A highly thought of Surveyor

In all my dealings with David I have found him to be a thoroughly decent and approachable person. My Barrister has described the most recent report we commissioned as "comprehensive, detailed and very profesional" I have no hesitation in recommending him to you he will not disappoint.

I can't recommend David enough!

5
My partner and I are first time buyers and are relocating to the North East from the south (just a mere 230 miles). Although we had seen the property we wanted to make sure we got an experienced surveyor. I had done some research on who to potentially go with, David's reviews speak for themselves and I am glad that I proceeded with David.

His report is very thorough, we paid for a level 2 survey and have not been disappointed with the detail (including photos) of the areas discussed. David was quick to reach out from our enquiry and then it took a bit of time to liaise with the seller and estate agent to get a date that suited so David could go and inspect the place. Now the report is very thorough so you have to be patient as he will be juggling a number of clients at the same time I'm sure, but it is worth the wait!

Level 2 house survey

4
We used this service when purchasing our first home. We had a level 2 survey and the price was competitive. The report was thorough and exactly what we wanted. We received the report back quickly. I have rated 4 stars, one downside was the communication prior to having the survey done, I feel this could be improved however I understand this may be difficult in busy periods. Overall very happy with the service provided.

Hi Lucy, Many thanks for leaving a review and commenting on the service provided. They are very much appreciated. I apologise that the communication prior to the inspection did not meet your standard. The main issue with getting this booked in and providing updates to you was the lack of communication from the agents with them being based in Colchester rather than the northeast. I rang the agents a number of times and because I had to go through the main office, they weren't aware of the property and I had to wait for the agent dealing with this property to come back to me. As a result this took a little bit longer than usual to get any movement on arranging the survey with the seller. I wish you all the best with the purchase of the property and if I can be of any further help, please do not hesitate to get in touch. I am always happy to help where I can. Kind regards, David Straughan

Professional Snagger

5
I decided to use Eriss services because they are independent of any building companies.
The snagging survey was carried out very professionally and a report was provided for me to submit to the builder of my new property.
David was was very punctual and very professional, and done a fantastic job identifying faults within my new property. There were a lot more snags than I originally thought and he identified faults I wouldn't have saw myself. That would have been costly for me in the future.
A report was produced for me to present to my builder and David supported me along the way giving excellent advice and attended a meeting I had with the builder to discuss the faults. The support was first class.
I highly recommend Eriss property consultants and would definitely use this company again in the future if the need arose. Its great to find a company that is independent of any new building companies.

Testimonials

Image of Eriss Property Consultants
Eriss were recommended to us through our solicitors when buying our very first house and we’re very glad we chose to go with their recommendation. Despite the builders being less than cooperative, David was patient and helped explain issues to us that as first time buyers we had no idea about! One of the only parts of our home buying process that was a breeze. Would definitely be returning customers in future should we move home again.

would highly recommend their services!

David did an excellent job with great communication and professionalism throughout. As a first time buyer, David took the time to answer my many questions and give information in a clear way. He helped me understand the levels of home buyers reports so that I could make the most appropriate choice. The report written report was detailed and clear to follow. I chose Eriss Property Consultants based on the 5 star reviews and my first phone call with David. I’m so pleased I did..!

This gave us great peace of mind when going through with the sale

David at Eriss conducted a full RICS Level 3 building survey on a house before we put an offer in. This was critical to us to make sure what we knew what we were taking on, as the house was in major need of refurbishment and modernisation. His final report was incredibly in-depth on every aspect of the property from top to bottom... David also conducted a smaller survey on the property we were selling. Excellent communication throughout the whole process. I have no hesitation in recommending...
