Andrew McLaren Surveying Ltd

Andrew gives a very personal and professional service. He was very helpful and did a building survey at very short notice as I needed it for an auction within the week.

Gave estimated costs for other surveys, although there are companies that would do these extra ones for free. He also gave estimated costs for repairs or building work to be carried out.

Professional job resulting in a thorough report. Surveyor included cost estimates for remedial work recommendations that will be very useful to compare against a builders quote. Very happy to recommend Andrew McLaren and would use this firm again.

Really good survey. Good, detailed report which usefully included prices for remedial works where needed. Andrew also showed me around the property at the end of the survey, pointing out the major issues. He also spent time with me on the phone discussing the survey report. Would use him again.

Very helpful, with a swift and efficient service. Andrew, delivered exactly what he promised, when he promised it and for the price he quoted. A helpful, detailed report tailored to our requirements.

I wanted a surveyor to help settle some concerns I had about a property and I thought Andrew did a fantastic job. His report was thorough, detailed and included breakdowns of costs which I was able to use to knock more than £3,000 off the asking price. He highlighted several problems including a potential structural problem which the mortgage valuation had ignored and he took the time to go through the report with me in detail over the phone, which gave me the confidence to challenge the seller and the estate agent and to know when to walk away from the house, which I eventually did. The survey wasn't the cheapest of the quotes but I feel that I definitely made the right choice, it was money well spent and I would recommend him to a friend.

I found the Buildings Survey produced by Andrew McClaren to be very clear and concise. The recommendations and action points were very helpful.
