Jonathan,
Many thanks for the report and conducting the survey.
Very happy with the service and will be recommending yourself
Kind regards
Hello Jonathan
I hope you are well.
You may recall you did a survey on our (now current) home back in September, and also on the property we subsequently sold. We were obviously happy with your service, and your honesty, which is why I’m contacting you again.
Jonathan
Many thanks for preparing the home buyers report. As I’m sure you can appreciate the reassurance of the report certainly helps in my purchase.
I have a number of contacts who are in a similar position and with your permission I would be happy to pass on your details. Should you have any business cards please feel free to forward on a couple and I will pass them on as appropriate.
Thanks once again.
Hi Jonathon,
Thanks very much for the comprehensive and speedy report. Once I have properly read it in detail I will let you know if I have any further questions.
We are extremely satisfied with your services – and if there is any particular method/location (emailed to you, google review etc) that you prefer reviews to be left we would be very happy to provide you with very positive feedback.
Best regards,
Jonathan provided an excellent detailed report. We were very pleased with the service.
Hi Jonathan
First of all thank you for the report – which we have now digested a little. We really appreciate the quality of the report, the way it provides a balanced perspective and of course your overall service – we really have been impressed and would be happy to endorse you to others.

Hi Jonathan
Thank you so much for this. We are impressed with the extent, clarity and speed of your report . We are also delighted by what appears to be a fairly healthy house!
Payment will be arranged by direct bank transfer tomorrow (15th).
I may call you later in the week to discuss briefly one or two points, if that is ok.
Thanks again
Hi Jonathan
Just to let you know that we have ended up agreeing a reduced purchase price of £282,500 with the vendors / agent, so an improvement of £7,500 against Sam’s original offer. Your report and valuation provided a very useful aid to the renegotiation, so thank you once again for your support and input.

Hi, just wanted to say thank you for a very efficient service. You provided an easy to understand and comprehensive survey all complete and returned within a week of arranging an appointment.
Hi,
I placed an order with Bevan Surveyors Limited. Excellent service. Mr Bevan carried out the survey within two working days of me instructing him & the report was ready in another 2 days. One of the problems I heard about surveyors is that the post survey service / responding to questions & concerns on the report is very poor, particularly after they have received their fees. But this is not the case with Mr Bevan. I left him a message that I needed to discuss some of the findings in his report & he called me back within half an hour to discuss in detail for the next 15-20 mins and clarified all my doubts. Complete peace of mind!!
Regards
Dear Sirs,
I chose Bevan Surveyors Ltd because having completed the quotation request form on your website Mr Bevan responded immediately and the fee provided was very competitive. He was able to undertake the survey for me the very next day.
A first class service.
Many Thanks
Hi Jonathan,
Many thanks for your speedy completion of my HomeBuyers Report which I received Thursday morning. All looks straightforward with no significant points of concern.
Kind regards
Bevan Surveyors were actually the first to contact me, on a Sunday too. After discussions regarding pricing structures I directed his company to act for me. I had one other contact 3 days after my initial enquiry which I politely declined.
I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to others.
Regards
