A mortgage valuation is not a survey as it belongs to the lender. Instructing your own RICS survey will highlight potential problems for you and your legal advisors, providing confidence in your purchase. When you invest a large amount of money in a property, you should do everything you can to maintain or even increase its value.
A simple way of doing this is by extending the lease. I have only just started working with Stephen and he has already demonstrated the high levels of customer attention and dedication that this company has. The first impression he has caused is such that made me write this review. I have no doubt that the continuous service will be of same level.
Looking forward to working further with Stephen. Lease extension - I found Daniel Grove very professional and had an excellent understanding of all aspects relating to this transaction. Advice was invaluable, and it was nice to come across someone who did exactly what they said they were going to do.

Arnold & Baldwin offered a very professional service from initial consultation and booking right through to the full Level 3 report and follow up communications.
Having been referred by our estate agents we had no previously experience of their services but were very impressed with the level of detail, options and recommendations outlined in their report.
Would definitely recommend to any other potential buyers prior to completion.

Jerome is professional and helpful throughout the whole survey process, providing advices and useful information to us which help us a lot to understand the property from the survey report. The client service team is great for helping us from arrangement to the follow up. Thank you Arnold & Baldwin!

We were really thrilled with our choice. The process was seamless; Tyler really had a sense of what we looking for and was so informative on the phone. The admin of booking and payment was so straightforward. Nathanael was meticulous; he kindly scheduled two phone calls to go through all the details and no daft question was too daft. Would highly recommend.

The entire process with Arnold & Baldwin has been amazing. Tyler handled my inquiry very efficiently and was able to book in a survey very quickly which was great for me and the timeline I had with the property purchase. Tom P performed the survey and was incredible. The report was really detailed and thorough and Tom took the time to explain everything to me, going above & beyond to assist me with any questions I had. I would strongly recommend Arnold & Baldwin based on the service I have received. I would certainly use again.

Excellent and quick service.
We wanted a face-to-face appointment at the property to be able to ask the surveyor as may questions as possible, which they were happy to provide. This made us feel very reassured, as the flat we are purchasing is quite old and has not been looked after by the current landlord...
Sam the surveyor is kind, polite, professional and positive and managed to send us the Level 2 report in only two days!

Arnold & Baldwin conducted the survey for our house purchase. They provided great, prompt customer support through-out, from the initial reach-out to when we needed to reschedule. On the day of the service, we received a call from our surveyor to explain the results, a very detailed report followed the day after, and the team also checked to see if we had any further questions. We will absolutely be thinking of them again, should we need another survey conducted.

I'm hardly a property tycoon, but I have engaged Arnold & Baldwin for a number of surveys. There is a clear difference in the customer service and quality of their work vs others. For example the home buyers report I received was full of useful and specific information, furthermore I was able to have a call with the surveyor to understand better the rating. Other reports I've had from other surveyors were just full of waffle! They are on the more expensive side for their services, but they are absolutely worth it. The quality and customer service really comes through.
I not only would recommend

L was very disappointed with Arnold & Baldwin. The surveyor failed to identify rising damp issues which cost over 5k to repair and meant the living room was out of use for months.
Joe Arnold was unwilling to accept any responsibility. I raised that in his response part of his decision not to accept responsibility was based on his assumption that I had removed the skirting board to discover the damp, when I had not. This was a testament to his inability to carry out a fair investigation void of bias for Arnold & Baldwin’s benefit. Arnold & Baldwin then contacted me to visit the property to consider
