Absolutely brilliant service. Martin went out of his way to arrange a time where Lee could access the roof to do a full survey. We then found Lees survey incredibly detailed and useful. He also offers some time to review it over video after which again was brilliant. I have used Domestic Surveys for two property purchases now and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

I recently had a Level 3 property survey carried out by Lee Preston and was extremely impressed with the service provided. The report was detailed, clear, and included practical recommendations. Lee was professional and knowledgeable throughout. I would highly recommend both Lee and the company and would certainly use them again.

This is the second time I've used Domestic Surveys/South West Surveyors and I can't recommend them highly enough. Lee produced an excellent, detailed report for me that was easy to understand. His communication was fantastic throughout, and he was more than happy to answer any questions I had. The fees were also very reasonable. I'll absolutely be using them again in future.

This was my first house survey and as far as I can tell, Lee was thorough and efficient. The report was clear, informative and detailed, but simple enough to understand. We also had a follow up call with Lee who was super friendly, good at clarifying any points and answering our questions. Good price compared to others in the market and was available sooner too. Thanks!

A fantastic service from start to finish for a RICS level 3 survey. Initially reluctantly to use due to long waiting time for a survey date and slightly higher cost, but the end result was worth in what we would consider a premium surveying service. The output was a very comprehensive and detailed survey report which was briefed to us to ensure we understood all elements of the findings.

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.

Lee was absolutely brilliant, such an excellent amount of detail provided for each issue identified with the solution on how to rectify. Consideration was also given to local amenities, transport, and broadband so above and beyond what was expected.

Lee's expertise and dedication to his work were evident throughout the process, making us feel confident and well-informed. We highly recommend Lee Preston for anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable house surveyor in the Bristol area.

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.

Lee demonstrated a high level of professionalism throughout the Level 3 survey. He was punctual, courteous, and attentive to detail, ensuring that no aspect of the property was overlooked. He utilized advanced tools and techniques to identify potential issues such as dampness, roofing problems, and safety hazards, providing us with accurate and actionable recommendations for addressing them.
Overall, Lee delivered exceptional service as a Level 3 home surveyor. His professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail were instrumental in helping us make informed decisions about our property. We would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable surveyor for their property assessment needs.

South West Surveyors were a pleasure to deal with, with excellent customer service and ease of organising the survey. Lee was very helpful and produced a detailed, well written and informative report. Their services were recommended to me by a friend and I would happily do the same and recommend them to others!

Lee provided a fantastic service for us. His Level 3 survey of the property we were purchasing was thorough, and his findings were presented clearly and professionally.

The follow-up call to talk through the report was really valuable as well, giving us a sanity check where we needed it, and really great advice on next steps for works, where we may be able to renegotiate on price, as well as some helpful costings for the suggested works.

Highly recommended!

Straightforward and friendly to deal with. Open and honest. Explained in detail what I would get from the report and what I would or would not be able to infer from it, so I knew exactly what I was buying. The report itself is extensive and clear, with plenty of contextual illustrations and supporting photos to illustrate specific points of concern. The follow-up meeting with the surveyor to go through the report in detail was included in the cost, which I appreciated. Would recommend without hesitation.

I am very happy with the service provided. They communicated clearly and timely, the report was comprehensive (went for RICS level 3 building survey), Lee went through the report with me via a Zoom call and explained all the details, clarifying everything I didn’t understand. This gave me confidence in my purchase and knew what potential follow up costs I might have. Definitely recommend!

Lee carried out a Level 2 survey for us on a 4 bedroom house in Stoke Gifford and I couldn't be happier! He listened to our requests (we had some things we'd identified ahead of time we wanted checked) and produced a really helpful report which identified risks and further recommendations clearly - everything was written in clear, easy to understand English (no jargon!) and he obviously takes pride in what he does.

As a result of this survey we had more investigations and eventually pulled out of the purchase. Lee and Domestic Surveys have saved us a considerable amount of money (and time) and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them in the future. We will be using them again once we've found another house.

I can't recommend South West Surveyors more highly. A number of friends recommended them to me and it was easy to see why. The initial enquiry and booking process was very easy - Martin always responded promptly and clearly - and the survey done by Lee Preston was extremely thorough. In fact, I used South West Surveyors twice. It was because of Lee's survey and follow up chat that I decided to not proceed with one purchase but was very confident in pursuing the second. I am now very happily settled in my new home thanks to Martin and Lee.
