A five star service
Having used Sheffords before to carry out a defect report, we didn’t hesitate in using them again to carry out a level 2 survey on a property we’re purchasing. The survey was carried out by Mr Treliving, within a few days of submitting our request and full report received less than a week later. Report was written in such a way that it was easily understood and items needing attention were clearly described and coded according to urgency.
We thoroughly recommend Sheffords where you can be sure you’ll receive a five star service.
Excellent service
Excellent service. I had a problem with some sinking in my front drive. Ed Trevliving from Sheffords visited, assessed the problem and provided an excellent report which has enabled me to address the issues found.

Valuable Survey
Sheffords carried out a house survey for us which found a few problems not picked up by our original survey when we bought the house. Thorough job and undoubtedly saved us £££ in the long run. Great Job!

Fantastic Chartered Surveyors
I had a truly fantastic experience with Sheffords. From my initial enquiry as to which level of survey would be suitable for the property I was buying, to receiving a highly detailed report which Jeremy very kindly talked me through when I had further questions. They are a brilliant team who go above and beyond for their clients. I would recommend them to anyone needing a reliable and knowledgeable firm to assist in a property transaction. I will certainly be using them again.

On site assistance during a build
I’m an architect, and needed some urgent, independent advice to resolve some water ingress issues occurring on site during the later stages of construction on my project. Ed helped immediately. He attended site on two occasions: to assess the issue privately, and then again to discuss possible solutions and resolutions with the contractor, client/myself. His experience, and his calm, yet authoritative approach was exactly what was needed to engage all parties to undertake a comprehensive and robust solution which would provide longevity with a mindful awareness of the design aesthetics needed to be maintained. I would definitely recommend Ed and his team.

I have bought and sold residential properties with the help of Sheffords, and just as importantly I have made commercial decisions not to proceed with several projects based on their market knowledge and pragmatic advice. Particular thanks to Ed Treliving. Would highly recommend for transactions in Kent and beyond.

Building survey
Ed and Karen were great with helping us with a building survey for a new property we were looking to buy. Detailed no nonsense report with plenty of pictures! And great summaries which were helpful to shoot off to the solicitor, architect and various other people involved in the project. Karen was also very helpful in locating and sourcing quotes for us for further surveys on the property afterwards. Would definitely recommend Sheffords!

Definitely recommend Sheffords! Great service and very customer focussed. Sheffords gave us advice even pre survey & provided a detailed thorough survey report. They also went back to take a second look at an issue of concern and I very much appreciate their diligent approach.
Jeremy was happy to make himself available to discuss the survey report & implications. He went above & beyond in providing honest & practical advice which was so helpful in planning the next steps. Thank you!

First-floor flat survey
I engaged Sheffords for a 'single defect survey' to assess what measures to take against mould/condensation in my flat.
From the start, communication was great — swift, full and transparent. Jeremy Treliving, who surveyed my flat, was a delight to meet and he offered a wealth of insights, both during his visit and in his follow-up report. He has saved us thousands in our forthcoming renovations. Many thanks Jeremy!
Always a pleasure to recommend good people!

Excellent service from Sheffords
Received an excellent service from Sheffords. The survey (level 3) was conducted quite soon after I had booked and was very thorough with pictures making clear what the issues were with the property that I should be aware of. Would definitely recommend.

All aspects were OK except extent of survey was excessive for what I required for a 1 bed ground floor leasehold flat. I suspect this was to try to justify a high cost.

Reassuringly professional and friendly
I was delighted that I had trusted the reviews and appointed a reassuringly professional and friendly surveyor. The level 3 survey report we received from Ed Treliving was very thorough, clearly written and contained sensible recommendations. Ed happily spent time talking me through all the key points. I would thoroughly recommend Sheffords to anyone wanting to feel in safe hands.

Sheffords provided a Condition Report
Sheffords provided a bespoke report to enable us to understand the condition of the property and any maintenance issues that we were likely to incur.
From the moment we contacted Sheffords, we found them to be professional and practical in their approach. Jeremy was knowledgable and dicussed various aspects of the property during his visit, clarifying points in more detail to help us understand the possible cause, and practical solutions to remedy issues he identified.
We would highly recommend Sheffords, Sevenoaks.
