Excellent and easy process from start to finish. I booked online and within a few days the surveyor was allocated and carried out the survey. The report was detailed and they called me to see if I had any questions. I really can't fault the service. Would definitely use again.

Broad Warnings, Costly Surprises
I paid for a Level 3 Home Survey expecting clear identification of significant defects that would help me make informed decisions before purchasing a property.
Unfortunately, my experience left me feeling that the report relied heavily on broad, generic statements rather than clearly identifying specific issues. The windows were given a Condition Rating 2 and described using general comments such as requiring overhaul, ongoing repairs and possible future replacement. However, within a week of moving in I discovered two windows with substantial visible gaps between the sash and frame that were not closing correctly.
The severity of the issue became apparent immediately after moving in. These were not minor adjustment issues. The gaps were large enough that wind could be felt entering through the windows and would visibly move the blinds despite the windows being closed. In practical terms, the gaps were so significant that a standard envelope could almost be posted through them. Given that the report stated all windows had been inspected in detail, I would have expected defects of this nature to be specifically highlighted rather than being covered by general comments that the windows were old, required overhaul, or may need replacement in the future. This made it difficult for me to reconcile the condition found after moving in with the relatively general wording used in the survey report.
A specialist later confirmed that both windows were beyond reasonable repair due to bowed casements and failed components, ultimately requiring replacement. The cost of replacing these windows was approximately £2,000.
When I raised this through the company’s complaints process, the response was essentially that the defects fell within the wider comments already included in the report. This was disappointing because it appeared that broad wording was being relied upon to cover a wide range of possible defects without clearly identifying the severity of the specific issues present.
What frustrated me most is that the survey did identify a separate boiler issue, which allowed me to investigate further and successfully negotiate a £2,000 reduction in the purchase price. Had the condition of these windows been described with the same level of clarity, I would have had the opportunity to obtain quotations and negotiate accordingly before exchange.
My concern remains that broad statements about repair, overhaul and potential replacement can be used to retrospectively encompass almost any defect. To me, it felt like having a car inspection report that says a 20-year-old car should be expected to need repairs and maintenance, but fails to specifically mention that two of the wheels are badly damaged and need immediate replacement. The general warning may technically be correct, but it does not convey the true severity of the issue to the purchaser.
The company responded professionally throughout the complaints process, but after two stages of review they maintained that the report was adequate. While the company was responsive and professional throughout the complaints process, I remain disappointed that what proved to be a significant and costly defect was not identified more clearly before purchase.
Based on my experience, I do not feel the survey provided the level of clarity and specificity I expected from a Level 3 inspection. As a result, I would not recommend this company to others seeking a detailed survey to help them understand the true condition of a property before purchase.

Excellent Attention to Detail
Stephanie, spent a good amount of time at our prospective property and it was clear from the report that she had looked over key areas extensively. I don't feel like anything was missed and the report was very clear.

It seems to me that the survey was done in a timely and a professional manner, thank you for your service.

Our surveyor Simon was very professional when he's carrying out the survey on site, as well as when he explained the report to us on the phone.

Reply from Camsure Home Surveys
Kenny from Camsure was extremely friendly and rang us to walk us through what he had found the same day. Second time I have used them and will be using them for future surveys.

Reply from Camsure Home Surveys
The service was good and the surveyor called to discuss anything that I wanted them to review while at the property. The report was comprehensive with clear recommendations and photos of what was seen.
I would recommend them

Very quick with getting the survey done and the surveyor called us straight after to let us know how it went which was good, helped put our minds at rest

Reply from Camsure Home Surveys
The booking process was easy as was done by their website. The survey was completed on time and the report was clear to read.

Reply from Camsure Home Surveys
The surveyor explained what he was going to do, and did we have anything specific we wanted from the survey. Told him our concerns and he followed up with a telephone call after his visit. He said we would get the report on the Monday, which we did.
