Reviews from our satisfied clients

We are still at present in negotiations for the buying of the church. Unfortunately the vendor is very stubborn and they actually think they have a Rolls Royce when what they actually have is an Old Banger. We met the Surveyor at the property who asked us to explain what we wanted certain areas to be for and the report was then completely structured around us, advising this part of the building can be used for a, b and c but not d, e and f etc. We feel meeting the  Surveyor at the property was invaluable and whilst with him he gave advice on fire exits and the legalities of certain aspects of the process. Without the expert opinions and advice of your Chartered Surveyor we would probably be in a very different position. We felt the report was easy to understand with not to many technical terms used although if these were used they were properly explained. A star of a surveyor whose opinions we cannot value enough and apart from all of that he is always on hand to lend more advice when we need it. 

 A happy client with our church building survey which invaluable in making their decision

We instructed 1stAssociated to survey an auction property which is Mid Victorian Chapel. The Chapel was in a residential area and we had ideas for an artist studio and making changes to the existing kitchen and also adding a bathroom. It was very helpful to receive an example survey before we instructed. This gave us a good idea of what would be included in the report. The surveyor was very helpful and provided us with lots of professional advice. I particularly found the good, bad and ugly part of the report very useful. I would definitely recommend your services.

As well as surveying the Church for us 1stAssociated also surveyed this church hall close by. They recommended we get engineers in to establish if we could change the way the hall is being used to accommodate more people. The survey was very helpful. We are going ahead with the purchase but want to get the contracts exchanged and we will then look at possible engineer options.

1stAssociated surveyed this early Victorian era (1837 - 1901) stone built church for us. This is a United Reformed Church which is Grade ll listed and measures 296 m sq/3186 sq ft. The church has a substantial tower and there is a surrounding car park and a church hall close by which they also surveyed for us. The church has been empty for some time and has had features removed such as the organ. There had been substantial repairs to the very large roofs. The surveyor highlighted some historic design defects and problems.

  Mr Mark Paton, Leicester - I contacted 1stAssociated as they specialise in Church Surveys. I was sent an example survey initially and once I decided to instruct them the whole process was very easy. I really rated the surveyor. He was so very knowledgeable and a lovely chap. The survey only happened a few days ago and already I have a draft report which I am looking forward to reading over the weekend. A great service so far.

  AR, Ilford, London - happy client who could make an informed decision after meeting our surveyor at the church and receiving a structural survey

I had originally instructed another surveying company to survey the property but when the surveyor turned up at the property he admitted that he was not used to surveying commercial properties and was therefore not comfortable doing the survey for me. I then spoke to churchsurveyor.co.uk who sent me through examples of their work which gave me confidence that they knew about commercial properties.  The surveyor from churchsurveyor.co.uk met me at the property when he was carrying out the survey which was very useful. They completed the survey report well within my timescale and I found it to be very thorough and clear, explained in plain English.
