We have used Martin now for two different types of survey and for both of them he was quick to respond, carried out a detailed report but presented it in a way I could understand. I felt his prices were fair for the service I received and no doubt using Martins services in the future.
Our Property Condition Report was thorough and clearly laid out and the Appendix with photographs helped me to understand all of the points made, especially where the language was more technical.
Martin was flexible in his timings, came out quickly when we were ready, managed the expectations of the seller by flagging points he was going to include to them in advance and provided his report promptly.
We had a helpful call to go through the report to understand the key points and Martin was happy for the report to be provided to the seller in the interest of transparency.
Couldn't have asked for more.

Martin surveyed a property we are in the process of purchasing. His report was thorough and very clear; the detailed photographs evidenced all of the points he highlighted. Following the survey we arranged a call to talked through the issues he had identified; it was invaluable, and gave us confidence moving forward with the transaction. Highly recommended.
Martin's report was very thorough and he was super helpful in pointing out issues with the property, the consequences of not remedying them, and ways to fix them.
He also went above and beyond the report by providing helpful advice on issues relating to the property sale.
We recently had Plandwell carry out a survey of a property we’re about to purchase, and Martin Cheeseman was fabulous. In less than 48 hours, he arranged with the current owners for a visit and had a survey completed and sent over to us in a week. The survey itself was incredibly thorough with a clear list of all “need-to-dos” upon moving in and the price was extremely competitive. As first time buyers he really put us at ease and I couldn’t recommend him more. 10/10

Martin was extremely professional from start to finish. He booked in the survey appointment quickly and once the survey was completed, he produced the report within 3 working days.
His survey was thorough and very clear. I have never bought a house before and so Martin was very kind and helpful to explain over the phone what certain things meant.
His valuation of the house was very helpful and we actually used this as evidence to the vendor that the house was overpriced due to the work needed. This evidence enabled the vendor to reduce the price for us.
I would 100% recommend Martin’s service to all.
