Homebuyer Survey. Chris. Ringwood, Dorset. May 2015

I was happy with the web site, It operated well. I placed an order with Michael Finn, the work was carried out to my satisfaction. Yours,

Joan, Dorchester

Fast and effective website. I followed up with Michael Finn, Chartered Building Surveyor, Fox Management & Consulting (Dorset). Efficient, thorough, helpful and fast.

Ross, Fordingbridge

Moving to a new area I did not know anyone but the website was a great surprise, read through the reviews and made a great choice: Michael Finn. Others did contact me too stemming from my enquiry - would recommend and use again...great website. Michael Finn replied promptly and notified me that he could undertake the survey the following week. He did the survey and the following week emailed me the report. The report was excellent, very comprehensive and covered everything that I needed to know. He gave me bank details and everything was done quickly without any hassle. Michael Finn was very professional and efficient, I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone.

Julie, Tilshead, Salisbury

The website is easy to use and has lots of good info. I followed up with Michael Finn of Fox Management & Consulting (Dorset). Responded quickly, survey carried out within a week and report sent within a few days. Very good service and comprehensive report at a reasonable price. Highly recommended

Sue, Totnes

The website worked well. I followed up with Fox Management & Consulting (dorset) - Michael Finn. Very prompt service, and a very detailed report given

Sonia, West Parley near Bournemouth

The website worked fine. I followed up with Michael Finn. Very comprehensive report

James, Alresford

The website was easy to use and presented search results in a clear layout. Much faster than attempting to find local surveyor through yellow pages or other directory services. All contact details were immediately available. Will use again if the need arises. I placed an order with Michael Finn of Fox Management & Consulting (Dorset). Michael provided a fast response to my email request for a quotation. He replied on the same day even though it was a Sunday. Consequently I instructed him to carry out a structural survey of a property I was intending to purchase. His price was competitive compared to other quotations I subsequently received. Michael was able to carry out the survey without delay and arranged a convenient time with my estate agent. His survey report was very thorough, identifying all potential issues with the property. He is clearly experienced in surveying old properties (Edwardian) because he observed characteristics that were typical in properties of this age and was able to advise where these were not structure impacting. Michael produced a detailed, clear report with estimates for correcting all issues identified. Overall, Michael Finn provided an excellent service and I would highly recommend him to anybody looking for a structural survey.

David, Radstock

The web site provided a good list of surveyors with good comparisons for each and I used Michael Finn, Chartered Building Surveyor.

Matthew, Marchwood, Hampshire

I found your site gave me the information I required. I placed an order with Fox Management. The work was carried out very speedily and the report I received was very comprehensive and informative. This report and the sample Michael Finn sent me in the first place are very comprehensive with an idea of costs for carrying out work that may be needed. What more could anyone ask? B. Cranston The website operated well and I was satisfied with all aspects of if functionality. I placed an order for a structural survey with Fox Management & Consulting (Dorset). The work was carried out to a professional standard and I am pleased with quality of the report and follow up service. Overall, a good experience Regards Frank The web site worked very well and I commissioned Michael Finn. I was very pleased with the speed with which Michael responded to my enquiry; his report was worth waiting for – comprehensive, easy to understand, salient without being scare mongering. M. Strangwick I received an estimate after speaking by phone with one of the surveyors. After phoning and consulting Michael Finn, I chose him. The survey has been carried out, but I havent yet had the report. An initial verbal report by phone was provided (I contacted Michael) which gave me a sufficient of an outline to continue with the purchase - subject to the detailed report. The website worked well for me.It also gave me acces to some interesting information about RCIS members going through disciplinary procedures which helped to emphasise the need to choose carefully. Paul A good easy to use web site and I used Fox Management & Consulting. They were very detailed and good value for money, continue with the good work. P. Franco The website met my expectations. I placed an order with Fox Management and Consulting. The work was more than satisfactory. Best wishes Bruce The website was absolutely satisfactory. I follow up by placing order with Michael Finn second on the list and was completely satisfied with their work. G Mitchell The website operated was satisfactorily. I placed an order with Fox Management and Consulting (Dorset). The work was satisfactory. Useful web site - user friendly. Bridport. April 2011 Your website worked very well. Michael Finn from Fox Management came back to us at once and knew exactly what we wanted. At £350 he has completed a Building Survey. We have had the report and proceeded with the purchase of the property. The other companies did get in touch but we were very happy with our choice. Kind regards, Hilary I was very pleased with the service I received from Local Surveyors Direct. The website operated well. I placed an order with Fox Management The work carried out by them was satisfactory. A very slick and pain free process. Many thanks Andrew "We found the website really helpful. Weve had the survey and Michael Finn was very flexible with when he could do the survey. We thought it was a good price for a thorough job." Thank you
