Survey is recommended. We’re happy to advise on the best option.
Are your valuations accepted by lenders and official bodies?
Absolutely. As a RICS-accredited practice, all our valuations meet the required professional standards and can be used for official purposes.

We aim to deliver reports within five working days of inspection – and we’ll call you personally to explain the findings.
