Mar 16,2023Prompt and excellent service from start to finish. No hassle and from one phone call everything was arranged and had a full survey report by the end of the week. Fantastic, would highly recommend.

Mar 09,2023First off the customer service that I received from the beginning was great. I paid for a valuation to be included in my Homebuyer report. Once the survey had been done, I received the report in less than 48 hours which was a really fast turn around. The report was easy to understand and therefore I have not needed to contact Walker Dunn for further explanation. For a first time buyer, Walker Dunn have made the surveying experience quite smooth for us. I would definitely recommend them.

Feb 13,2023The report came over within 24 hours of the survey being carried out and I found it to be very thorough and easy to navigate. I had a query about the report and was promptly called by the surveyor, Rachel, who was super helpful and more than happy to answer any questions I had.

Jan 15,2023Whilst the report from the full building survey looked reassuring and comprehensive, once I moved into my new house, I sadly discovered it to be unreliable. The first issue was that, although the roof covering was given a condition rating of 2 (not considered urgent), within a few months of moving in I experienced leaks, requiring repairs to the roof – specifically the repointing of the chimney as well as replacing the flashing to the gable end. When I raised this with the company, I did not receive a satisfactory response – instead they referred to their recommendation at the time that I conduct a damp survey based on isolated high moisture readings observed at ground floor walls - how this relates to the need to repoint a chimney which in their report they stated "generally appears to be in a satisfactory state of repair" is not obvious to me, or I would assume many other prospective house buyers. My second discovery was incorrect information supplied, specifically the survey stated that "as is recommended, the bathroom has been fitted with a mechanical extract fan complete with overrun facility and which should preferably be fitted with a ‘humiditstat’. This was found to be working", which in fact turned out to be false. Upon moving in to the property I discovered that there was no fan in the bathroom (only a light), and so it is not possible that it was tested – meaning that, more worryingly, the survey contained false information. When I raised this with the company their defence seemed to be that, if I had instructed an electrical contractor to conduct a survey as they recommended, this independent report might have highlighted the discrepancy with the false information supplied in the building survey. They further indicated that the absence of a bathroom fan would not have impacted the purchase price of the property. They failed to appreciate or respond to my concern that, whilst the absence of a bathroom fan may not significantly impact the market value of the property, it will require additional expense and inconvenience to rectify which would need to be planned for. More generally, if one piece of information in the survey is incorrect, then how many more errors are there in the survey that I have yet to identify, and how much additional expense and inconvenience will this entail? So sadly, having contracted an expensive survey which experience has demonstrated not to be entirely trustworthy, I am further extremely disappointed by the response I received when raising these issues with the company - in responding to my complaint the company did not display any customer empathy, but appeared to be focussed on protecting itself financially and hiding behind legalise. Based on my experience I would not recommend using this company.

Apr 21,2023Brilliant customer service. Yvonne was amazing and always at the end of the phone if needed. Needed advice on a different matter to do with a house move and felt completely reassured by Yvonne to make a decision. 100% will be recommending Walker Dunn to anyone needing a survey.
