"Professional and friendly service"

Professional and friendly service.
Everything explained to our satisfaction.
Would recommend Allied Surveyors to anyone needing a home report done.

"Simple and professional"

Keith handled our home report and he made the whole process very simple. Everything was arranged very quickly for us and that’s what we wanted. On the day Keith was very polite, professional and helpful. He made sure to explain what was happening and what he was looking for, he explained the process very well and when he was done he got the draft report to us in a very timely fashion. All communications were very professional, I would gladly recommend him and Allied Surveyors Scotland to anyone looking to have a report done.

"I was very impressed with the service I…"

I was very impressed with the service I received for my recent home report survey - the appointment was arranged within a very short timeframe which I was grateful for, and Keith was polite, courteous and professional throughout. The report was sent to me in draft promptly, and all communications were of a very high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend Keith and his team.

"Home Report Survey"

From start to finish the process was made very simple. Communicated well the whole through with well presented information. Jonathan came out to us and carried out a comprehensive survey all the while answering any questions we had making sure we were well informed with the process and what steps would follow.

"Incompetent Home Report "

Well after emailing the RICS Regarding this Company. The survey of the property which I was planning on purchasing in Chirnside the surveyor concerned failed to advise the solicitor in Duns about a PRA Path AVOID PLEASE

"Misleading - Bullies"

I feel that my experience with Allied Surveyors on more than one instance of purchasing a house has left me very disappointed and upset.

I feel that they were misleading and dismissive of me bringing up issues that in the end went unresolved.

To me it felt that there was something not right and I then discovered that on more than one instance, with the same estate agent using Allied, the home reports scored high, especially the 1’s. They appeared to be scoring high and very lenient when compared to more thorough surveyors. Features of our house that we had not changed at all in a very short space of time were rated 1 by Allied and given extremely vague and brief explanations such as “reasonably modern design”.

The experiences with the home reports carried out by Allied Surveyors had left me feeling mislead. Their categories score very high but in fact when the home report was carried out by a separate surveyor, the high scores were discovered not to be 1’s which we felt was a failure in duty of care. It left me feeling suspicious and unable to trust Allied Surveyors when serious faults were discovered in the property at a first glance when I received the keys.

I feel that Allied were at an advantage when carrying out the home report as they get to spend a meaningful amount of time inspecting the property closely and analysing its features - which you do not get to do on a 10 minute viewing when purchasing the property.

The seller told us that person who carried the home report moved furniture which contradicted what was claimed in my interview of the surveyor. In the surveyors own words, the seller is “honest” so I can only go based on their honest recollection of the experience.

The surveyor was extremely unprofessional in my opinion and used a tone with me that was condescending and I felt they were very rude to me. They made me feel like they did not want to openly discuss facts but instead tried to dismiss me. They were very defensive and interrupted me when I was only trying to describe the issue I was facing in regards to a category on the report being scored 1 when in fact it was discovered to be a serious fault. They also appeared not to know how making offers on properties works in modern times as nobody offers the home report price or less when attempting to buy a property.

My impression of the home reports was that it was not an accurate representation.

A house is the biggest purchase you will potentially ever make in your life. To be mislead about what you are purchasing is extremely upsetting and disappointing when you receive the keys and discover serious faults. I feel that it is a complete failure in duty of care and misrepresention.

In my experience I would recommend to do thorough research and be very careful if you are dealing with home reports. Challenge the home report and be very diligent when viewing a property. First time buyers especially.

In the future I will not be viewing any properties surveyed by them and sharing my experience friends and family to inform them.

I will be submitting a formal complaint although based on the many other 1 star reviews on here, I do not hold out much hope as based on what others have said, they police themselves.

"Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Isle of Skye rental valuation survey & report"

Our college Sabhal Mòr Ostaig on the Isle of Skye once more received an exemplary service from Andy Gray in the Inverness branch of Allied Surveyors. Their response to our short notice request for a rental valuation survey was instant with a site visit and detailed report all completed within 7 days. I would recommend Andy's friendly and knowledgeable professionalism most highly for this type of work.

"Allied Surveyors have been fantastic "

Allied Surveyors have been fantastic , very professional and left me with great confidence . Allied will be my first contact in the future . Especially before property purchase as their local knowledge is excellent .

Allied valued my current build project at each drawdown stage , I met with Alan Imrie from the Stirling branch , who was more than helpful and had a good understanding of the build environment and was easily contactable .

I have now completed the project and requested a valuation from Mark Hall from the Perth branch , From initial contact with Elaine at Perth ( who was lovely to deal with ) to a quick response and date given by mark , mark arrived early and clearly knew the build process and it was a joy to discuss the build with him , Since the initial valuation I have subsequently instructed Allied to complete an EPC on my property . I wouldn't hesitate to use Allied in the future and I would recommend Allied to all my friends and colleagues , I have been a project manager in the housebuilding industry for 27 years , and this is the first time i have ever written a review . Thanks again to all the team at Allied Surveyors

Kevin Hughes from the Selkirk office was friendly and thorough (within the limitations of a home report). It was all completed very promptly and we have no arguments with the results.
