Great service from Francesca, Lindsey and David. I was able to book and schedule the survey with a week and received the report a few days after the inspection. The team is responsive and efficient. Very positive experience.

David, Francesca and team delivered a first class service to us at the peak of their busiest period leading up to the deadline for stamp duty exemption on 30th June 2021. We received a written report within 3 working days and the lending bank were very impressed with the level 3 report they presented. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Kutner Associates as a first class professional practice. Top drawer.

Report
We have solar panels that are very expensive to install and maintain yet the surveyor decided to leave it out of the valuation report. The valuation we felt was therefore way too low. This impacts on my children's lives as now we won't have the budget we thought we would have for our next home. Meaning that we won't be able to get a house in a nice area. Plus the surveyor was very aggressive to me over the phone when I told him I needed the valuation for the housing association by midday. Worst surveyor I've ever used and paid 720 instead of the usual 360 or so.
