Steve was very professional, and conducts himself well in line with RICS members guidance. The report was very detailed and explained everything very well, and for any issues raised, steps we should take to address. Would recommend Steve for carrying out your necessary home surveys.
We engaged Steve to complete a level 3 survey on a property. The report was excellent and very thorough, detailing major and minor faults with pictures as evidence of the findings. All communications, over the phone and email, have been very professional and Steve is very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend Steve for surveyor work in the future.
We recently had our valuation done by Steve at Rainfords, he was very polite and professional, he explained the process well and did a very thorough job of measuring and photographing each detail in order to provide us with an accurate valuation. I would definitely recommend Rainfords.
We found Steve and Lin Dodson to meticulous, honest and most of all approachable, informative and advisive in every way when they carried out all 3 different surveys on our behalf. They saved us from buying what would have turned out to be a money pit on our first survey, our second wasclear of major problems but unfortunately we could not complete the purchase due to our sale collapsing, and finally they produced a report that we can negotiate with the vendors and carry out the necessary repairs. We are truly grateful.
I was given Rainfords Surveyors number by the Estate Agent of the house we were looking to buy. Right from the start, Steve was very professional and very approachable. As I know nothing about the subject I found him very easy to talk to and he explained his approach in laymans terms and explained how the service worked. He sent us the info on the company and charges quickly by e mail and arranged a date to carry out the survey a week later. He was happy to receive any questions we had beforehand about any specific issues we may have after our initial viewings of the property so he could look into these on the day. We paid for a full building survey as it was an old house we were looking to buy. He did explain beforehand that in very unusual circumstances, he may call us on the day from the property with any immediate concerns. This turned out to be the case with us. The house was an old Victorian terrace and had a number of concerns. Although we were disappointed with the findings, we were so rest assured that he done such a meticulous job. He sent us the survey within 24 hours and his results were very professionally presented. Suffice it to say we had to withdraw from purchasing the house. I would fully recommend Rainfords Surveyors and certainly hope to use their services again when we find another house. Many thanks.Moreexpand_more
Rainford Chartered Surveyors have been used by several family members over the years for house purchase and valuation puposes. The survey reports compiled have always been extremely detailed and accurate. I have no hesitation in recommending this Company to anyone who needs this type of professional service.
My wife and I found Steve very easy to work with and very communitive. His report of the property we are purchasing is very thorough and has provided a very clear picture of what maintenance will be required in the future years and exactly what we are moving into. I would not hesitate to recommend Rainsfords Chartered Surveyors and thank them for their excellent work.
We instructed Steve to survey our potential new home during the pandemic. Steve has kept us in the loop all the way through, the report was estimated to take 7 days after the survey was completed, we received it the very same day. The report is really detailed and we had some questions to follow up, and Steve helped us understand everything. I certainly would recommend using Rainfords and wouldn't hesitate in using them again!
Steve was perfectly professional and helpful throughout this process. He managed to get an appointment at the property prior to the country going into lockdown, so didn't slow the process down! Communication great at all times and delivered within expected timescales. Definitely recommend!
Steve was late to our appointment. I had to contact him to chase my report, which he stated I would have in a week but didn't recieve until 9th day later after chasing. Down-valued my property, stating the comparisons were better despite one of the comparisons he presented was a similar semi-detached 2 bed-property that sold for £6,500 more. When contacted him to discuss the valuation further, he was very unhelpful and couldn't expand on his rationale. I would not recommend this company.
Steve Dodgson of Rainfords Surveyors undertook a full building survey on a property I wished to purchase. A very thorough detailed and informative 80 odd page Report was provided that has enabled me to understand the property condition and to proceed with confidence on the purchase. I would highly recommend his work.
