I was looking for a Level 3 RICs report for a 125yr old property I had found, made an offer on and the vendors wanted a quick sale. Whilst searching local and online companies for the right company to carry out the survey, I found Oliviathomasestates.co.uk and through their website made contact with Bianca.There was no hard sell, but I was able to ask sufficient questions to reassure me that this was the surveyor I wanted to choose. Bianca is a very knowledgeable and qualified individual who was able to talk me through the inspection process is a calm, explanatory and very professional way. I was very impressed with the service being offered including aerial photographs and a face-to-face meeting to discuss and help me interpret the findings in the final report and, offer very welcome advice and opinion. In terms of the final report, it was very comprehensive, well set out, understandable by the lay-person and completed in double quick time. I was able to grasp the significance of the detailed findings in order to make a huge financial decision to continue with the purchase. Bianca's report also gave me a list of useful questions to draw upon when speaking with my conveyancing solicitors ensuring that any potential issues identified were raised. As far as the cost of this inspection report was concerned. I had no idea what a RICs level 3 might cost me given that the last time I had a survey done was in 2006. However, Bianca's charges were very reasonable compared to some very 'silly' quotes others had provided. She was not the cheapest quote, but quickly showed that value for money is relative especially when the product you are looking for is produced in a very timely manner, identifying the issues you expected it too but, moreso, the skilful delivery of the report, the depth of knowledge and customer care that went into producing it including, after sales advice and ongoing support should it be required. This aspect really stood out. I am glad that I found this company and Bianca. I cannot recommend Bianca highly enough and I would have no hesitation in using her again.
