Company details

  1. Chartered Surveyor

Written by the company

We are the largest regional practice of Chartered Surveyors. With five full time Chartered Surveyors, two highly regarded specialist consultants and a team of five in administration. Many surveyors work alone. Our surveyors have instead chosen to be part of a team because we know the value of specialisation and a constant exchange of professional views. We are believers in Life-Long Learning and meet twice a month to share information on values, changes in the law, new building techniques and materials. This is a very real difference that we pass on in our survey reports to our clients. We are regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors. If your survey includes a valuation, this will be done by a Registered Valuer. Range of services Our surveyors are predominantly BUILDING SURVEYORS and residential PROPERTY VALUERS. Much of our daily work is Residential Property either diagnosing defects, advising buyers with House and Flat Purchase Surveys and Valuations or property undergoing major refurbishment or building work. We also have a range of services for Commercial Property, including Schedules, specifications, special Condition Reports and of course full Building Surveys.

Good overall experience

Responded to e mails, helpful when faced with a deadline. Surveyor explained what he was doing and the conclusions that he reached. Report sent within the time expected. Overall a good experience.

Very positive experience with Woodward Chartered Surveyors- I would recommend this company. My surveyor was Adam Stimpson
House Purchase Survey Level 2- it was detailed with photos included of the problem areas and a summary at the end - easy to follow and definitely useful.

Kate Farrar from Woodward Chartered…

Kate Farrar from Woodward Chartered Surveyors inspected damp patches in our home and was extremely thorough. Because she couldn’t pinpoint the exact cause of the damp, she refunded the full fee and gave us helpful advice on the next steps. Exceptional honesty and professionalism – highly recommended!

This was by far the most reasonable quote I got. They were quick to respond to all correspondence and even helped me out with getting a survey sooner than they initially could. I was happy with the report I would recommend.

The survey was undertaken and the report sent out to me exactly to the promised time scales. However, in the interim week, the surveyor was happy to talk to me by phone to discuss the main issues discovered. The full report was detailed, clear and incredibly useful. Thoroughly recommend.

Very comprehensive report

Very comprehensive report
Clearly set out documentation
Excellent communication with the ladies I spoke to in the office. Went out of their way to be helpful when I asked if the report could possibly be hurried along.

Level 3 Building Survey

Received a very detailed level 3 building survey. Following this, I decided to no longer proceed with the purchase of the property.

Only negative thing I will say about Woodwards is that I had to chase them for the report as they had gone past the promised time frame and never bothered to inform me that it was going to be late.

Despite their lack of communication, I will say it was money well spent.

Professional, Thorough, Detalled Survery, Excellent experience

We had an excellent experience working with Douglas at Woodward Chartered Surveyors. The experience was smooth from the start of the booking process with Emma. She provided a very polite, patient and thorough service. She took the time to understand my requirements and provide clear information about the process. Important for a novice first time buyer like me.

Once the Level 3 survey was completed, The report from Douglas was very thorough, detailed and easy to follow. He also provided an additional scheduled call to talk us through any points that were misunderstood.

I would definitely work with Woodward Chartered Surveyors again, we had a fantastic experience.

House Purchase Survey Level 2

House Purchase Survey Level 2. I and members of my family have used Woodward surveyors several times for good reason; they are simply the best. The report they generate from the property inspection is informative, clearly written, with photographs, and comprehensive. Because the company is so popular I had to wait about one month from commision to actual inspection but the final report was worth the wait.
