Lee Preston recently carried out a review of works following a full house refurbishment .

Lee was incredibly diligent and thorough. He identified a number of issues (some urgent) which were subsequently rectified by the contractors. I am absolutely delighted with the outcome.

I would highly recommend Lee (SouthWest Surveyors) and will definitely be using their services in the future.

We’ve used Domestic Services twice now for level 3 surveys over the past year, and both times have been genuinely brilliant experiences. Our surveyor, Lee Preston, has been fantastic - really detailed, professional, and easy to talk to.

From booking the survey to the aftercare, the whole process has been smooth and stress-free. Couple things that stood out, turnaround time for the report despite the level of detail and the Zoom call after the survey, where Lee took the time to walk us through the report, explain any areas of concern in plain English, and offer advice on what to look out for going forward. It made a huge difference having that personal touch rather than just reading through a report on our own.

Unfortunately, both properties ended up falling through for reasons beyond our control, but we wouldn’t hesitate to use Domestic Services again for our next purchase. They've made what can be a really stressful part of buying a house feel much more manageable in the sense that you have absolute clarity on what you're walking into.

Honestly, absolutely worth every penny - we can’t recommend them enough!

Booking was straightforward and price good value.

The level 3 survey was excellent. We especially appreciated the time Lee took to explain the report in detail during a video call.

Thank you so much for all your help we would not hesitate to recommend you to others!

I had a Level 3 property survey. Lee Preston, the Surveyor was absolutely brilliant. He produced a very detailed report with clear recommendations.

Lee offered a zoom or telephone option to discuss the report and I had several conversations with him during the conveyancing process. Lee was extremely helpful, providing advice and support during what was an incredibly stressful time.

I would highly recommend this company and Lee in particular and would certainly use them again in the future.

Lee recently carried out a level 3 survey, and his help has been invaluable. I've been impressed by the quality and rigour of his work (easily laid out in a 95 page report), and would definitely use his services again.

As a first time buyer, the call to talk through the report and any other questions was particularly useful. Lee took the time to walk through what he would/wouldn't immediately worry about, what temporary fixes might be available, the expected time and cost of making the fixes good, and also what I may be able to do myself. I feel incredibly well informed, and really valued him doing this.

We are very pleased by the service provided by South West Surveyor's for a level 2 survey on our new house in Bristol, which we booked through Domestic Surveys. Lee did a very thorough job looking over the property and providing us comprehensive information about the condition of the house, including lots of photos, and Martin of Domestic Surveys did a great job organizing the survey and responding promptly and efficiently to all our emails. Would definitely recommend!

We were purchasing a 1980s build house as a downsize and had Lee perform a level 3 survey for us. We were somewhat suspicious about why a previous buyer walked away so wanted a proper job done. And Lee really delivered. I come from a family who work in construction and although I do not do this myself am pretty knowledgable in some areas. I thought the over 80 page report was clear (it had one small minor mistake but none of us are perfect!) and it very much helped our decision to proceed and also helped us negiotiate the price down a few thousand. Also I feel I know everything there is to know about the house I will live in for the forseeable future. I heartily recommend Lee to you.

Martin was very professional in his interactions with us and was also very quick to reply to queries we had. This ensured we were in the loop at all stages of the planning process. The survey was performed by Lee who produced a comprehensive report that was easy for us to understand. He also took the time out of business hours to talk us through the key findings. We were extremely well catered for throughout the whole process and I would 100% recommend SWS.

Had a good experience, Lee did a level 3 survey for us recently and it was very thorough and the report was clear to understand. There was a follow up meeting after for me to ask any questions, although thankfully the house was in good condition so I didn't need to ask much. But I appreciate that the meeting is an option as these things can be very overwhelming.

Would definitely recommend.

This firm provided us with a Level 3 survey - was carried out by a very professional surveyor specialised in period properties. We received a very detailed report from them and we especially appreciated the online consultation with the surveyor.

Lee Preston with Domestic Surveys did a fantastic and thorough job of our survey. The report was sent to us within 48 hours of the survey being done, with a follow up zoom call to discuss it in detail and answer any questions the following week. Lee was great at explaining everything to us and advising what would need to be done to the property, and was happy to do follow up emails with any questions we had. Would highly recommend Domestic Surveys to anyone buying a property for the first time, and feeling like they may need extra support with a through survey to make the purchase as stress free as possible.

We had a very good experience both with arranging the survey through Martin, and with our surveyor Lee. The survey was very thorough and balanced, and the meeting afterward very useful to discuss the important issues that came up and think about how they may be rectified in future. We didn't feel rushed at all and know if we had more questions Lee would be happy to respond. Thanks very much.

I have found these surveyors to be the some of the most helpful people during my purchasing experience. Lee and Martin have given me a lot of valuable advice and I have often turned to them with questions when I have not been sure who to ask. They have both been incredibly generous with their time which I can appreciate given how busy they are.
Definitely great value for money. The survey itself has also been very thorough.
