Wren Surveyors

Ben went above and beyond to help us with our recent survey for our property purchase. At short notice, he was able to secure a date and completed the survey with great expertise. The report was detailed and comprehensive and Ben rang us prior to sending the report to discuss his findings. He put us at great ease and spoke with great knowledge. He was friendly, knowledgeable and professional and we wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend him to anyone needing a survey.

Really happy with our experience using Wren for a structural survey of our prospective period home. Ben was communicative throughout and very thorough in his report. He also talked us through the findings on the phone, and was happy to take follow up questions, which was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend.

Ben was brilliant. He was quick to respond and get a date in the diary to conduct the survey and within a week he had returned a very clear and comprehensive report. As well as this, he offered additional guidance for a couple of first time buyers which was invaluable, and continued to offer support on how to proceed with the survey results. Would thoroughly recommend to anybody looking to buy a property.

Our experience with Ben was great from beginning to end: he was very responsive, explained things well and gave us advice on which survey to choose as first-time buyers. He got the survey done very quickly, communicating with us along the way and we found the survey to be written in a clear and helpful way. He also took the time to explain to us on the phone anything that was unclear, which was very helpful. The whole process was stress-free, which is much appreciated when looking to buy a property. We would definitely recommend his services to others and work with him again.

I used Ben for a building survey and he didn't ask for this review as some Companies do and you feel obligated to be positive about their Service, so this review is given freely by me.Ben was great, reliable and professional. He provided a detailed report with clear photos and also made himself available to consult and ask questions to clarify things. I was particularly grateful as he was so accommodating in seeking out specific things that worried me.Was glad I found him and would highly, highly recommend. I rarely write reviews but he so was great that I felt I had to.

Ben Wigglesworth was appointed by the potential buyer for my house at Elephant and Castle to conduct a full survey on 31/08/2023.He examined my house from inside and outside for about three and a half hours and according to the buyers the surveyor’s report stated that the house had several structural issues, the most severe being the structural issue on the front wall, the roof creep, several cracks/rafter issues and damp.According to the buyers the surveyors general view was “this is a very expensive fix overall”.The buyers added “We are disappointed as we love the house and location, but do not have the capacity to proceed and address these major issues”.Finally, the surveyor’s “kind” message to me was “she might want to try to sell her house on auction”.Because of this report the buyers decided to stand down from their offer.I was in a state of shock for days, worrying that the house was soon going to collapse.After I recovered from the initial shock, I approached a reputable London engineering company asking for a structural inspection of my house and their recommendations for future actions to remedy all structural issues.The general structural inspection took place on 29th September 2023. A structural engineer accompanied by his colleague came to inspect my house and the report I received on 29th October among other points stated the following:Front elevation (West) - Bowing at the top of the front façade but the brickwork is in good condition and the wall is stable. However, if the client requires from an aesthetic point of view to rebuild the part of the wall to make it less bowed then advice from a bricklayer should be sought.“In conclusion, the house is in a good structural condition and there is no evidence of recent structural movements”.I am now considering making a claim for surveyor’s professional negligence.

Highly recommended. Very thorough, reliable and helpful. We needed to travel to London from abroad. Ben was very accommodating in scheduling a suitable time on very short-notice. Also very fast turn-around time. Super detailed report with >60 pages. I had my brother, an architect from Germany, join us on-site, and we appreciated Ben's very thorough, honest and helpful debrief. His detailed recommendations and explanations how we should go about refurbishing the property were very helpful and greatly appreciated. Also Ben made himself available for follow-up questions we had. Very happy we chose Ben, would always work with him again.

Ben was fantastic. We had a L3 survey carried out, he was quick to respond and issue the report and we had a call to walk us through the results straight after the survey. As first time buyers it was really helpful, and he has been great answering follow up questions as we went through the purchase as well. Would absolutely recommend!

A trustworthy and comprehensive Surveyor. Ben surveyed our house in South London last year and we were thoroughly impressed. His report on the property continues to be of use. Highly recommended. We would come to Ben again.

We used Wren for 2 surveys this year. I highly recommend Ben - one of the homes was in need of a lot of work and he really helped us see details and issues we wouldn’t have noticed. The next home was much newer but thanks to his detailed report we have a pretty clear lineup to hand builders for future improvements and maintenance. Lovely to work with and very professional, thorough write ups with lots of photos for clarity. He also chatted to me about additional questions I had and appreciate the extra time he gave. 5 stars all around!
