Lumsdale Surveyors

We were worried about cracks that appeared upstairs in our property after some structural alterations. We feel lucky to have chosen Lumsdale Surveyors to investigate. Stephen was so thorough and helpful. He spent a long time inspecting and measuring and provided a really useful report at the end. The cost was more reasonable than we expected and it was excellent value for the very professional service we received. We have no hesitation in recommending Lumsdale Surveyors.

We have now used Stephen's services twice in 2023 - both houses we were interested in were 'vintage' properties and clearly carried some risk to a potential buyer. Stephen is a very thorough surveyor and we have benefited greatly from his attention to detail. We were already aware ourselves that each property required a budget for repairs - Stephen actually uncovered more than we had bargained for on both occasions, with photographic evidence provided to support his findings.

I wanted to use a local surveyor to conduct a full structural survey on a house we are buying and found this company on Google. I was immediately impressed with the quick answer to my email from Stephen and a subsequent phone call reassured me he was the right person for the job. I have not been disappointed, Stephen spent several hours at the property and undertook a detailed visual survey of the property, which resulted in a detailed but clearly explained and nicely outlined 14 page report along with over 150 photographs. He even provided a guide estimates of potential work, which was most helpful.I have no hesitation in recommending Stephen, his communication is excellent and the whole process was smooth and easy. I would use Lumsdale again.

I am a first time buyer and wasn't sure what to expect from a survey. I'm so glad I went with Stephen - he was efficient, well priced and the survey was so clear and easy to understand. Stephen provided photos along with explanations and clear colour coded actionable points. I now have a really clear plan of action for when I complete and am able to prioritise the work that needs doing to the house to suit my (lack of) budget! Highly recommended!

I'm very impressed with Lumsdale Surveyors. Stephen was very flexible and managed to fit my survey in earlier than expected. The survey was very thorough and was accompanied by lots of photos illustrating the concerns he had. He also answered all of my follow up questions/concerns quickly even though some of these I raised several weeks after the survey.

The survey that Stephen carried out was thorough and comprehensive, providing all the information that I required to give me peace of mind about the state of the property that I was purchasing.The report was well presented and the large file of photos was very helpful as it highlighted the problem areas clearly.If I ever decide to move again and need another survey I would definitely ask Stephen to carry out the work for me.

I asked Stephen at Lumsdale Surveyors to conduct a survey of a house I was interested in buying. He advised me on the appropriate level of survey for my needs and was very thorough in his survey, the ensuing report being clear, comprehensive and credible. As a consequence of his work a number of items for consideration were raised and I eventually decided not to proceed with the purchase. I felt that the money spent on the survey saved me an awful lot more in the long term. Consequently, I would not hesitate to recommend Stephen Hodgson.

Stephen did a comprehensive survey for us on our property. He was really professional and helpful with queries we had. We would thoroughly recommend him to prospective buyers.

Stephen was very prompt at responding, attending the property and returning the survey report quickly!The report was detailed, clear and well explained with lots of photos, which was really helpful. As first time buyers, we had lots of questions/worries about things with the property - Stephen very kindly and patiently talked us through everything over the phone too when we weren't sure of something, which we really appreciated.The report was also really helpful in making a decision as to whether or not to proceed with the purchase, as it gave us a detailed overview of faults which we were able to share with contractors for quotes. Great peace of mind to have.Overall, I really recommend Lumsdale Surveyors. Down to earth, timely, excellent communication and great customer service all round.

Stephen made a very through survey of our grade 2 listed house. We are selling and Stephen highlighted maintenance needs and other areas that would need attention soon, which was great. It is also giving our viewers confidence that there are no major issues. Money well spent we think. The bottom line is always; would we employ Stephen again- absolutely yes.
