Excellent building surveyors

I have previously instructed surveys on properties I’ve purchased but the entire process with Novello was smooth, easy and user friendly. All staff I spoke to were responsive and extremely helpful.

I had Ms Green carry out the actual survey and she was excellent. The report was comprehensive, helpful and thorough. I would highly recommend Novello.

Initial experience resolved professionally

Initially left a 1 star review due to poor customer service when discussing a quote.

Since posting the review, I was personally contacted to discuss what happened and apologise - something I appreciated. Whilst the initial experience was disappointing, I think it’s fair to recognise that concerns were handled well afterwards.

Dear Daniel
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. Firstly I would like to apologise for your experience. We pride ourselves on our customer service, valuing our clients and their journey, be it just as a touch point for a quote or to instruct us to undertake a survey. While our sales team aim is to work to secure survey instructions, they should be equally committed to offering clear advice and a high level of service to all clients including those that for whatever reason, decide not to proceed with us at that particular time.
If you would like to email me with further details I will be happy to investigate this further sharon@novello-group.co.uk.

We had our home surveyed and the process was very easy. Our liaison, Marni, was very helpful and accommodating and the quality of survey would not have been better any where else in the country. This is a service I would use again, and a name I would trust.

Impressive

Danny price the surveyor was fantastic from start to finish. He called me a couple of times before the visit to understand my concerns, which really put me at ease. As soon as he finished the inspection, he called me straight away to give me a summary. I didn't have to chase anything. The full detailed report came through the very next day, which was impressive. I then called him with a few questions, and he answered every single one clearly and thoroughly. Couldn't ask for more from a surveyor. I highly recommend

Fast and responsive service.

All house purchases tend to be a bit fraught so it was very pleasing to be able to contact Novello quickly and easily and arrange a survey at a convenient time with no fuss. The survey went well with immediate verbal feedback from the surveyor concerned (Ricardo Chamberlain) and a comprehensive report a few days later. I would recommend this firm.

First rate service

I received a voicemail from Charlotte providing me with a quick summary as to how the survey had gone earlier in the day, followed by an e mailed report later that evening. She also made herself available for a telephone call with me later the next morning. That is service!

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Questionable

The team was very responsive and customer service was good. However, the report stated that basic features such like water tap and general fittings were all working properly and provided a high rating.

The kitchen tap is broken and I am now have to replace it which means £250 out of my pocket when I could have just simply advised the seller to do so. One of the window is not closing either which means additional cost just after entering the property (yesterday).

This was a RICS survey level 2 and I understand it has its limitation but kitchen taps and windows falls under this survey.

They do not answer any emails.

Very disappointed about the report provided and the content of the information completely wrong.

Dear Reviewer
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are sorry to hear about the issues you have experienced since moving in to the property.
A level 2 survey is a non-invasive survey and the surveyor reports on the condition of visible elements on the day of the survey.
That said, It is important to us to have the opportunity to review the report and address any of your concerns. Please reach our to me directly Sharon@novello-group.co.uk

I recently had a Level 3 survey carried out, and I would like to thank Jay Basa for his excellent work. The report was detailed, thorough, and very helpful. Jay was professional, patient, and extremely responsive throughout the process. He took the time to answer all my questions after the survey and explained the findings clearly and in detail. His advice helped me understand the condition of the property and make informed decisions before proceeding with the purchase. I would definitely recommend Jay Basa and the team to anyone looking for a professional and reliable survey service.

Great company to deal with

Novello were very quick to respond to my request for a survey quote. They made arrangements with the estate agent and vendor and kept me informed on the date.
Ben Browne called me when he left the property to give me his initial thoughts and then followed up with the written report within a few days.
They are quite expensive but I would recommend Novello as we received a comprehensive survey and are very happy with the service we have received so far.
