I used Frasers for a home ownership sale. Quite honestly the rudest customer service I have ever experienced from the admin staff, making the stress of a house sale even worse.

Report
Matthew carried out a building survey on our 3bed semi detached house. It was our first property so we were cautious about the purchase but Matthew provided a detailed report and was very patient and professional at answering our questions where we could not understand some of the complex matters relating to the state of the property. I would highly recommend Frazers Surveyors for their excellent communication and expertise and I will be using them in the future. Thank you.

Report
Excellent service, fast response and great experience. I was really impressed by the service provided from start to finish. The agent gave me a call to arrange the visit, she was really flexible and she managed to book the visit when I was less busy at work. The surveyor was a guy called Salvatore, he was really friendly and professional. He made sure all the COVID 19 standard operating procedures were followed and he took the time to explain the whole process in details.
At the end he also took time to answer all my questions which I really appreciated. The valuation was done within the window and the valuation report was provided to me within 2 working days. Highly recommend. Thank you!

We used Frazers surveyors for a home buyers survey on a property that we are buying. All the staff interactions right the way from initial contact through the provision of the report were professional and efficient. Matthew did a great job for a competitive price and we will definitely use him and the firm for all our surveying needs in the future.

An absolute pleasure to deal with, totally professional and reliable service cannot fault. Both Salvatore my assigned surveyor and Jenny in the office are the most helpful. Their customer service and expertise cannot be praised highly enough - exceptional!
