Customer testimonials
Hill Home Survey did an excellent job with my house survey. The process was carried out very thoroughly and professionally. Everything was explained clearly and in detail, which made me feel confident and informed throughout. I really appreciated the time taken to go over everything carefully. I would definitely recommend Hill Home Survey to anyone needing a reliable and knowledgeable surveyor!
A very big thank you to Matt. I had a Level 2 RICS Survey done and was very happy with the communication and level of information, from Matt, at all points throughout the process. The price was really good value, the report itself was very comprehensive, with photos of areas with defects, a detailed description and a good phone conversation after the report was received to go over any questions or concerns. A very professional and friendly service. Would definitely use his services again, if needed.
Very impressed with the work. It was a thorough survey and the report was quick too. Highly recommended.
Saved us from making a huge mistake! We can’t thank Matthew enough for his incredible attention to detail and professionalism. He quite literally saved us from making a huge mistake—identifying subsidence and several hidden issues in a property we were about to purchase. Thanks to his thorough survey and clear explanation of the risks involved, we walked away in time and avoided what could have been a financial nightmare. Highly recommend Hill Home Survey if you want peace of mind and honest, expert advice! We opted for Level 3, totally worth the money.
I would highly recommend to use Hill Home Survey if you're looking for a high quality of service. Matthew has been exceptionally helpful throughout the process. We have enquired about the survey process, he has provided us with sample of both level 2 and level 3 survey reports for us to get better understanding which one to go for. After survey has been booked, Matthew has kept us updated throughout the process. After we received the survey report back, Matthew took time and been really helpful and answered all the questions and concerns we had about the house.
Worth his weight in gold. Matt has been absolutely incredible with supporting us through our current house purchase. From the very start he’s been so good at making the process as understanding as possible. His survey and service surrounding his report was thorough and extremely valuable, and advice from day one has been helpful and informative. I would highly recommend.
Matt was absolutely brilliant in his reporting. Very detailed and explained everything fully in the report and even does a follow up with a Zoom call. He answered all our questions fully and put our minds at rest with his knowledge. I would thoroughly recommend Matt as your surveyor.
We decided to choose Hill Home Survey after reading the Google reviews and we were not disappointed at all. We were absolutely happy with the service provided to us. Matt was prompt, flexible and professional throughout the process. He also took out time to go through our survey report paragraph by paragraph which helped us understand our report and discuss our concerns. He also provided us with possible solutions for the concerns that were found. Matt is knowledgeable, experienced and detail oriented. As first time buyers, we would highly recommend Hill Home Survey.
Would not hesitate to recommend this company, great communication and took the time to explain everything, pre and post survey. Thanks Matt!
I would definitely recommend, a quick and effective service.
Matt provided us a full and complete survey. He detailed all risks clearly, and made time for good quality communications when required. A good experience at a stressful time. Thanks Matt
Exceptionally quick contact after my initial inquiry and very quick turnaround. The report was very detailed and all questions I had were answered very well in a phone call. Very reassuring and honest service. Highly recommended.
I could not recommend Matt enough. He came out to Northampton to survey a house we’re buying and the report he gave was incredibly detailed but easy to understand, as first time buyers. He then gave us a call to walk us through the major issues and any questions we had. Customer service was great, it only took us a few days to get the incredibly detailed survey report. I would use this company again for my next house purchase.
Really great service from a clearly knowledgeable and experienced surveyor. I would happily recommend Hill Home Survey to anyone. As a first time buyer we got a clear and thorough explanation of the condition on our new home - I'd particularly highly rate Matthew on communication, getting the job done efficiently, and guiding us through the report. Top tier.
We used Hill Home Survey for the purchase on our first home. Being first time buyers we were not sure what to expect but Matt was fantastic at getting all of the initial information to us for instruction and also asking if there were areas of particular concern we would like him to be aware of. Very simple process to pay for the survey of choice and super efficient service with just 5 days between instruction to receiving the report in my inbox!!! Matt then happily discussed the findings and provided useful information for us to make an informed decision. I would highly recommend Hill Home Survey to anyone purchasing a home and would definitely use them again for any future purchases.
I would say how quick and easy the process was for us, how well you explained the process to me and how very quickly you managed to get us in. Fantastic service! I'll definitely recommend you to others and will come to you in the future as well. Many thanks and kind regards.
Great job! Very professional from start to finish, would definitely recommend Hill Home Survey to anyone looking for any of the services they offer. It’s always nice to find someone you can trust who takes pride in their work. Thank you Matthew.
I was very pleased with the prompt, thorough response to my enquiry. The survey was organised very quickly and the report came back highlighting the areas in the property that needed attention and might incur extra cost. The written report was followed up by a telephone conversation to make sure I had the answers to any questions that arisen from reading the report. By the end of the conversation I felt fully informed and felt the money for the survey was well spent.
We chose Hill Home Survey to carry out a survey on our behalf for our potential next home. Matthew Hill was very thorough with the survey and we were very pleased with his politeness, professionalism and knowledge. He made several observations which we missed when carrying out our viewings and proved to be very useful to us when deciding whether to proceed with the sale or not. We would be delighted to recommend his services.
I was recommended Hill Home Survey by the Estate Agents, with whom I bought the house. The service was first class. From initial contact to receiving the report was a week. This was a super quick turnaround and the report I received was very comprehensive. Matt even took the time to have a call after sending the report to explain his findings. This was extremely helpful.
FAQs
Every property will benefit to some degree from having a survey, because being forewarned is forearmed. Choosing the right surveyor in Peterborough will help highlight any serious problems and advise you of the specific risks before you commit to the process of buying or selling a property.
Yes. Whilst you might not be directly responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the building, the cost of any repairs is usually reflected in any service charge payable for the building. A survey might also be able to identify other issues which might not otherwise be disclosed to you.
It’s important to remember that your mortgage lender’s valuation report is not a survey. It merely tells your lender whether or not the property is reasonable security for your loan. An RICS survey will tell you the actual condition of the property. That’s vital information that can be invaluable during price negotiations, and will also help you avoid expensive surprises after you’ve moved in.
The length of the inspection depends on the size and complexity of the house and the level of service chosen. A Level 3 survey naturally has a more in-depth inspection than a Level 1 and homes which are smaller or have no furnishings take less time to inspect than larger properties which are full of furniture. An inspection might typically take two to three hours but this can vary based upon the circumstances.
We aim to provide reports to our clients promptly after the inspection, but the best reports are provided after the surveyor has had a period of reflection to properly consider the property.
Yes. Surveyors are trained to look for a range of defects within the structure of the property. These can range from minor defects which are unlikely to cause any long-term issues if properly remedied to major ongoing structural movement and issues such as dampness or significant timber decay.
If the surveyor identifies any significant structural problems, they will include detailed findings in their survey report. Depending on the severity of the issues, the surveyor may recommend further investigation by a specialist (e.g., a structural engineer). For listed buildings, surveyors also consider the unique challenges and complexities due to their protected status.
Yes. We hold appropriate Professional Indemnity Insurance cover for the work we do and also have Public Liability Insurance cover in case the unexpected happens.
