Report
The homebuyers report I had done by Chamberlains was thorough and done very quickly following the inspection. I had a few follow up questions which were answered almost immediately. My parents used these guys too and had a similarly excellent service.

Do not use this firm. They are extremely rude. When you make a complaint about their customer service, they do not apologise or do anything about it. Avoid at all costs.

I am a Solicitor and I have used Stewart for a number of valuation reports. They are always very prompt and efficient, and have a reasonable fee structure. His secretary Teresa is also very helpful and efficient in answering queries.
