Martin Loveridge Chartered Surveyor, Oxford, Oxfordshire.,Testimonials

What my clients say

Thank you for the detailed and comprehensive home buyer’s report that you have compiled on my behalf for our house purchase.

The report has proved to be invaluable in highlighting a number of issues that I was not aware of even having viewed the house on a number of occasions. This has given us the opportunity of addressing these issues with the vendor prior to the exchange of contracts and to make allowance for future works needed to the property.

You were highly recommended to me by both my family who have instructed you to undertake a number of surveys for them over the years and my conveyancing solicitor. I was informed that you would produce a detailed and comprehensive report which would be undertaken, compiled and delivered in a short space of time and for a very reasonable cost, this has certainly proved to be the case.

Once again many thanks for your assistance with the purchase of our property.

Thank you very much for carrying out the survey we requested on 25 S..... C.... .

Despite the fact that we felt that this [property] provided value for money and appeared to be in good condition we elected to request a Homebuyer Survey which you carried out.

I was very surprised when you said that you would require between one and two hours to carry out the survey as everything looked fine to me. (What do I know?)

Having conducted the survey you were kind enough to provide us with a verbal report in which you outlined details of a number of problems that you had identified and later, in your written report you valued the property at £XX,XXX less than the asking price and £X,XXX less than we had offered.

Thank you for providing an excellent service. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone.

B.... and I have now had time to read carefully your survey report on 41 S.... R..... We expected it to be heavy going but we were both pleasantly surprised that it was very easy to read and actually very interesting!

We both wanted to thank you for doing such a thorough job as your report will be very useful for us in the coming renovations and repairs. Yes, we have decided we do still definitely want to buy the property although over this weekend we will consider revising our offer downwards to account for some of the unforeseen repairs.

The survey report we received was prompt, thorough, and painstaking, alterting us to areas which required attention, in the right amount of detail. The report was clear and very professionally laid out, and supported by good photographs of the problem areas. Its judgements have proved to be acurate.

Two weeks after our arrival we asked Mr Loveridge to look at the attic, previously full of things which had prevented a full inspection. He gave us clear advice on this, on our central heating, and on a number of other matters, and made useful recommendations of tradesmen we might employ. Overall, my wife and I consider his service exemplary.

Dear Martin

I just wanted to write and say how impressed I was with the service you provided when I instructed you to carry out a full building survey on [the property].

The report was issued within a few days and was comprehensive and most importantly clear and concise. The report contained all of the information I needed to decide whether to proceed and provided me with that vital reassurance that the house I was about to buy was in sound condition.

I would have no hesitatiion in recommending your services to friends, family and clients alike.
