Quick and They were able to come out quick and…

They were able to come out quick and offered a draft report 2 days later. They offered a telephone call for a verbal handover on the day but I felt they could have gone into further detail/clarification during the call, but when the report came through later, it was very comprehensive and self explanatory. Even though the scoring of the property was ok in the report, they still made a comment that there are works required and suggested I should reduce my price which was helpful for me when I went back to my seller asking for a discount. They were also very affordable in comparison to the others. This is the second time I have interacted with building surveyors in general and I will likely return to west side next time I need a survey. I don’t have any regrets having paid less than what others were asking for as I feel that I have a good idea of the property I am buying.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. I had the worst experience with them. Yes, booking them in went smoothly but my survey that was carried out was not done thoroughly. The surveyor took photos and checked a few walls, sent me the report back and everything seemed pretty standard/satisfactory. I purchased the property and it was infested with damp and mould. My wall collapsed within a month of purchase. When investigated further the surveyor hadn't even bothered to check the tank room or the ceilings! This is the one place that holds the most water and he hadn't even bothered to look in it. I had specific requests and they were not even looked at! this is the basic. Even after I contacted the agency there was no solution. The response was lazy. I was told " the surveyor doesn't look any further if a cupboard is full" absolutely appalling! It's very obvious there had been several leaks prior to buying this place but no mention of that. I am now stuck with this property that has mould and damp everywhere, my sink taps that have no water pressure and also the potential of not being able to sell my property! I say do yourself a favour and problems, STAY AWAY! I'm absolutely livid with the outcome, my purchase was reliant on this survey and now I'm faced with all these issues I could've avoided . what the hell did I pay £250 for?!!!! I’ll have to now take legal action against them.

Dear Ms Begum, As communicated to you previously we are sorry to hear that you wasn’t happy with the service provided as customer satisfaction is very important to us.

In response to the points raised in your review; We undertook the inspection on 22nd March 2023, you raised your concern with us on 5th October and we responded within 48hr, offering to attend the property at a weekend to inspect the issue however you declined the offer and immediately threatened legal action if compensation wasn’t offered.

The Level 2 RICS HomeBuyer Survey report produced for your two-bedroom 1990’s first floor flat by our surveyor has 114 photos showing various points raised in the 44 page report. There are numerous photos showing the use of a damp meter to spot check for damp and water penetration, as per the RICS guidance, and at the time of inspection only rising damp was found in the common areas. We also note that it wasn’t until major building work was undertaken that any issues were found which in itself suggest that there were no visible defects when you took possession of the property otherwise I am confident that you and/or your builders would have raised the concern sooner.

The photos of the building works that you sent us appear to show a service riser duct which encases the main stack pipe serving the flats above. The photos in our report evidence that the surrounding area was tested for moisture and was dry at the time of inspection. The flat was occupied at the time of our inspection and the cupboard containing the riser was being used by the vendor to store personal effects therefore the surveyor did log in his report that the inspection was limited in certain areas. As discussed the RICS guidance states; ‘The surveyor inspects the inside and outside of the main building and all permanent outbuildings, but does not force or open up the fabric. This means that the surveyor does not take up carpets, floor coverings or floorboards, move furniture, remove the contents of cupboards, roof spaces, etc., remove secured panels and/or hatches or undo electrical fittings’ therefore the surveyor was not expected to empty the cupboard unless he suspected that there was a defect which he did not.

From the information that you provided we believe that there has most probably been a leak from the flat above and water has travelled through the encased services riser, most likely tracking down the soil pipe until it reached the below ground drainage system as there were no signs of water penetration within the flat itself. This could have been confirmed if we were able to revisit the property.

The condensation build up within the service duct has most likely caused mould to form on the inside of the ducting, however this would not have been visible until the stack pipe was exposed and there certainly wasn’t mould visible when our surveyor undertook his inspection. We do appreciate that purchasing a property is a substantial commitment and our objective is always to provide our clients with accurate information to allow them to make an informed decision about their purchase however, there are rare occasions where a property has a hidden defect, or a defect arises after our inspection which are out of our control and if/when this arises we support our clients by providing professional guidance to ensure that any remedial works are completed correctly.

As it seems clear that the issue you have raised was not present during our inspection we have advised you to contact your insurer and to notify them of the damage caused to your property from the flat/flats above. We have also offered to inspect the property in case you or your insurers require independent professional advice on the cause and extent of the damage, but to date our offers to support you have been rejected.

We remain open to helping you resolve this unfortunate situation and should you reconsider our offer please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thankyou!

In the misery and uncertainty of moving house Casey at Westside Group is a wonderful ray of sunshine. Her communication is swift, efficient and friendly. The company seems to have clear systems and procedures which enable professional support and advice. They’re fees feel reasonable for the detail expected in the RICS reports. Thankyou very very much.

Comprehensive service and responsive, but sadly...

Westside Services provided a comprehensive Level 3 building survey report and were very responsive to my follow-up queries. However, they let themselves down by, 1) stating there was Artex in the property that might contain asbestos when, in fact, there was no Artex in any rooms of the house (I was later told this was included in the report in error, which was fair enough); and 2) stating the kitchen was, "constructed from chipboard carcass units, laminate chipboard worktops, a ceramic sink with mixer tap and laminate splashback" when they could've barely been more wrong in their assessment - the kitchen units were, in fact, solid wood and the worktops and splashbacks were granite. The surveyor apologised for these errors, however, he then compounded the mistake by stating query 2) was just "a typo". This was an annoying and unprofessional response to what was a glaring error, and it made me wonder what other glaring errors lurked in their report. Because of this, I would not recommend this company.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention and we are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with the service provided.

We have investigated the matter and have found that the team experienced issues with the report writing system, as a result we have implemented steps to ensure that it doesn’t happen again.

Once again we thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Kind regards

Great end to end service

From the start of the process (initial requests for quotes and survey specifics) Casey was fully engaged and communicated with me promptly, in easy to understand language and with clear information. Once the survey was commissioned she kept me informed of activities. Our surveyor, Jamie, completed the survey, gave me an overview within days of the survey and attended a call to discuss findings.

The end to end process was painless, payments for services were easy to make and they shared 100+ high-res pictures taken during the survey.

Very happy with Westside’s support and service.

Good service and reasonable price

They gave fast response to me and answered all my concerns before and after survey. Surveyor gave me a call before conducting the survey to let me have some ideas of the conditions of the property.
The report is presented clearly with sufficient amount of pictures.
I will recommend WS to my friends.

If you are in their catchment area, book your survey through Westside Services!

Having read reviews of Westside Services when arranging a survey for a home we were hoping to purchase, we were not disappointed. The survey was arranged swiftly, completed to a very high standard with open communication afterwards allowing us to easily clarify some things we were unsure of. The surveyor called immediately after completing the survey to give us an overview of his findings and the full report was sent a few days later. This allowed us to be aware of the key points instantly so that when we received the detailed pdf, we knew where to focus most attention. I would recommend Westside Services to anybody in their catchment area. As well as all of the above, they were also the most competitively priced! Can't fault them at all.
