Report
Really impressed with the excellent service provided by
both Ed and Angela at EC Surveyors. The survey report was clear, thorough and timely. Our solicitor even commented on how thorough the report was. Found them be to be just as helpful with follow-up queries and clarifications, nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend them!

Would highly recommend, we had a Rics homebuyer report done. The service was very efficient and communication was brilliant. Glad we went with EC surveyors. Thank you for going that extra mile for us. Really appreciated.

Report
I called several surveyors to organise a RICs valuation for my property, including Ed Chamberlain. Not only did they offer a reasonable quote, the service has been exceptional. Angela, who organised and carried out the valuation, was friendly and helpful; this was particularly important to me as I have little experience or knowledge in this area. I would highly recommend this surveyor.
