I would thoroughly recommend Southdown surveyors. I used them for a snagging report on a new build and their service was top notch. Lisa and Caroline coordinated excellently from the office while Mike made a thorough review of the property and produced a fantastic report with numerous observations which were extremely useful.
At first I was hesitating whether to do a snagging report but I would strongly recommend it for any new build buyer - the specialists simply see so much more than you can - and secondly I would have no hesitation in recommending Southdown.
In my case, they even went the extra mile by revisiting the property at my request to look at something I felt had been missed, though which was not technically their mistake.. in other words, they listened reasonably and came to a good and fair solution which showed their excellent customer service credentials.

Southdowns have mismanaged our property from the day they took over the contract.
We had a small leak when it rained and they did nothing that was a year ago.
Now we have a large leak which is finally being addressed but the problem behind it has become more substantial.
When contacted for small jobs lights blown in the communal hallway, lift not working they have to be badged into doing something.
Avoid them save your money.

I used Southdown for a full building survey, and I've been really impressed with both the communication from their offices, and the detail of the survey received. In addition to the normal scope of the survey, I had some specific queries for the surveyor, which he addressed comprehensively. The report contained a lot more detail than I expected, and some of the additional information really saved me some work when I moved in to the property! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Southdown for your house survey.

We appointed Southdown Surveyors to carry out a building survey for our potential purchase. We were very pleased with the detailed and carefully written survey we received, and Michael responded promptly and helpfully to our questions both before and after the work was carried out. Would definitely recommend.

We had the pleasure this year of enlisting Southdown Surveyors for two RICS Building Surveys, both of which were carried out with upmost professionalism. Matthew was meticulous in his reporting of the period properties, both of which were Georgian. He had extensive understanding of the historical significance and potential underlying problems properties of this age may have. Would highly recommend for top notch service and reasonable pricing.

I am extremely happy with the service we received from Southdown Surveyors.The report was very reader friendly and thorough. We were able to see what the concerns were regarding the property and that really helped us. I would highly recommend Southdown Surveyors and we would definately use them again.
