Sage Chartered Surveyors

The quality and depth of the L3 full building survey report I received from Sage Chartered Surveyors was outstanding. Great attention had been paid to every single aspect of the property, both internal and external, including the grounds and I found the multitude of photos, all of which contained a link to enable me to view a larger version and zoom in to see detail extremely helpful. Importantly, valuable opinions were offered on the condition of the property throughout the report and I was impressed by the notable lack of ‘it is beyond our remit to comment’ which has been a feature of other surveys from other companies I have used in recent years. Having read this extremely comprehensive report, I am confident I know a great deal about the true condition of the property I am about to buy and have been given an honest and thorough appraisal which gives me the confidence to proceed. All communication from Sage has been excellent. Emails have been answered immediately and my quote came through within a few minutes of having made an email enquiry. It was extremely competitive. I asked for an example for a L3 survey from each of the companies I got quotes from and Sage Surveyors was to my mind the most detailed and direct which encouraged me to select the company. I am so glad that I did. They were able to carry out my survey within a week and received the report the same day the survey was carried out, having also received a phone call from Gary as he was leaving the property, during which he gave me a verbal summary. I cannot recommend this company highly enough and of the three surveyors I have used in recent years, Sage are in a different league.

Gary was very helpful from start to finish. He talked me through the choice of survey options and took time to explain this all clearly to me. He dealt with the estate agents direct and it was all very straightforward. I had a level 3 survey done as I felt I needed a thorough check up of the property I was buying as it was Grade 2 listed and an old building. The survey was done on the day as planned and I was sent the report very quickly. I was extremely impressed with the depth he went into on the survey and all I can say is this was 100% worth it and important when making a purchase of this size. Gary was happy to discuss the report and queries I had on the phone and we did this a couple of days after I had read the survey. I negotiated £2k off my offer price due to issues identified from the survey, and I now have a clear list of what to work through when I move in and what’s most important to get sorted first. Overall, very impressed, great communication and a thorough and robust professional survey. Highly recommended.

I was very pleased with the quality of the report given for the home survey. (15/07/24). It was clear and concise and sent on time. Gary & Hannah were accommodating and answered all queries directed to them. I wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again. Thank you both. Rosetta Robbins

Sage were recommended to us by friends who recently used their services for a survey. We chose a level 2 report as the property we were hoping to buy was a comparatively recent build. Gary who carried out the survey rang us beforehand to see if we had concerns we wished him to pay particular attention to before carrying out an exhaustive review of the property with loads of pictures. Honestly we couldn’t have wished for a better report and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sage (who is Gary) to anyone buying a property and require at whatever level a thorough report.

Gary provided good examples of the different survey levels so I could make an informed decision on which one best suited my needs. He phoned me both before and after the survey to discuss it and answered all my questions. The service was fantastic and the turn around was very prompt indeed. I’d highly recommend.

Fantastic and professional service. Sage is recommended to us from our Real estate agency and glad that they recommended them to us. They handle the appointment to visit the house quite efficiently. They were also really fast and we were able to set up a survey within a week. Gary called us before the survey and explained the procedure and asked if we have any specific concerns about the house. The report is received the same day. Gary also called us and explain us everything in a really nice language. We used a level 3 report and it was completely worth it. I would recommend them to anyone who is planning to buy a house and especially first time buyers like us who are not familiar with surveys. Gary was really polite and helpful. Perfect service.
