CUSTOMER REVIEWS

We recently had a house survey completed with Richard, and we couldn’t be happier with the service. Is a house survey worth it? Absolutely! In our case, it was a crucial step that helped us avoid what could have been a very costly mistake. The survey highlighted some major concerns with the first property we were considering, which we wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. Thanks to Richard’s thorough and professional work, we were able to make an informed decision and avoided buying a house with serious underlying issues. We came back to Richard for our second property and couldn’t be happier with the service received, the speed, attention for detail, communication and professionalism throughout has been nothing short of exceptional. Following our experience, we highly recommend getting a house survey done – it’s a small investment for the peace of mind it provides! Thank you Richard.

I used RJH Surveying and found them extremely thorough. I had my report very quickly. Richard made sure that I fully understood the report and gave me plenty of opportunities to ask questions. I would definitely recommend there services.

Would highly recommend RJ Surveyors Richard has been incredibly responsive. They arranged a survey promptly, and had a in-depth call shortly after visiting the property. They provided the results very quickly. I would highly recommend their services.

Excellent service, will give Richard top score for clarity, professional survey and speed. Thank you so much 💪

Richard took the time to explain to me over the phone exactly what would be involved in the survey, and that he would phone with the results the day after the survey, which is exactly what happened. He was very thorough, and answered any questions that I had, and explained everything to me in plain terms so there was no confusion over anything. Very pleased with the service I received, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others. Thank you so much.

We luckily came across Richard when we were looking to buy a local property. We were also moving to the island and he was extremely helpful well beyond his remit of carrying out the survey. His professional yet relaxed manner and super helpful attitude made the whole process so much easier than expected. Would recommend every time and definitely use again.

In advance of my survey I highlighted some queries that I wanted to be addressed on the surveyor’s visit. My survey was completed in timely manner, and the report was well constructed and easy to digest, and some photos were presented to indicate some issues at the house that need to be addressed. All of my questions were answered. I have no hesitation in recommending Richard for his comprehensive attention to detail and for this service.

We strongly recommend Richard. He completed the survey promptly. Afterward, he took the time to call and discuss his findings with us. The phone conversation was incredibly informative and beneficial. Having previously used a larger survey company, we found Richard’s more personalised service outstanding. We would absolutely hire Richard again!

Richard provided an excellent service from the initial conversation through to the survey report. Our interactions with him were professional, friendly and very informative. Our requirements were discussed in full prior to the survey, we were given the opportunity to flag up any areas of concern. He stated his charges clearly and was transparent in how additional cost might be incurred, which it wasn’t. The day after the survey he gave us a lengthy and detailed verbal over view of his findings. This was followed by a clear to read (photos and colour coded) and in-depth home survey report pdf. We would highly recommend him for all your surveying needs. Our huge thanks.

I had Richard undertake a survey on a 30 year old house I was purchasing. I am fully competent in house renovation, but I find it extremely useful to have a second opinion on the structural and parts I can’t view via an estate agent viewing. The survey was completed within 10 days and I had a detailed verbal report within 24 hours. This was followed up by a detailed written report within five working days. The verbal report is explained very clearly and if you’re not technically minded would be easy to understand. I would highly recommend Richard to undertake a survey on any house in particular when you consider the amount of money you spend on a house purchase and the small cost that a survey is, in relation to the overall cost. It gives peace of mind, and if anything is seriously amis it gives you some bargaining power to get rectified so you’re not out of pocket after purchase. If the house is sound you also get that peace of mind. Money well spent in my view. Highly Recommend Thanks Richard

Richard, he is very professional and reliable person.

An extremely thorough survey in my opinion with a kind and honest discussion over the findings thanks very much.

RJH Surveying produced a very thorough house buyers report for us. There were 3 or 4 things that were not immediately obvious to us that were picked up by Richard when doing the survey. Richard made himself readily available to answer any questions after sending us the survey report. We highly recommend Richard and will definitely use him again in our next project.

Extremely pleased with the service supplied by RJH Surveying. Very professional, kind and friendly gentleman who kept me informed throughout the Surveying process on my new home. I would highly recommend this company.

Richard was recommended to us by the estate agent and we are so pleased we followed their recommendation! He was really friendly and approachable, explained everything clearly and provided a very thorough survey, complete with photos of things that need to be looked at.

Brilliant service. Richard was so helpful snd very professional. I have been in my house for 48 years so didn’t have any experience in buying and selling, but, all the help and advice given to me was unbelievable. Many thanks.

Richard from RJH Surveying is most personable, polite, efficient and extremely knowledgeable. He took us through our survey step by step happy to answer any questions we had and suggested things for us to do that we hadn’t thought of. Richard’s local knowledge has been invaluable for us and put our minds to rest on several points. Richard kept us in the loop throughout the process, touching base to inform us once he had completed his initial survey and later once he had sent us his full survey. We would definitely be happy to recommend Richard to anyone looking for a surveyor.

Would highly recommend Richard. Survey was very thorough and he called me the same day to talk through his findings. Then followed up within 2 days with a very comprehensive written report including photos.

Richard’s survey was excellent. Very thorough. It was done promptly and I appreciated him calling to explain key points in the survey and so I could to ask questions. Top service.

RJH Surveying did a great job on my house. The speed and service couldn’t be faulted.

I have bought and sold 15 properties over the years and Richard is by far the best surveyor I have used. Very customer focused providing a first class service. No problem too small, very knowledgeable and happy to provide impartial advice, which is really reassuring when you’re about to purchase your next home.

Richard provided a very professional service. A key to this was his very prompt and excellent communication. Thank you Richard

Richard recently carried out the survey on a house we’re buying and we can’t recommend him highly enough. Great communication throughout, sound advice, and a very thorough report. He also went above and beyond to answer a last minute question before exchange of contracts.

We highly recommend using RJH Surveying, Richard has been amazing and very thorough with every element of our Survey. My initial chat with him was detailed and he answered every question I had about the process. He kept me in the loop throughout and even went out of his way to give me a overview of the property before writing the report. If we ever needed a survey completed again, we wouldn’t hesitate to call RJH.

RJH Surveying undertook a Home Buyer Survey on a new property that I was purchasing and from the very first telephone conversation right through to delivery of the Report itself, Richard was nothing but professional, informative, full of knowledge, willing to give advice and any enquiry I raised was responded to swiftly. It was a pleasure doing business with RJH and I would not hesitate to recommend their service and would definitely use again if the need arose.

Richard is very professional, knowledgeable and very reassuring. He sign posted and recommended me to the right people when he did my Home Buyer Survey for a purchase of my first home in Portchester. I would recommend to family and friends.

I needed a Survey on a property and chose Richard due to his knowledge of the local area and his reviews. Chatting to him I could tell I had made a good choice. I needed to change the date of the survey and bring it forward. Richard managed to juggle his workload and fit it in before he went away on holiday, which was much appreciated. After the survey he contacted me and we spent over an hour on the phone talking about the property. I found his advice was very practical and professional. Along with his observations on the flat and the block in general, he had taken the time to speak to neighbours and really got a feel and a history of the property which was very reassuring and answered a lot of questions. Very pleased with the survey Richard completed and would certainly recommend. I am not sure I would have got this level of service if I had gone to a bigger company. Many thanks.

We contacted Richard following research to engage him to represent us in our intention of purchasing a property. We managed to find a property and put in an offer. We ask Richard’s advice regarding the property. He did a quick search on the buildings approval permissions and also looked at the property pictures and details of the conversion. Based on his research it highlighted some significant and potential problems which may have an impact for future selling. This placed us in a position to be able to assess the suitability of the property and the failings of the developer who obviously rushed to make a quick profit. As we are retirees and this would have been our forever home, it helped us in our decision to withdraw our offer and saved us a whole load of stress and potential heartache. A 15 minute discussion with Richard saved us £425,000 !! Phew!!. We are glad we did our research and came across Richard and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an extremely honest and very professional surveyor.

I would 100 percent recommend RJH Surveying, Richard spent time on the phone to me before carrying out the survey on my bungalow and then phoned me the day after he had completed it. He explained in depth his findings and answered all of my questions that I needed to ask. After he sent me the report I received another phone call with more helpful information. It’s refreshing to have a company go above and beyond. Excellent service and I’m very happy that I choose Richard to carry out my home buyers survey.

I cannot recommend RJH Surveying enough. On completion of the survey, Richard kindly spent an hour on the phone running everything past me prior to issuing a very comprehensive report. The phone discussion gave me enough confidence to know the property was suitable for purchase and there were no issues with the structure etc. However, Richard also made me aware of checking for a building completion certificate for the renovation works that took place years prior, and the importance of having this document. Further to this, Richard also went above and beyond to check the land registry boundary where he noted an issue with the extents of the boundary. This was something completely missed by my solicitor and could have potentially led to serious implications for myself and access to my property. I raised this to my solicitor and ensured the correct legal procedures were put in place to protect me prior to completion. All this wouldn’t have been possible without Richard’s care and attention to detail. Finally, Richard was readily available on the phone at all times to talk through my concerns, and offer guidance where possible above and beyond what would normally be expected from a surveyor. Thank you again Richard and I will be in touch in the future when I move again.

Richard’s customer service is exceptional.

Spoke to Richard on the phone before and after the survey to discuss one to one what was going on and when. The report was very detailed and useful to ourselves buying a house. Very professional! Would highly recommend!!! Aaron

I highly recommend Richard. I recently contracted him to complete a survey on a property I am in the process of purchasing. He was extremely helpful and professional. His service was excellent, from talking me in detail through the service I would receive and then bringing forward my survey when an opportunity arose. I particularly appreciated the detailed conversation the day after the survey where he explained the findings in simple terms. It is an anxious wait for the survey results and this helped allay my concerns. His report was very thorough for a home buyers survey and easily understandable. Thank you Richard. I would use you again. Hopefully not too soon though!!!

Thank you for our report, we are really pleased with it and the level of detail hasn’t gone unnoticed. Being a first time buyer is exciting but also daunting so thank you Richard for making this part so straightforward. I studied conveyancing last year and the relevant parts of your report actually made more sense than my law textbook! Seems my exam would have been easier had I have bought a house first! I will be sure to pass your details onto any family/friends looking for a surveyor. Definitely recommend.

RJH Surveying were incredibly friendly, thorough and a pleasure to deal with. Would definitely refer and use again.

Richard produced a very thorough and well-structured report accompanied by photos where necessary. Very professional and friendly. A verbal report of main points over the phone on the day so we could raise concerns to our solicitor without a several-days wait for the written report. During the whole process we were kept informed and updated. Very pleased with it. Highly recommend.

I’ve just had a survey completed by RJH Surveying and I found the work extremely thorough, reliable and professional, I can fully recommend this company.

Richard hookway was polite and kept me informed with what was going to happen, he explained everything in detail and the results were very clear and concise with pictures where necessary. If I had a query he answered my emails on the same day. To put this in a quick review Richard was very helpful, competitive and I would highly recommend him as he done a good job and saved me a lot of money as the bungalow I was buying needed a new roof and he picked up on that. A very good report and happy with the whole process. Thank you Richard.

I found the whole process with Richard very smooth and professional right from the start. There was great communication and lots of reassurance throughout the whole process. I would certainly use RJH Surveying again and would recommend his services to anyone else.

The service received from Richard @ RJH was professional, thorough, very friendly and at a sensible price…if you are moving on Hayling Island he’s the survey to use, being local he can also offer some useful insights…highly recommended.

Very professional and extremely helpful when asked questions. Produced a very detailed and easily comprehensive report. Highly recommend.

I needed a survey on an older style property. Richard was recommended. The report was very thorough and Richard spoke to me at length to discuss all points covered in the report. Richard is very professional and honest and I highly recommend him.

Richard has been great to work with, went above and beyond with a very detailed home buyers report and was also very helpful talking us through the survey afterwards. Follow up queries also dealt with extremely quickly. Would recommend to anyone moving house.

Very pleased with the quality of work provided by RJH surveying. Full survey of bungalow requested, after completion a full easy to understand report was provided with photographs. One area was inaccessible on the day the surveyor attended the property, but he returned a month later and completed the survey. This included rechecking additional areas at my request with no extra charge. I have also telephoned with queries which have been answered with explanation, one call was answered by the surveyor when he happened to be on holiday. Very impressed, nothing too much trouble. Thank you.

We wanted an independent surveyor for a property we are purchasing. Richard was recommended. We were contacted very quickly, given a general briefing over ‘phone and full details by mail. Survey completed within days. Again, a ‘phone brief of main points and full report a few days later. Very thorough and objective, exactly what we wanted. Fees were very reasonable and clearly stated at outset. Highly recommended.

We are very pleased with the professional service from Richard- RJH Surveying. It has been really helpful for us. We appreciate for Richard’s thorough survey, his expertise and time which he took us though the details of findings. We will definitely recommend Richard to our friends.

We were unsure about having a survey for a property we are hoping to buy. However after speaking to Richard of RJH Surveying and finding out what the survey would include we decided to employ his services. The survey was carried out swiftly and an interim verbal report was given there and then. The full report followed a few days later and was worth every penny. Very detailed and informative with supporting photographs as well as possible remedial action if required. I would have no hesitation in recommending Richard.

Excellent service really detailed report and He was more than happy to provide detailed talk through and explanation afterwards. Would highly recommend very good value for money

I contacted RJH Surveying based upon a recommendation from a friend and I cannot speak highly enough of the company. Contact was thorough and informative and my report was fantastic and it really will make proceeding with my house purchase clearer. Professional service and fantastic overall. Many thanks, Sarah

When purchasing our house and looking for a surveyor we were recommended RJH Surveyors. The whole process was effortless from start to finish, Richard organised everything and double checked that it suited us throughout. When we received our survey report it was well presented and extremely easy to understand. The report itself left no stone unturned – we were very impressed with the use of the latest technology when taking photographs and investigating damp. All in all RJH gave a wonderful service – so much so that I would recommend them to anyone. We have recommended RJH to a friend and she was also very impressed and has said the same. RJH – Thank you.
