Everything went very smoothly, until we tipped over the promised seven working day return for our level 3 survey report. As we were heading on holiday very soon afterwards, we had been very much reassured by the set timetable and were surprised and stressed when day 7 came and went without any report arriving. However, I must say that the homemove team were excellent in setting up the survey and excellent again in chasing up our surveyor on day 8. He phoned us with an apology soon afterwards and the report then appeared within an hour or two. The report itself was all that it should have been. Had it not been for the time delay and subsequent stress, we would have definitely awarded 5 stars.

Survey was good when I got it. A shame I had to chase it!

A shame really because we decided to use Homemove for the easy-to-use website, the ease of booking and the good media coverage which indicated it was reliable. However, without any remediation, we are unlikely to use Homemove again. Surveyors were initially scheduled to come on Wednesday 15th April. However, they didn’t show up, even though the estate agents reconfirmed it on Tuesday 14th April. The builder was waiting for them there for an hour. Apparently, the surveyor took emergency medical leave yet failed to notify us until 30 mins after the appointment was scheduled. Once rescheduled, the survey also missed cosmetic finishes despite committing to do so. For example, we spotted paint chip in the bathroom ceiling and paint brush marks to the right hand side of the staircase at low level, but these weren’t included.

Really easy to communicate with. Matt from IQS has saved me time, money and hassle with his discovery of servere damp. So much so. I pullled out of a house purchase. I noticed a loose floor board in the property. Informed IQS that it maybe a way to get a look under the floor. They passed it on to Matt. I'm so thankful they did. Lots of details in the other areas of the level 3 survey. Bitter sweet i suppose you could say. Don't hesitate to use IQS.

Very thorough survey, completed to schedule. Slight damage caused to one window, which was dealt with promptly, otherwise would have been five star.

It was thorough and comprehensive survey and report. However I noted they did not survey the freestanding garage unit nearby and was unclear why this was.

Thomas W.11 Dec 2025
Fair price, quick to schedule and a thorough report.
Kevin K.9 Dec 2025
The survet report was concise, very factual and covered all the aspects of the property which may have inherant problems or possible problems.
The conclusion was there was nothing untoward for a house constructed in 1968 and normal maintenance would take care of all the items pointed out for attention.
Andrew P.5 Dec 2025
A thorough survey
Louise S.4 Dec 2025
Good, quick and easy to arrange, thorough report provided within 3 days of the survey taking place.
Lauren M.27 Nov 2025
I have paid an extra fee for a valuation and here I am 10 days later and it hasn't been sent.. it wasn't in with my survey report, and I've been told it's seperate, but why? I have had them together before. I honestly think you forgot to include it and are not admitting your mistake... Also promised 5-7 days and this is day 10...
Roland M.21 Nov 2025
Quick appointment.
Good report with concise understandable summaries supported with photographic evidence.
Quick response when requesting a follow-up discussion with the surveyor.
Very good and informative follow-up with the surveyor who clarified the questions I had.
Highly recommended.

It took a long time to get the report back. I had to follow it up a few times. All details within the report are good.

Communication via home move site could be improved. I had to contact them directly
Jasmine C.12 Nov 2025
We were very impressed with our L2 Surveyor. The report contained lots of helpful information and felt very thorough. The accompanying photos were really helpful too. The whole process from booking to completion has been straightforward.

Tom C.30 Oct 2025
My survey date was late and I was advised I would get my results in 5-7 working days, which I also did not
Christopher N.30 Oct 2025
Took 10 days for results to come through! I even called twice beforehand to chase it up! It was the woman (name not known) who was helpful on the phone, the guys were very blunt!
Beth S.29 Oct 2025
The survey itself was good. The booking and time that it took to complete was longer than I expected when paying privately. However, I would use them again, bearing that in mind.
Jayne H.27 Oct 2025
A few pictures to show what some of the comments meant would have been useful to understand the report. However very thorough.

I particularly asked for a level 3 survey to check out what was a swimming pool and converted to a bedroom with a basement. Report came in without this being checked!
John M.15 Oct 2025
The survey was very comprehensive, was clearly competently fulfilled and shared photographic evidence where necessary. We had hoped for a quicker turn around based on previous experience of a Level 2 survey.
