Great service from Alec at 7H Chartered Surveyors. Went above and beyond what was expected. Would recommend.
7h Surveyors were thoroughly professional, honest and helpful. The survey was extremely detailed and helped us to identify costs relating to the renovation. I would definitely use them again and can highly recommend their services. Thank you.
Alec was a great help performing a survey on our future home. The process to arrange & perform the survey was very simple. The report that followed was detailed, clear & concise. Follow up questions were addressed promptly. I would definitely recommend 7H surveyors
I have had an excellent experience using 7H and Alec on two occasions. I had Level 2 surveys with very concise and to the point reports which focused on any major issues. On both occasions I was able to pick up the phone to Alec and he would explain the report and any findings as well as answering my questions. Also at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended and I would use again.
We used 7H to compile a building report for a property we were purchasing. Very happy with the report, easy to follow with useful suggestions outside of the main recommendations. Would use again.
Alec Roxburgh was very helpful and quick to respond. I was happy with the survey report he provided for a property i was looking to buy. I'd certainly consider using 7H again in the future.
We used 7H Chartered Surveyors for two properties, both of which Alec did a fantastic job. He providing important detailed information, support from the many questions that we had posed on numerous occasions. We received an exceptional, professional service and would highly recommend him.
