We were very pleased with the service provided by GJS Dillon regarding our Level 3 Home Survey. The office team were always helpful and responsive, the survey report was delivered within 48 hours and was comprehensive and clear. We particularly valued the follow-up Zoom call we had with the surveyor where we were able to discuss further details. The cost was competitive, particularly considering that drone photos were included (whereas other companies charged this an an extra). Would definitely recommend.

I would not hesitate to use/recommend Michael and Ursula for any future surveys. Their communication was speedy and Michael’s knowledge was exemplary. He managed to complete our survey and provide us with the report within a few days. He followed this up with a very useful appointment to talk through the report. Fantastic service!

Delighted with the level 3 survey and valuation. I met with the surveyor at the property and was impressed by his detailed knowledge and thoroughness. After the survey, he also took me around the property and showed me the issues he had found first hand, which was very much appreciated.

We were really pleased that we used GLS Dillon for our house survey. They quickly replied to the initial enquiry and we felt there were professional and efficient in organising the next steps. The surveyor was completed within 2 wks of initial contact. The documents provided gave a thorough and detailed assessment of the property which we found hugely useful in deciding next steps with the property we were looking at. I would happily recommend GLS Dillon as House Surveyors

Michael of GJS Dillon carried out L3 survey on our behalf for our purchase of a 100+ year old house, significantly remodelled and extended over the years. Michael spent hours at the property, surveying every major element of the house all the way down to the tiniest of details that you would not normally consider. The report was received within 2 days and was extremely thorough, giving advice as to the items requiring immediate attention along with items that are perhaps in reasonable condition currently, however that may require attention in the future that he has noted in his experience.Post survey Michael has been available to contact with any following up questions, again giving advice on what remedial action would be proposed and how urgent that may be.I will undoubtedly be recommending GJS to our friends, family and colleagues.

Having made an offer on a property as a cash purchaser I was undecided about having a survey done as it seemed something of a waste of money.Fortunately common sense got the better of me as I couldn’t afford large unexpected bills if there happened to be problems in the future.The estate agent gave me a few surveyors names from the area and I’m so glad that I rang and got to speak with Michael Jones (GJS Dillon house surveyors). Mike was able to talk me through the surveying process and how he undertook the job. Having recently had our own house surveyed when the chap was here for 35 minutes max I felt so confident that I would get a thorough job done and signed up immediately.The survey was carried out within a fortnight and on the day of the survey Mike called with verbal feedback on critical issues, followed up by a very detailed and comprehensive report within a few days.Whilst there are issues with the property I’m considering buying I wasn’t left to wonder how to get them remedied as Mike was able to recommend specialists in all the areas that needed addressing.Buying a property by myself had been a worry but the support and guidance I’ve received is absolutely first rate. I’d definitely recommend Mike. He’s extremely knowledgeable with years of experience and gives me total confidence. Thank you!

I was signposted to GJS Dillon from a practice in Leamington Spa, as they were unable to assist. Piers was extremely quick to respond and the company was very efficient with everything from sending over the paperwork to liaising with the estate agents. I was kept very well informed throughout the process. The L3 report Piers produced was excellent, very detailed, while remaining clear and easy to follow. I would recommend GJS Dillion without hesitation.

I was referred to GJS Dillon by my previous surveyor who had retired, so had no prior experience or knowledge of the company. I have to say, I would now use them for any future surveys. I had a level 2 homebuyers survey through them. Sam in the office is extremely responsive and lovely to deal with. The quote was received very quickly, and she organised the survey very quickly too. The report itself was thoroughbut extremely easy to understand. I am very clear on what to check/assess as I move forward through the house buying process. The report was completed within 48 hours of the survey. Overall just a really easy, pleasant experience with high levels of customer service.

A very quick, efficient and painless step in what is a tortuous overall process. I gave Piers some points that I was looking to clarify ahead of the survey and he answered all of my points plus of course gave me a whole lot more, and, he did it all in double quick time. Overall I was impressed.

Jonathan carried out a level 3 survey and valuation on a period property in need of a complete restoration. From quotation to report production the service was excellent and efficient. The detailed report, valuation and follow up conversation was crucial in confirming the level of risk. Ultimately, we've potentially saved a fortune by not proceeding. Money well spent - thank you.

Excellent service. We had a level 3 residential survey performed on a thatched grade 2 listed property. The survey was completed and report provided very promptly. The report was comprehensive, very thorough and easy to understand. Fortunately there were no major issues identified, for the property. However, the detailed list of items to check, or in need of repair or renovation will be very helpful and useful to provide to a builder and get the property ship shape.

His service and professionalism was second to none, in addition he offered further advice once the report was produced, something that was sadly lacking when I have used other firms. I now recommend survey services from GJS Dillon to my clients.
