Report
Chawton Hill were great! They provided a prompt and well communicated service. From start to finish we have had an amazing experience. Our surveyor was very thorough on the day and was willing for us to contact him if we needed to ask him any further questions afterwards. I would definitely recommend using them.

Report
Chawton Hill provided great value for money and were able to organize a very comprehensive structural survey. Thank you to Steve Holmes for providing a thorough report on the house, which was invaluable in our purchase, and taking as much time as we needed to do the walk through. We really appreciated Susan and Emma in helping us coordinate the dates and get the survey done in a timely manner. Thank you to all - cannot recommend highly enough.
