Building Surveys, Ludlow, L Oatham - November 2022Promptness of response : Within minutes of making an enquiry I had calls and texts and emails from all the Surveyors that came up on this price comparison site. I always look at the reviews for all of them before making any decision. Gold Crest were quick and efficient, when I phoned back they answered quickly and effectively. They were not the cheapest, but were within my cost range.
Quality of service : The surveyor turned up on time, he was very helpful in discussing the issues with the property. Only a tiny criticism that he had not come equipped with sensible shoes so he could go out in the overgrown garden comfortably. I had explained the state of the property to the office, and they should have relayed the need for robust footwear to their surveyor.
Value for money : They survey was efficient, the report came on time and was to point.

Quality of service : Performed detailed inspection and provided detailed report, including warnings to areas that they could not assess.
Value for money : More expensive than other suppliers but definitely worth the price.
Professionalism : Timely, polite, responsive, understands the concerns of home buyers
Homebuyer Survey, Ealing, Chi Y Brian Chiew - August 2022Building Surveys, Glanaman, Carmarthenshire, S Waller - August 2022
Quality of service : One point - when needing clarification on a point from the surveyor, the company claimed that they had requested time and that he was fully booked and could not speak to me until much later in the week. In reality, the surveyor had called me from his mobile, so I rang him directly and he was more than happy to chat for 5 mins to answer my question. Unnecessary bureaucracy, and I'm not even sure the office requested him to speak to me.
Building Surveys, London, V Pletts - August 2022Promptness of response : Got a really quick response which was great
Building Surveys, Horsell, Woking, J Clarke - August 2022Building Surveys, Bramley, Rotherman, G Vine - August 2022
Promptness of response : Although I changed my mind and went for a level up in regard to the home buyer report, I requested this on an email but this email was lost. So I had to ring gold crest again, just to confirm whether this was applied for my requirements. That being said, after it was confirmed, Gold crest were great in regards to keeping me up to date with the survey.
Quality of service : It was a really thorough and detailed report which gave me the confidence to decide whether or not to go ahead with the house purchase.
Homebuyer Survey, Charlestown, Bradford, Alistair - August 2022Promptness of response : Gold Crest responded to the referral on the same day.
Quality of service : I had a bit of trouble with arranging the survey online. I contacted their central offices and spoke with a friendly and professional member of staff who looked into the matter and resolved the issue whilst I was on the phone. It was a breath of fresh air dealing with someone who obviously takes pride in their work in such a friendly and professional manner.
Value for money : I haven't read the survey report but everything has proceeded as set out by the young lady I spoke to as well as the information provided on their site. I received the report today as stated, who could ask for morre.
Building Surveys, Gowerton - Ms Bridge - July 2022Promptness of response : Building Survey carried out by Ryan who was very thorough and pleasant to deal with. Following his recommendations I am pleased to be getting the required work carried out.
Building Surveys, Bromham, Bedford, M White - July 2022Quality of service : Survey was very thorough and as a result I didn't go ahead with purchasing the house.
Building Surveys, Hindley, Wigan, L Prudhoe T- July 2022Promptness of response : The response was immediate but it then took more than a month before the surveyor went to the property. I received emails telling me the vendors couldn't agree to a date although the vendors estate agent was incredibly helpful at arranging visits at short notice. We were disappointed as Goldcrest said on their website, they were now taking bookings for 2 weeks ahead.
Quality of service : It took another full week and nagging phone calls to finally get the survey at 7.30pm on the latest day Goldcrest gave us. However the survey was excellent, detailed and helpful. We had to make an appointment (2 more days …) to speak to the surveyor. But when we did, she was great. As a result of her careful report and photos, we have a clear idea of the expense which will be involved in carrying out repairs.
Professionalism : The surveyor herself was professional but the delays in booking and delivery of the survey were disappointing.

Building Surveys, Sevenoaks, Kent, K Eaton - November 2020
Homebuyer Survey, Stafford, B KINNERSLEY - November 2020
Promptness of response : V quick follow-up to offer appointment after I requested quotes for surveys
Quality of service : I understand surveyors are following guidance when they draw attention that services to a property need a check by qualified person but it wasn't clear on the report. It was marked as needing urgent attention which resulted in me generating an enquiry to ask why marked as urgent but no details in report to explain. It would only have taken one short sentence. Clarity is essential and would reduce time wasted
Value for money : Rapid booking of survey and quick turnaround for report. Slightly let down by some points in survey not being very clear.
Professionalism : Rang in with enquiry but instead of operator taking down details and forwarding on to correct person, I was asked to email in. I did email but got no response. I was contacted a few days later by someone checking if I'd received the report so I asked her about a reply to my enquiry. She said she had forwarded my query on that day but didn't mention if it had already been forwarded when I first emailed in. A few days later I emailed to check if someone was going to get back to me. The previous time I'd used this service the customer service and follow up was excellent but this time was just about satisfactory

Value for money : According to internet searches, the price was very competitive and the report itself, very detailed.
Professionalism : We were only in contact via email, at my request but all correspondence was professional and informative. I particularly liked the mock report that was initially sent out so that I knew what to expect from my actual survey report.

Building Surveys, Tunbridge Wells, R Chenery - October 2020Promptness of response : They responded quickly on email, however I was never able to get through to them over the phone, so I suggest getting in touch over email.

Building Surveys, London, Ellen - October 2020Promptness of response : Goldcrest had the best availability at a busy time and were very prompt in following up with me after my initial quotes. The report came back within a week as promised and was very thorough.
Quality of service : We were very impressed with the sample survey Goldcrest provided when we were reviewing our decision. We were buying a house in need of much work and were looking for a report which would include clear estimated costs and Gold Crest came through, costing all issues and providing a clear summary and total estimate for all works at the end of the survey. Our surveyor Alan Bolton was local to the area, and spent over 4 hours at the property. We were incredibly impressed with the thoroughness and attention to detail offered, and after following up with further surveys that he recommended have uncovered a number of issues we would never have found ourselves. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a full building survey as part of a property purchase.
Value for money : We went with Gold Crest as they offered the most competitive rates but also because they offered the strongest sample survey based on providing estimates of costs for work.
Professionalism : Both Goldcrest and the local surveyor we worked with were professional and knowledgeable. We were incredibly impressed with the thoroughness and attention to detail offered

Quality of service : The report was sufficient. However, I was disappointed with the inability of the surveyor to call me after the survey for a 5-minute call to establish whether there were any concerns at a high level. The call was cancelled three times and eventually never took place. I was forced to make a complaint. Whenever I have had surveys in the past, the surveyor makes a point of calling to provide the highs/lows of the survey prior to the report being sent out. I was particularly disappointed that the surveyor was unable to do this in my case.
Value for money : The price of the survey was not overly expensive. However, the level of personal service was less than I expect.
Professionalism : No additional comments.

For an older property or one with known structural issues, it may make sense to select a more local but expensive firm.

Home Condition Surveys, London, L Mitchell-Alleyne - September 2019
Building Surveys, Birmingham, Kyle - September 2019
Quality of service : It took a week for the survey report to come through. The report was vague, the valuation was exactly the price we agreed with the seller, this leads me to believe that this process is 'play it safe' from the surveyor.
Survey, London, Z Hussain - September 2019Their quote was reasonable and they promptly contacted me to confirm the quote and to schedule a date and time for the survey. Although they missed out a small segment on their first visit to the property, this was completed at a second visit, and a supplementary report produced with no additional charge.
Building Surveys, Northolt, Gabriel - September 2019Building Surveys, London, Elise - September 2019
Building Surveys, Birstall, Prakash - September 2019
Promptness of response : Took a week to get someone booked in and a further week to get the report
Quality of service : So many caveats the report was fairly useless. Didn't look at drains as cover too heavy, didn't inspect the roof off the floor due to H&S, didn't look behind furniture, didn't go in roof spaces, can't say whether walls are load bearing or stud. When asked specific questions it was basically "I can't give you more info, you need an expert for that"
Value for money : Would not spend £600 on a survey with such limited validity. If we had had the house cleared of furniture and carpets I doubt it would have been any different. We paid for the more expensive report rather than cheap homebuyers and very disappointed with the depth of report - much of it cut and paste, poor grammar etc
Professionalism : Hid behind standard phrases rather than answering the question

Building Surveys. A Choudhury, Romford, August 2019.Building Surveys. A Rae, Nottingham, August 2019.
Quality of service : Thank you to this surveyor their in-depth report allowed us to identify that the house we were going to purchase was of non-standardised construction. As a result this provided information to enable us to make a decision that the property was not worth investment.
Value for money : Very in-depth report for both parts in disrepair and in good condition.
Building Surveys. L Setchell, Swindon, July 2019.Promptness of response : Very prompt response.
Quality of service : The service was very professional, met all requirements and was well executed

Building Surveys. H.Scott, Leicester, July 2019.Promptness of response : One of the first providers to respond
Quality of service : Really thorough survey (though I've never had one before to compare). Would have been very useful if I had been in a position to negotiate and wonder if it is a bit alarming (lots of red!) on purpose to achieve that end. I haven't had a chance to get any of the recommended work done (still int he process of buying the house!) so not sure how accurate the quotes provided will be, but the work mentioned all seems in line with other research so am confident it is correct.
Value for money : Definitely the cheapest option and by half in some cases. I was really using it as a buy or not buy exercise rather than wanting nuanced details, but this survey exceeded my expectations.
Professionalism : I did not meet the surveyor but I know he was accompanied by the vendor and they have made no comments or complaints. The report is very professional.
Building Surveys. N Widdess, High Wycombe, July 2019.The website provided quotations and follow up that was highly professional. Gold Crest offered a very good service that was comprehensive.
Building Survey, Ascot, Berkshire, F.Connolly - July 2019Homebuyer Survey, London, T Kovacheva - July 2019
Promptness of response : Able to book and pay for survey quickly- Very professional helpful staff on phone when spoken to.
Quality of service : I had a full structural survey done on a 3 bed terraced property which I believed was ready to move in and decorate. Survey revealed major structural faults with the walls, roof plus other internal defects which estimated costs to rectify would be approx £40,000. Survey was very detailed and used a traffic light system to highlight the seriousness of any issues raised, mine coming up mainly red!!! Needless to say with this information I pulled out of the purchase of the house with immediate effect saving me much money, time and heartbreak in the long run.
Value for money : Best £347 I have ever spent as it saved me between £20,000- £40,000 in repairs to a house I was going to buy.
Building Surveys, Carlton, Notthingham, M Littlewood - July 2019Promptness of response : Need to wait for a couple of weeks but that is down to their availability

Quality of service : We were mostly happy with the report but found that on a lot of sections it didn't go into much detail and recommended another professional's report. While this is useful, I expected that by getting the most detailed report we would receive this kind of information. We compared our building survey with the home buyers report the current owners had done and there was hardly any difference in detail for the additional cost.

Building Surveys, Reading - Mr Holliday, Aug 2018
Building Surveys, Uffington, Wiltshire, Andy - September 2018
Quality of service : The building survey was carried out promptly and the report arrived within 4 weeks. The report itself was not structured and written in such a way that a non-expert customer can easily understand what the results of the survey. For example, the report talked of only front and rear elevations, whereas customers talk of front, back and side of houses. Some items are visible from both front and rear elevations, so applicability findings were not clear. Some repairs were suggested without identifying the reason for the repair. That said, Goldcrest did respond to my follow-up requests for clarification by email. Overall the report took much more effort to understand than I would expect, given the target audience.
Value for money : For the price I would expect a report written in plain English, not jargon.

Quality of service : The Survey we received was well written, structured, balanced and drew our attention to the required areas. It provided information we were not aware of and guidance which we followed. This guidance paid for the survey many times over.
Value for money : The survey was better value for money than the bank offering - it was less expensive and more comprehensive. And, as above the recommendation enabled and validated a re-negotiation more than paying for itself.
Professionalism : Courteous, efficient and timely in all dealings I had with them. Great service and will absolutely recommend to others.

Building Surveys, Oulton, Norfolk, Ibrahim February 2018Promptness of response : Contacted within a day to arrange survey by a very polite and professional member of staff.
Quality of service : Fourty four page report provided much more than I expected. Detail was clear and easy to anylize and highlighted faults found by the surveyor. It gave me a rapid summary of all the problems and also a rough cost to put things right if I buy the property. This also gives an instant recommendation to the seriousness of any issues, so providing a tool to renegotiate the asking price.
Value for money : First class result with the added value of photographic evidence of faults found on top of the written report. I am very pleased with the cost and would advise anyone to use Gold Creat before paying out more to others who do not know what to charge.
Professionalism : Highly professional service that I would use again without any doubt.

Building Surveys, Grantham, Mrs Powell - November 2017Building Surveys, Winchester, Daniel - November 2017
Promptness of response : The surveyors were very prompt in arranging an appointment. The survey was delayed but only because the vendors went on holiday and did not leave a key. I do not believe that the surveyors could have been any more prompt in arranging the survey.
Quality of service : The report did raise a couple of issues that I had not thought of and also highlighted two jobs which will need to be done at some time in the future.
Value for money : I thought the cost of the report was very reasonable given the depth of the inspection.
Professionalism : Very helpful and polite. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company. I was very pleased with their work. Thank you.

Building Survey, Egham, Surrey, Mrs Dewan - July 2017.Promptness of response :
Quality of service : Inaccurate information such as price of property makes the report questionable and unreliable. Wrong information about important things such as boiler location and structure of the building. Shamble!!
Value for money : Inaccurate information in several parts of the documents. We had to pay for another service from another provider to authenticate information provided on the report.
Professionalism : When we asked for clarifications on the information provided, we were snubbed off rudely. There was no apologies for blatantly proving wrong information on a very important document that will help us in deciding if we want to go ahead with the property or pull out. There were discrepancies on the document that showed that it was rushed and parts of it were 'copied and pasted' or/and edited from another property. Very disappointed and disgusted to say the least! Response from Ben Naylor of Gold Crest Chartered Surveyors. After looking into this complaint and speaking to all parties, we considered it appropriate in this case to offer a full refund as there were errors in the report. Please let us reassure all our clients, that significant errors will be compensated for. Please also let us assure everyone, that the Surveyor who carried out this particular report is no longer working for us and we have a new Professional, who is very experienced, courteous and pays extra special attention to detail.

Homebuyer Survey, Oswestry, Shropshire, Anita - July 2016Professionalism : I had cause to complain because the surveyor gave verbal feedback to the vendor to the effect that the property was in better than average condition, although £1000 of repairs were identified. This stiffened the resolve of the vendor to resist my request for a price reduction when I followed up with her. I maintained that survey results should have been kept confidential, given the not inconsiderable fee paid and that the feedback was unprofessional. I initially received a brush off, then an apology and on the third email exchange compensation of £50. Even so, I would not use this company again.

Homebuyer Survey. Ciaran, Chichester. May 2016.Promptness of response :
Quality of service : The only reason I wanted the survey was to establish (a) whether or not load bearing walls had been removed from the property and (b) if so, whether that work had been done in a way which was in compliance with Building Regulations, notwithstanding that no Building Regs Approval had been provided. The survey addressed (a) but not (b). I was told that I would have to pay for another survey in order to answer (b) because a structural engineer would need to make the assessment. This is ridiculous. I only wanted the survey to establish (a) and (b) and made this clear by email. If I was going to need two separate surveys for (a) and (b), they should have told me and of course I would then have chosen another provider.
Value for money : It has now turned out very expensive indeed, since I have paid the money but still do not have what I need. For that I will need to instruct another surveyor. I am furious.
Professionalism : They should have told me that what I was buying was not what I needed.
