The Hopps Partnership

I would recommend Robert. His report was very thorough and clear. He helpfully offered to discuss the report over the phone and this assisted in us gaining a full understanding of some of the main issues the survey identified. We are just about to purchase our 'forever' home and the survey and discussions with Robert have assisted us in purchasing the property with 'eyes wide open'. Although we do not plan to buy another property for a long time, I would not hesitate in instructing Robert/Hopps Partnership again.

Absolutely excellent surveyor. Robert surveyed the property, an old Victorian house, and left no stone unturned. But unlike most surveyors, the report was well balanced and informative - something especially challenging for period properties which are not standard boxes like new-builds. Sprinkled through our report were golden nuggets of maintenance and remedial work, along with a 2 to 5 year timeline of what to keep an eye on, or do. Needless to say, we were very impressed.

Excellent service. Robert wrote a very thorough report which contained explanations for the benefit of a non-specialist. He also talked the report through with me on the phone and took time to answer all my questions very clearly and in a way that was easy to understand. He was very approachable and I would definitely use his services again.

We instructed the Hopps Partnership and from initial contact, all the way through to receiving of the report, the whole process was straightforward, helpful and quick (despite being super busy due to the impending stamp duty deadline)The report we received has been very useful in giving us comfort to proceed with our purchase and detail further works that we'll need to get done in the future.Robert also promptly responded to a very last minute pre-exchange query and went the extra mile to get us the information we needed.All in all, a really positive experience.

This is the second time that Robert has gone out of his way to help us, and given us excellent advice including potential fixes and useful contacts. As before he was hugely generous with his time and his knowledge. We couldn't recommend him more highly.

Professional, supportive, accommodating are all words that I can use to describe our experience of working with Robert. Upon initial contact he made it evident that he would be able to meet our needs, which was done through humility and a willingness to work with our tight deadline. Since the report has been done he has been on hand to ensure that we comprehend it and also answer further questions that have come to us via contractors. I know that if/when somebody asks me for a surveyor I would feel confident to pass on Robert's details.

Robert Hopps, of the Hopps Partnership, did an extremely good job of the survey of the property I'm in the process of buying and I would strongly recommend his services. Not only did he spot everything (he is sometimes rather alarmingly thorough - nothing slips past his eagle eye) but then he took the trouble to explain it all to me afterwards, in a way that I could understand, thus enabling me to make a fully informed decision about the house. It's a difficult time, especially with an older house (mine is approx 250 years old), and I felt I was in the best of hands when I decided to go ahead with my purchase.

Robert was accommodating and understanding of our unique situation. He's knowledgeable and experienced and we appreciated his honesty along with his expertise. Highly recommended.

I engaged Robert to undertake a Level 3 Survey on a new property, based on a number of 5 star reviews I could find online. I would like to echo all of those reviews. Robert provided an exceptionally thorough report, with lots of photos. He went the extra mile to get into the detail. There were a lot of issues identified so I had a long list of follow up questions. He was also prepared to fit into my schedule to discuss these on a lengthy call, and give cost estimates for everything (something which I had observed from reviews of other firms is not always forthcoming). We also ran through with a view to picking out the items which really matter, and those which would just be expected. All in all, a fantastic service. I highly recommend to others.

Robert was both reassuringly thorough and very flexible in doing the survey and turning the report around promptly. He was also happy to candidly interpret the survey report for us and identify what we needed to turn our attention to, so it was clear how we needed to prioritise.One of those people that you are immediately glad you hired.
