Thanks to the expertise of Keystone Valuations, I was able to go ahead and buy a beautiful villa in Cyprus with complete confidence. Their comprehensive service, including a full structural survey, was most professional and efficient, ensuring that that I paid the correct purchase price.

I was really impressed with the service I received when I booked a survey. First class communication & fast but extremely thorough report. I would highly recommend without a doubt.

Jamal from Keystone Chartered Surveyors is fantastic to work with and always goes above and beyond what we've experienced with other surveyors. We've used him on two properties that we're
buying and his surveys are detailed and thorough, also with a view on how we're going to convert them in the future.

The latest survey Jamal's done for us has helped us secure a whopping amount off the original asking price whilst also giving us complete confidence in knowing what needs fixing and roughly how much it's going to cost.

Highly recommended from us!

For sure, my investors and I will use their service again. The entire process done in a very efficient, professional manner. It helps me to tackle some of our biggest concerns with regard to that particular property investment. Will recommend Keystone to anyone !

Having decided to go with the full building survey (oppose to just the home buyer report) and paying more than average on top in the hope we would receive a more detailed, thoroughly checked and accurate report on the potential purchase of our house I have come away from the experience disappointed paying over the odds to use Keystone's services. I now know building surveyors are apparently known to perhaps exaggerate and perhaps include all faults no matter how small to cover themselves but some of the claims made here ought to have warranted further thought or observation.

The inclusion of a table to summarise the 'issues' were useful as were the photos to clarify however, some of the 'issues' pointed out were non-existent causing unnecessary concern. For example, stating movement noted in the walls due to what appeared to look like a crease between ceiling and wall papers naturally caused alarm bells to ring and should have been further investigated by Jamal like peeling back the paper to ensure. When we steamed the paper off it seemed like the paper was simply old as there was no crack or slip to the wall beneath. Damp marks were noted on a chimney breast but these weren't damp marks at all. An unsupported ceiling due to an opening in the wall causing a door to warp upstairs were not true, we had several different builders in to get their view who presented more logical arguments.

On the flipside some of Keystone's findings were fair and well observed but on the whole I would be inclined to use a different surveyor to Jamal next time.

Straight forward and painless to arrange.
Prompt responses and detailed report delivered within original timescales set.
Thank you

Excellent reliable service. Will be using again.

I decided to get my building survey done by Keystone because of Jamal Parara who called me personally after I made the initial enquiry. He explained to me in detail what the survey would entail and also emailed me a sample survey report I requested and also the price quoted was quite fair. I was also happy that I received the survey report on the same day it was carried out. The report was very detailed with photographs. There were some things in there which I didn't understand so I called Jamal who explained everything clearly.
I would highly recommend Keystone Chartered Surveyors.

I was very happy with the service from Keystone Surveyors and Jamal was very quick and efficient in his communication as well as carrying out the actual survey. I would definitely recommend this company to others buying a property. Some of the results were not easy reading but Jamal's wording and the estimated costs provided were of a great help in what can be a very stressful and complicated process.

Jamal was fantastic in both listening to our specific requirements we wanted addressing in our building survey report, but also the speed with which he carried out the survey and turned round the professional and detailed report.

The only thing I would say is he managed to do our survey faster than normal due to a cancellation at his end, but I would have hoped that he had let me know this as soon as he had scheduled our survey, rather than finding out from our estate agent!

Keystone chartered surveyors were overall a pleasure to deal with, and I would certainly recommend them to others needing similar work in the area, and will likely be going back to them for further domestic services.

A quick and professional service. A building survey from key stone surveyors provided me with the information to not only fully understand the condition of the property, but negotiate a substantial amount off of the previous offer.

Very happy with the service. Prompt responses. Managed to arranged the survey with a short notice and got the survey report quickly within the agreed time. I required additional service of cost estimates and I was provided them within a day. The survey found a few issues that the property seller wanted to argue with but at the end the photos provided with the survey and the cost estimates allowed me to save much more money than I paid for the survey services. I would recommend Keystone Chartered Surveyors. Thanks.

Quick turnaround and always available for feedback. Would definitely recommend.

Jamal Parara - highly recommended, quick yet comprehensive survey and personable surveyor. Great survey and very thorough!

Very efficient, turned up when they said they would, and a really good in depth survey with helpful friendly follow up from Jamal.
Would definitely use the company again.

I have had a very good experience with keystone surveyors.
They are very efficient and explained everything to me that I was not sure about.
The whole process was very quick and easy and I was updated at every stage so I new what was happening.

I would definitely recommend this company

Jamal was excellent. Contacted me immediately, arranged everything independently and returned a thorough survey within a week.

Excellent service from start to finish.

Prompt, clear and concise information about what the survey would entail, including an initial 'example survey'. Once we had booked the survey it was completed quickly and the report sent through a few days later.

Report is extensive but clear enough in its detail for the lay-person to understand.

Follow up queries answered thoroughly also.

Would not hesitate to recommend.

Great service, delivered as promised.

Helpful, clear report with images which makes it easy to understand and a quick turnaround which is really helpful with the buying process.
