Building Survey

I've chosen 'good' but what I really wanted was an in between 'good' and 'poor' option. But since there isn't one....

I was contacted within half an hour of having visited the website and got an online quote for a building survey.
The man on the phone was extremely polite and helpful etc etc...
I later booked it and paid for it. Was then contacted by another man to give me a date for the survey. All good.
Had to chase up the receipt for the payment, which was then emailed to me.
Our estate agent phoned and it turned out she and I both had different dates for the survey!
I was given one date and the estate agent another. So I had to phone to get this sorted. Turns out the date I was given was the incorrect one....
The surveyor's secretary emailed across some terms and conditions for us to read before the survey was carried out - we read them and had a few queries, so emailed her back. Didn't get a response in what we thought was enough time before the survey, so again had to contact Fridaysmove about this. They were helpful.
I also received a call from the surveyor himself regarding the queries and he was helpful.

I read and was also told that the surveyor would call me on the day of the survey (maybe while he was there at the property?) to run through key points... this did not happen. Perhaps as he'd already called me previously?

A few days after the survey, I emailed the surveyor directly to ask roughly when the report would be ready. Two days on and after no reply to the email, I emailed Fridaysmove to see if they could get a reply. They forwarded the message to the surveyor's secretary, who replied to FM and they then sent me the reply!
Found that whole thing to be unprofessional and inefficient.

We had a few queries upon reading the (dare I say it, somewhat badly written/not proof-read) report, and I have to say that these queries were dealt with well by the surveyor himself and by someone else from his company.

All in all, fairly happy with FM, and not overly impressed with the surveying company.

Thank you for your feedback.

We take all client comments, positive or negative, extremely seriously in order to constantly improve our services.

We note that there were a number of positive elements to your feedback and we thank you for these. However there were failings on our part which we both acknowledge and apologise for.

The booking date error resulted from us being mid migration to a new IT system being implemented to meet growing demand. The system is now fully functional and offers home buyers the benefit of improved communication. However this does not excuse the fact that you were provided with the wrong booking date and we are sorry that you had to chase for this to be resolved.

Surveyors contracted to Fridaysmove are chosen for their ability to deliver the highest possible service standards. In practice this should mean the most incisive and detailed property survey coupled with pro-active communication – essential during the expensive and often time sensitive process of moving home.

However, we understand that this was not your experience with your surveyor, insofar as your requests for communication were not always dealt with by the surveyor within an acceptable timeframe.

Furthermore you have expressed concerns over the standard of writing in the report. Although we understand that your concerns were subsequently satisfactorily addressed by the surveyor, we will nevertheless investigate and take whatever action is required to ensure the continued high standards of RICS surveys that home buyers should expect from Fridaysmove’s panel of surveyors.

If you have any further concerns please feel free to contact us and we thank you again for your feedback.

HomeBuyer Report

I have bought a number of houses in the past and used various surveyors. In terms of promptness and detail in the report, they rank amongst the better ones.

Lease Extension

We procrastinated extending our lease for years thinking it would be more involved. As it was, Fridaysmove did everything from the valuation to the legal work and now we wish we had done it sooner. You live and learn.

Purchase Conveyancing

As we bought at auction we had to complete in 28 days. We (foolishly) didn't have a conveyancer so we went with Fridaysmove as recommended by the auctioneer on the day of the auction. The solicitor moved very quickly and we completed within 28 days. We can only therefore recommend them.

HomeBuyer Report

Our experience of past surveys has been mixed. Some are a bare minimum affair loaded with caveats. Others are far more detailed. Happy to report that Fridaysmove were in the latter category, the report being very comprehensive.

Purchase Conveyancing

We chose them on our purchase based on the recommendation of a friend who rated their efficiency. Our experience echoed this as we found them to be very quick. Sometimes things would stall a little but this was mostly down to the sellers solicitor going on holiday. When this happened Fridaymove pushed hard to get the seller to insist that they appoint another solicitor but their attempts were in vain and there was a 2 week stall. Fridaysmove did everything they could have done.

The solicitor was good and I was particularly impressed at his availability over most of the Christmas period. We are now in our new home and very happy with it.

Building Survey

I went for the building survey as it is more detailed than the home buyer report and not actually that much dearer. They also threw in the valuation for free. The surveyor called to inform me of a couple of concerns whilst he was still at the house and I got the full survey a couple of days later. A very good service all in all.

Sale Conveyancing

I wanted a local office so we could go in and see the solicitor. That is exactly what I got, although in the end I never met the solicitor as the sale all happened by email without a hitch. Still think its important to go with a solicitor you can actually meet though just in case you need to. So would definitely recommend Fridaysmove

HomeBuyer Report

Although the survey was detailed and substantial, the report got to me a day later than promised so in this respect the service fell a little short.

Thank you for your comments. As discussed the surveyor was concerned that the cracks to the front elevation had recently widened. As a monitoring plate had already been fitted but lacked date information, we needed confirmation from the vendor before the report could be finalised. In any event, we understand that subsidence is not an issue and we wish you well in your new home.

Building Survey

Went for a building survey as property had a number of areas of concern. The building survey was only a few £s more than the standard survey and money well spent. Survey was thorough and emailed in 2 days. Was good to have the surveyor and solicitor co-ordinated.
