RICS Level 3 Survey

I had an excellent experience with Sanders Cobb. As first-time buyers, we really appreciated how thorough and professional the process was. We opted for a Level 3 Building Survey, and it was incredibly detailed. They even used a drone to capture images of the roof, which gave us a clear view of any potential issues that might have been missed otherwise.

Communication throughout was fantastic. The team kept us informed at every stage, and after the survey, Matt took the time to call and walk us through the findings. This was extremely helpful and gave us confidence in understanding the report.

Overall, I highly recommend Sanders Cobb for anyone looking for a comprehensive and reliable building survey. Their attention to detail and customer care are outstanding.

RICS Level III Survey

We recently engaged Sanders Cobb for a RICS Level III Survey as part of our property purchase, and we couldn’t have been more impressed with the experience. From the very first interaction, the team was professional, communicative, and organised.
Our surveyor, Richard, stood out for his expertise and thoroughness. He took the time to walk us through every finding in great detail — explaining the technical aspects in a way that was easy to understand and ensuring we felt fully informed about the property’s condition. What we really appreciated was his patience and willingness to answer all our questions, no matter how minor they seemed.
The final report was exceptionally detailed yet very clear and well structured, highlighting key issues, recommendations, and next steps. It was also delivered ahead of the promised turnaround time, which really helped us stay on track with our purchase timeline.
Overall, we found Sanders Cobb to be a very reliable and professional firm. Their responsiveness, punctuality, and quality of service gave us complete confidence in our decision-making process. We would highly recommend Richard and his team to anyone looking for a comprehensive and trustworthy surveyor. His attention to detail and client care are truly outstanding.

Thank you, Richard, for your time and dedication!

A great experience using Sanders Cobb

Had a great experience using Sanders Cobb. Was recommended by the estate agent as asked for a local company
Communication was excellent when I had several queries prior to booking, the survey was extensive and i was called by the surveyor afterwards to discuss the content. Very pleased and I can highly recommend them.

Very impressed with this surveyor…

Very impressed with this surveyor company.
They produced a fully comprehensive report with very few caveats like we couldn’t inspect this or that because we couldn’t get access etc..
The report (which was lengthy) was produced in a few days which didn’t hold up the buying process at all.
He gave us a very helpful overview face to face after he’d finished, which basically tells you either there’s nothing serious to worry about or it’s going to cost a lot to sort. Which is just what you need.
Would definitely recommend.

Level 3 survey

Richard is very friendly and knowledgeable.
After completing the survey, he met me at the property to discuss his findings, which was extremely helpful and saved me a lot of time. He took the time to explain everything clearly and addressed any questions I had and even gave some advice about potential extension.
I received the report within a few days, and what was more impressive was how quick he was responding to our follow-up queries. I highly recommend Richard!

Comprehensive, on time and very helpful service

Matt was super helpful - he was patient in understanding key areas we were looking to understand, clearly took time at the property during the survey and provided a fully comprehensive report. I liked the optionality of meeting him or having a video call to discuss initial findings before the report was sent. The service was on time, comprehensive and made us feel comfortable with next steps.

Richard Cobb had a very good way about him with the vendors, seemed to have kept them very much onside which allowed him to walk me round on the day of the survey, pointing out issues.
The level 3 report produced was highly detailed, but written in plain English.
I would definitely use Sanders Cobb again based on my experience and their professionalism.

Excellent service, highly recommend

We recently engaged Sanders Cobb on a level 3 survey of a detached house prior to purchasing. The service from start to finish was exceptional. Meeting Richard at the property on the day of the survey was greatly appreciated and very helpful. The report which followed was extremely comprehensive, but also very fair and balanced, with practical recommendations on how to address issues. We would not hesitate to use Sanders Cobb again and will certainly recommend to friends and family. Many thanks Richard and Matt!

Couldn't recommend any more

Couldn't recommend any more. I dealt with Richard, who not only provided a comprehensive survey, he met with me in person and went through the entire house which gave me extra comfort in the property purchase. They were not the cheapest quote I had received but the saying 'you get what you pay for' certainly applies here, and the results actually allowed me to negotiate a reduction in price, that covered the cost and more. To round it all off Richard made himself available for follow up calls where I had further questions. All in all a very good experience.
