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.

Brilliant service

Brilliant service from the whole Novello team. Our surveyor, Danny Price, was excellent. Provided detailed updates both before & after the survey, turning our report around in less than 24 hours. Fabulous service for us as the buyer & also received compliments from the seller as to his detail and professionalism. The support from the office staff was also brilliant (Christopher Butcher & David Boulter), providing really detailed support on the types of survey & were super engaged through the whole process.

Comprehensive Survey Report

Novello Surveyors gave helpful advice when I initially inquired about the options available. Communication was good and the survey was carried out promptly. I received a clear, comprehensive report together with the chance to discuss any area of the report in more detail with the surveyor concerned.

Overall I found Novello Surveyors were competitively priced, courteous, friendly and very helpful.

Was impressed with Novello

Was impressed with Novello. I don’t often like using a big company for a survey as I feel you are just another number and you can’t get the surveyors genuine thoughts on the property BUT that certainly wasn’t the case here.

My surveyor was Rafaquat Hussain and his communication was excellent. Discussed his genuine thoughts on the property and what was urgent and what would wait in terms of our renovation goals.

Must say, I am impressed with Novello from start to finish.

We had a level 3 pro service done by Danny Price. He rang us before the survey started asking for any concerns. He called after the survey to give the update and later on the evening the full report was ready. The report was comprehensive and easy to follow.

Excellent service from start to finish

Excellent service from start to finish. Nicholas carried out a thorough Level 3 building survey and produced a detailed, well-structured report. What particularly impressed me was his responsiveness afterwards. I had several follow-up technical questions, and he took the time to answer each of them clearly and in writing, distinguishing between theoretical possibilities and his professional assessment. This gave me real confidence in making an informed decision. Professional, knowledgeable and very helpful throughout. I would happily recommend Nicholas and Novello Surveyors.
