Promptness of response : As expected

Building Surveys, Devon - J Reeves - January 2022Promptness of response : Although they had an IT issue they arranged another survey date without charging me again
Quality of service : I was informed by the estate agent who opened and secured the property that the surveyor was on the premises for half hour. The surveyor reported that he inspected the garden from a distance so unable to give an accurate inspection regarding Japanese knotweed which was not present after I checked the garden myself.
Value for money : For the amount of money I paid I expected for a survey to be carried out thoroughly.
Professionalism : He contacted me via phone the day after the inspection and offered advice regarding asbestos and Japanese knotweed. I do feel surveyors should have further knowledge of these which would save separate inspections which showed no issues.

Building Surveys, Pontypridd - B James - December 2021Building Surveys, Bradford, West Yorkshire, F Hylton - December 2021
Building Surveys, Lancashire - P Blackett - December 2021
Electrical Reports, Port Talbot - D Marcenka - December 2021
Promptness of response : Very prompt but automated emails kept coming with the original quote telling me to respond quickly to get the survey done that week - even after I had accepted.
Quality of service : The price has been increased (almost double) since it was quoted. Suggestion that listing means greater work. Then a suggestion that old buildings need more attention. Listing and age are not at the same thing so I am at a loss as to why this increase was necessary. In addition the company did not make an attempt to get to the other side of the property though details for obtaining access were given. This side has gutters and downpipes that I want inspected. I asked for that but the administrator did not organise it and now I have to wait longer for a second appointment. No trust in the customer's judgement.
Value for money : Brought in the work with a reasonable quote and then doubled it!
Professionalism : Not got the report yet. First appointment was missed because they wanted to change the price. Third appointment will be needed because they didn't organise to see the other side of the property. I sincerely hope that the report will be useful. I have no criticism at this point of the actual surveyor - just the appalling administration of the company that coordinates it.

Homebuyer Survey, Sheffield, H K Chung - November 2021Promptness of response : The quote arrived quickly and date of survey was arranged quickly.

Quality of service : The report provided was not what I was expecting and was in no way helpful.

Homebuyer Survey, Coventry, Lesley - May 2019
Although the survey was organised quickly they did not send the report within the 5 working days as promised. When I contacted them about this they sent the report within 2 hours which suggests they could have provided it sooner.
Building Surveys,Telford, Maureen - May 2019Promptness of response : The company could fit me in at very short notice which was much appreciated. However I did have to chase a few times to get the report, which arrived at the end of the seventh working day after the survey (as opposed to the fifth). This was frustrating but not a major concern.
Quality of service : The report was very helpful, it would have been helpful to have been able to address the surveyor directly to answer any queries.

Professionalism : They were.
Homebuyer Survey. R. Clews, Northampton, April 2019.Professionalism : My first choice of surveyor due to the online reviews for their work, unfortunately they were unable to fulfil the request due to staffing issues in my area. However, their response to my initial enquiry was quick, polite and allowed me to move on to find another provider.
Building Surveys, ROWLANDS GILL, N Ellison - MARCH 2019Promptness of response : I chose this surveyor because they could do the survey promptly with the report within 5 days, it was done on the day promised but then it took 11 working days to receive the report. I received a phone call on day 5 saying it was delayed and would be a day or so longer.
Quality of service : The report seems to be of a good standard.
Value for money : Given the very high cost of the survey, the delay with the report means that I don't consider it good value for money.
Professionalism : Promised deadlines were not met. Poor communications, I was not kept informed, I had to chase them for progress. Building Surveys, MATLOCK, K Worf - March 2019 Response from Cosey Homes:
"Dear Customer, thank you for your feedback. Please accept our apologies for the report being delivered outside of the previously advised timescales and for any inconvenience caused by the delay. We do always endeavour to deliver reports within a five working day period, however in this instance we were unable to do so. Please feel free to contact me @ Jake@coseyhomes.co.uk to discuss this matter further. Kind regards, Jake Scraggs"Building Surveys, Thornbury, Tracey - April 2019
Promptness of response : Very quick turnaround, and at competitive pricing too.
Quality of service : Full report issued that highlighted problems effectively
Value for money : Competitive pricing
Building Surveys. M. Wan, Southampton, March 2019.Promptness of response : They quoted via email within a couple of hours of my request with yourselves. When I phoned them they to go ahead they came back to me giving me a day suitable the following week and then would email their terms of engagement and stated I would have to pay upfront. I didn't hear from them so chased it up the following Tuesday (the day before the survey was due) They had somehow sent the terms to an incorrect email address. This was rectified quickly and the survey went ahead as planned.
Quality of service : The survey report should have been with me after five working days, ie the following Wednesday. I called late that afternoon to be told they had spoken to the actual surveyor and he was running late with the report and it was to be sent to them Thursday pm and would then need to be quality checked, so would be with me late Thursday or Friday am. Mid afternoon on Friday I called them again to be told it would now be delayed till Monday morning but they had already spoken to the surveyor and he would give me a call with the top line info from the report. I didn't get any call. The report landed with me on Monday at 12.30pm. Since the report was sent I have dealt with their customer services and found their responses to be prompt although the reason for no phone call was not really acceptable given they knew they were already two days over the schedule agreed in their own terms and they knew I was frustrated by their lack of initiative dealing with the delay.
Value for money : They were not the cheapest quote nor were they the most expensive but overall I think it was a fair price. Having said that, one of the others dropped their price after I had engaged with Cosey. If the other company had quoted that price originally I would most probably have gone with them.
Professionalism : I think the content of the report was as detailed as I expected. It was clear to understand and after being offered the opportunity to discuss a number of points with the surveyor, he called me. He apologised for the delay and was very helpful answering my questions.

Quality of service : The Building survey was very comprehensive, 72 pages to be exact.
Value for money : They were also the most competitive when it came to price and were able to arrange a survey within 3 days of contacting them.
Professionalism : There was a delay of a few days for the verbal feedback and the report took over 9 days to receive but it was worth it.
Building Surveys, EAST MOLESEY, Surrey, M Inskip - March 2019Quality of service : Although the service was quick they didn't supply the survey in the timescale they promised but were only a few days late so not really a problem although I had to chase them

Quality of service : Most of our report had suggestions that were generic rather than specific to our property, the report also was I completely sent initially which meant vital parts of advice about going forward were not there. I called to enquire about this and they quickly rectified this.
Professionalism : Prompt, engaging and willing to advise as needed.

The service offered by Cosey Homes is excellent. The survey was thorough and the report comprehensive with photos to highlight what he was referring to. I received a call on the day the survey was completed from the surveyor who gave me verbal feedback and the report arrived 6 days later. In addition to inspecting everything, even things I had not even thought of, he also gave me feedback on specific things I had asked him to investigate. I would highly recommend this company.

Building Surveys Cambridge - Mr Beattie, Oct 2018Homebuyer Survey , Cardiff - Mr Thomas, Oct 2018
My husband researched property surveyors in our area, and as the surveyor we have used in the past was away on holiday he chose Codyhomes. We required a Homebuyers report on a property we had put an offer on. My husband made contact with Cosyhomes via the internet. They responded very quickly and soon after carried out the survey on the property we are trying to buy. We were impressed with the ,even of detail in the report and by how quickly it was sent to us.

Survey, Truro, Cornwall, Diane - October 2018Building Surveys , Surrey - Ms Kostalas, Oct 2018
Quality of service : Report very poor with numerous errors, when contacted they were unable to justify some of the ratings given and seem more interested in trying to sell me other survey products.

Quality of service : I had to wait for more than 3 weeks to get the surveyor report and it has caused big delayed in the whole process.
Value for money : It was more reasonable in the price, however, I had to wait for 3 weeks to get the report which has delayed the whole process, surprising company policy say within 5 days you should get the report. if you dont care about the time then this is best option, however, if you like to get the report quickly then better pay bit extra
Building Surveys, London, Suraj - September 2018Coseyhomes have consistently failed to respond to questions about their ambiguous and self-contradictory report

Building Surveys, St Ives, Gerry - September 2018Building Surveys. Stuart, Manchester. September 2018.
Quality of service : Rather disappointed in the buildings survey. We found the survey itself to be rather shallow. We'd also made special note beforehand that they surveyor should pay special attention to the extension and dorma of the property. Unfortunately, the surveyor, Gordon Lovell, stated in his report that there was no extension, and when questioned about this, gave an unsatisfactory response over why this was missed. This leads to concerns that if this major issue was missed (obvious even to a layman), what other, more subtle issues have been missed? I have been in touch with Gordon to ask again for his comments about this, but after a week, there has still not been a response.
Building Surveys, Bristol, L Lee - August 2018Promptness of response : Very fast and very detailed in response to request.

Building Surveys, Bedford, Emma - August 2018Promptness of response : The survey was aimed at 5 working days and it is late. They can't access their surveyor on the 6th day who is not a contractor to tell me when my report will be completed. They did not return my phone call after the polite inquiry and cannot give any clear answer when the report will be ready. I told them my conveyancer is trying to get a closing date today. This is very frustrating as the 5 day turn around has not been met.

Building Surveys, Leeds, West Yorkshire, Wesley - April 2018Promptness of response : They replied promptly and in a courteous manner as you would expect and all was done in a professional manner within a good time frame.
Quality of service : I believe that they have done a very good job, the only thing I am surprised about is that they do not carry generic keys that fit the service cupboards on the side of the house, as I would have thought this would be standard protocol ? The report was very detailed, but also again the drains were not inspected, as they were difficult to open - I cannot comment on how difficult, as I have not tried myself, but I would have expected the correct tools and perhaps a lump hammer to gently tap to release any rust, if not lifted for a while ? However, as I said I cannot say how much effort was taken, as I would not have tried to do this myself and am now paying for a report to be carried out, via a drain expert. This aside, I would use them again and reccomend them, as the report is very good.
Value for money : Apart from the aforementioned part relating to drains and utilty meter cupboards - all done in a very proffesional manner.
Professionalism : Very helpful, thankyou.

Excellent service. A range of seemingly good providers were identified with clear pricing I can't recommend Cosey Homes enough. The full survey was incredibly detailed with a large number of high quality photographs for clarity. I have had a few similar surveys on properties in my life and this was by far the best quality report that I have ever received. The price was extremely good too.

Homebuyer Survey, York, Natalie - December 2017
Building Surveys, Redcar, Sarah - December 2017
Promptness of response : They were very prompt and carried out the survey in good time
Quality of service : I had very little contact with them as they did what I asked in a professional manner without any ambiguity.
Value for money : A competitive price in line with the market
Professionalism : All round they did a very good, thorough job and I was happy with the standard of work carried out on my behalf and would use them again.
Building Surveys, Consett, Andrew - December 2017Promptness of response : I had to chase Cosey Homes to find out when I would receive the report, and I received it later than the expectation they originally set.
Quality of service : The report contained a lot of irrelevant information (statements of buildings regulations that were unrelated to the findings of the survey of the specific property being surveyed). However, the findings that were in there were very useful, and it was clear that the surveyor had performed a very thorough analysis of the property.
Value for money : £720 inc. VAT was not the cheapest quote I received (a similarly large and trustworthy organisation quoted below £700); so I paid a little bit more than I could have; but the difference was not significant. The quality of the work meant that I got decent (not good) value overall. Better value would have been a more specific, concise report.
Professionalism : The customer service staff were really excellent. Friendly, intelligent and helpful. The surveyor was a bit officious, but he clearly knew what he was talking about. I had a lot of confidence in the rigour of his work.

Building Surveys, Timperley, Karen - October 2017
Quality of service : 1/ Stated floors were suspended: they are concrete 2/ Did not test sanitary ware as water turned off: it has always been on 3/ In spite of being advised of surface water in the kitchen before the survey, no mention was made of this major problem or the resultant damp. This was witnessed both before and after the survey by ourselves.
Value for money : Because of the major inaccuracies of the report Building Surveys, London, N Rowse - October 2017 ​​Response from Cosey Homes: We are sorry that you were dissatisfied with the quality of service that you felt that you have received from CoseyHomes. We pride ourselves on providing excellent quality surveys and aim for 100 percent customer satisfaction. With regard to the issues raised in your review I feel we must try and explain our surveyors comments and findings in an aim to reassure you. With regard to the flooring, the surveyor did state that the floor ‘appeared' to comprise suspended timber overlaid with floor coverings which restricted our inspection and that owing to the conditions of service no invasive methods of inspection were used, as such he was unable to confirm his suspicions and recommended further more invasive checks be carried out should you have any concerns. Regarding the water supply - we have discussed the possibility that someone may have attended and cleaned up in anticipation of our appointment, meaning that no water was present at our inspection and the water supply had been switched off to conceal any signs of leaks being reported at survey. If you were to attend the property whilst the water supply was on then a leak may have been apparent however, our surveyor can only comment on the condition of the property at the time of survey at which point no leak was present. Please feel free to correspond directly with us if we can be of further assistance where myself, my colleagues in the customer experience team and your surveyor would be more than happy to assist.
(Hannah – Customer Experience Team)Quality of service : Survey was last Monday 8th October, was promised a telephone call which took two reminders to happen and I am still waiting for the report Building Surveys, Axminster, Devon, A Carter - October 2017 ​Response from Cosey Homes:
Thank you for getting in touch. Your RICS Building Survey was carried out on Monday 9th October, as requested a verbal update from the surveyor was completed the following day on Tuesday 10th October, which is within the 24 hour timeframe specified. I am sorry if you feel you had to chase for this, however, as you can appreciate ‘same day' verbal updates are not always possible and as such are never promised as part of our service. Your report was sent via email and followed up by a phone call from a member of the customer experience team on Monday 16th October, which would have been the 5th working day of the 3-5 day specified turnaround time. Due to the filter function of some email providers, emails containing attachments are sometimes redirected to junk/spam folder, which may have happened here. Your report was then forwarded again via email on Tuesday 17th October. If you would like to discuss the matter further please do get in touch.Building Surveys, Bristol, Amanda - October 2017

Building Surveys, South Welfield, Philip - October 2017Promptness of response : Unfortunately having booked a surveyor I needed to cancel the request My advanced payment was refunded without any hassle so ten out of ten,
Quality of service : I thought the fee of £525 was quite high but as I had nothing to compare it against I presumed it was the market rate. The terms and conditions which I read quickly seemed 5alk about what you wouldn't do rather than what could be done. I guess the more you want the more it costs.Building Surveys, Ponteland, Peter - October 2017Structural Calculations, Croft, Warrington, Andrew - October 2017
Building Surveys, Salisbury - Mr Shipgood, October 2017
Promptness of response : The young lady that telephoned was polite, friendly and helpful
Quality of service : The first reading of the report was quite alarming but the survey was really of limited value because most of the sections that scored 3 (Red)were the result of regulartions being introduced since the house was built. Other sections scored 2 (Orange) but were mostly basic maintenance that one does as and when it becomes necessary. Overall the survey was of limited value since the surveyor was restricted by the regulations and protecting themselves.
Value for money : The survey arrived within the time specified but I think that a printed copy should have been posted to us for the fee that we paid.
Professionalism : Never saw nor spoke to her!

Building Surveys, Newcastle upon Tyne, Nasreen - September 2017
The survey was booked and paid for two weeks before the survey appointment, the last working day before the appointment we were told it had been omitted from the surveyors diary and the survey was rearranged for a further full week. We were not happy or in agreement with this. Coseyhomes responded well to our objection and reinstated the survey for the first agreed date. However, I feel that as it was their error, the original date should have been honoured without further involvement of ourselves. It was only discovered the survey was not diarised because we double checked its was happening as we had heard nothing since paying for the survey. In all other aspect thecsurveybwas carried out professionally andctheircreportbis very comprehensive and professional. The only hiccup in the process was an administrative one.

Land and Topographical Surveys, Newcastle, Staffordshire, Carol - August 2016Promptness of response : The survey was initially booked for Monday 20th June after chasing I discovered that it was not booked until Tuesday 21st June. It took until the 29th of June to get the report. Following reading the report I raised a number of queries and did not receive a revised report until Saturday 16th July. This was nearly 4 weeks after the survey was originally booked.
Quality of service : I asked the surveyor to look at one particular aspect of the property relating to drainage before the survey was carried out. In the survey it told me the same information I had provided and concluded "Further investigation is advised". The first report contained 17 items rated 2 which according to RICS is defects that need repairing or replacing but are not considered to be either serious or urgent. However I could see no recommendations as to what required fixing. One of the aims of the RICS HomeBuyer report is to help me " • take account of any repairs or replacements the property needs; " as there were 17 elements rated condition 2, I did not feel it achieved its aim.
Value for money : Given that I did not believe there to be any major problems with the property and the survey confirmed that, I think that this would have been good value for money if it had not taken so long and any queries were answered quickly.
Professionalism : The surveyor was obviously very knowledgeable with many years of experience.

I then had further contact from the suppliers who provided the quote within a few minutes via email and by phone call the very next day as I requested the details in the night. Supplier Used: Cosey Homes Chartered Surveyors Supplier Feedback:I had an excellent service provided by Cosey Homes Chartered Surveyors.I was amazed by the speed of the service as we were in a rush to complete our sale before 1s April 2016. I made contact on a Tuesday, had the survey done by Friday that week and got the report by the following Monday afternoon. I was in a rush to complete the sale and couldn't have asked for a better/brisk service. The office staff (Jess and Christina) are very helpful who booked the survey and kept me informed through out the entire process. Graeme, who conducted the survey, called me on Saturday, after the survey and went through the report on the phone. He adviced me regarding what work would be required and ensured the report was uploaded on their system staright away. Jess was very helpful in releasing the report when I requested it to be done urgently and I was very grateful for that in view of our time constraints. The report itself was very thorough, 67 pages, and included several photographs with recommendations where required. The report was easy to understand and there was no jargon anywhere. The vendors of the property commented on how punctual, thorough (spent nearly an hour and a half/ two hours) and lovely the surveyor was, when he went for the survey. If you take into consideration the price for this excellent service, it is hard to believe it was the least expensive of all the quotes. I would certainly recommend using Cosey Homes to get your survey done and trust me, you won't be disappointed.

We contacted Mike Cosey , the surveyor from Cosey Rentals, St. Helens to advise us. We found him extremely knowledgeable and after showing him photographs of the affected areas he suggested possible causes, explaining in lay mans terms things like cold bridging and provided several viable solutions to rectify the problem, such as applying a thermally efficient insulating layer to the internal wall or supplying further ventilation to the external walls by fitting passyfier air bricks. We are very pleased with the results and would have no hesitation in recommending his services.
