While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software.

Survey was extremely informative and detailed. Surveyors are really helpful and easy to contact. Would use again and would fully recommend to anyone else.

I hired Graeme to do the valuation of my flat in order to proceed with a remortgage and reimburse Help To Buy (HTB). Naturally, the higher the valuation the higher the amount you need to pay back to HTB. All I wanted was to get a fair valuation... After they viewed the flat, I received the valuation report and my heart skipped: Graeme evaluated the flat as £60,000 more than their 'initial calculation' because 'the subject property is unique'. Which was the same as saying "Here are our calculations but hey, can't really tell you why but trust me it's unique so let's bump up the price by £60,000 - no more explanation needed"
I reviewed carefully the valuation and realised that the report was also full of errors:
- There was a mention of private parking, which was not the case (I wish!)
- The comparables used were 3-bedroom & 2-bathroom flats with 24h concierge and swimming pools, while my flat is a 2-bedroom and 1-bathroom flat with no concierge or swimming pool (I also wish!)
I raised the errors to Graeme, even more so about the parking (which he supposedly saw) and he then told me that he 'would like to see evidence from your legal representative that you do not have parking allocated' (?!)
I asked for a refund and Graeme started shouting at me on the phone and insulted me.
I then hired another surveyor who was a lot more thorough and professional. They used fair comparables and provided a report without errors, and their valuation was £40,000 LESS the one from Pridmorecox...
After this unfortunate event, I raised a complaint to RICS which was unsuccessful. So please, spare yourself the time, the energy and the money and hire real professionals.
Thanks ever so much for the Survey and Valuation of our house. You are approachable, friendly, reliable with a high level of professional conduct in the work you do. I recommend you highly.
Reached out to Pridmore Cox as I needed a RICS valuation further to the redemption process of a Help to Buy equity loan. Professional from start to finish, communication was clear and prompt (even outside of normal hours which was appreciated as I can get quite busy during the day). Would definitely recommend.
Graeme was very friendly to deal with and very efficient, from providing a competitive quote to providing the final report. Would recommend without hesitation.
Graeme was lovely, he completed a valuation of our house. Would recommend :)
