What Our Clients Say

Mrs J Collins

Mark has carried out two surveys for me now. Everyone I have dealt with at M S Surveys has been a credit to the company, all friendly and efficient.

When I’ve needed to follow up any actions from the survey, Mark has always given me prompt, straightforward and sound advice. I cannot underestimate the value of his support..

Alex B - January 2023

Thanks for the prompt turnaround, much appreciated.

I thought it worth mentioning, your quote was more than competitors however I chose to look past this. I really appreciated the way Lance spoke with me on my sale which gave me the confidence to use him for my purchase. I would definitely recommend MS Surveys to others and especially Lance.

Best regards,

Excellent service!

When I needed a survey done on my property, Jon gave professional advice and information. He produced a thorough and in depth report. I received a prompt and friendly service from Beverley in the office. I was very happy with the service I received and I can recommend this company.

I just want to say how impressed I was with MS Surveys when they undertook a Level 2 survey on the house I am buying.  Lance gave outstanding customer service, and was so lovely, friendly and easy to talk to.  I confess I did not know a lot about structures of houses and other things that came up in the survey, but he was so patient and kind as he talked me through and explained it all to me.  I thoroughly recommend themKind regards

I spoke to Mark about a potential structural issue on my conversion. He freely gave his time and advice on the options open to me. As an engineering professional myself, I place high value on honest and open advice. Many thanks to Mark

In the process of buying our first home and had a survey done from Mark, he was absolutely brilliant in providing us with reassurance and his professional opinion on some of the defects and issues that arose.

Recommended what survey we had (and this wasn't just the most expensive one). Absolutely brilliant and couldn't recommend more highly.

We're looking at buying a new house and Mark from MS Surveys has delivered a fantastic, detailed report which has given us the confidence that we've made the right decision.  Excellent and professional service from someone who really knows his stuff!! Thanks Mark

I instructed MS Surveys very close to my completion date wanting an urgent Buyer's survey.  Beverley was so helpful, accommodating and managed to squeeze me in really quickly.  Within an hour or so of the visit the surveyor called me to discuss the points that would be put in the report.  He explained everything in a really easy to understand way to prevent any alarm on receipt of the report.  This was particularly helpful as I was working to a tight deadline.  The full report then arrived within a matter of hours.  The service was amazing both from Mark and Beverley who were lovely points of contact. Highly recommend

Julie Spalding, Sept 21

Hi Bev,   Just a quick line or two to thank you & Lance for all your help with the surveys. I am very grateful to you both & you have both gone above & beyond what one would expect. Lance has been outstanding, he leaves no stone unturned with his surveys, he isn't the cheapest but in my opinion he is the best & he saved me a small fortune, as without his expertise I would have bought a property that would have been 'a mill stone around my neck', where as I'm shortly moving into somewhere far better. Thank you both so much, I will be recommending you to any & everyone I know in need of your services.

Many thanks,

We instructed MS Surveys to carry out a Building Survey prior to purchasing our property. As a Chartered Surveyor myself, I can say that the inspection and the report produced were clear, comprehensive and detailed.  The time between the survey and delivery of the report was super quick and the surveyor responded in good time to a couple of report questions.  The outcome meant that we were able to re-negotiate the purchase price to account for unexpected repairs that were identified by the surveyor.  A safe pair of hands and very professional.

This is the third time we have used MS Surveys and every time we have had an excellent service and not had to wait too long for a survey which is great.  I am hoping our next move is our last, but if not we will be back.

L & E - May 2021

Dear Beverley,

We wanted to thank both yourself and Lance for the excellent service you provided for us. Everything from our initial enquiry to the survey and follow-up were handled with efficiency and care. As first-time buyers the survey seemed a daunting prospect, however, you made the whole process much easier and went above and beyond for us. We will certainly be recommending you to friends and family in the Colchester area.

Hi Beverley,

Many thanks for your email and amazing service that we have received from both you and Mark. My mother is going to contact you regarding a bungalow she is interested in.

Angela L - April 2021

Reassuringly old-school professional service. Excellent communication and swift response from the office staff (Bev/Nicky). And what can I say, Buyer Beware unless you have Lance Grainger in your corner. Went above and beyond, so approachable and generous with his time and expertise

Many thanks for sending the survey.

I feel I have received exemplary service from MS Surveys, from the very courteous first point of contact and how swiftly the original appointment was made, to the need to reschedule, then quality of survey report enabling me to make an informed decision about next steps.

With thanks and kind regards

Your surveyor was a real gentleman, and so lovely, so different to other surveyors – a real exception to the rule!  I am keeping your name for future reference!

Miss L. & Mr D.

All was very efficient, thank you. For your records, we purchased the property with £2,500 discount following information received in your report.

James N

Thank you. The survey is very detailed and informative but easy to read and follow (the colour coding is brilliant!)
The issues it raises are disappointing but hopefully not so major we have to pull out .
Many thanks for your work on this house.

Miss C.

Being a first time buyer is hard enough, especially when buying a Grade II listed house. I asked Mark from MS Surveys to carry out a RICS building survey on the house I was buying in May 2015. Mark inspected my property and issued a full report the next day. The report was extremely thorough and had photos so I could easily assess whether the property was worth proceeding with. Not only was Mark quick to respond to any queries, he also recently supported my application for my building insurance by answering specific questions I have had about the property months after the survey service was completed. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank Mark for all his help over the last few months! I will be recommending his service.

Dr S.

I'm very glad I had a Homebuyer's survey done. It was well worth the money, particularly as your survey report picked up so many issues with the house.

Jill P

Please send our thanks to the team for a very thorough survey.
We really appreciate it, and found it a very informative document. We enjoyed reading it!

Kind regards

Gavin - July 2020

Not that I am a regular reader or user of such reports, but I appreciate the detail contained and the call out items that are itemised in it.

We also greatly appreciated the call from Mark to go through the summary of his finding the week before.
We would have no hesitation in recommending MS Surveys for the service you have provided and in fact have already done so, into our Estate Agents.

Best regards

Laura - Feb 2021

Hi Beverley,
Thank you so much for the report, it came back much quicker than expected.  
Have been very impressed with your companies service and help throughout the process, and advice provided to us by the surveyor.
Thank you all.

N.G.

We complete on our purchase today and I wanted to drop you a line to thank you for all your assistance.  You report was singularly helpful.  It was also very good of you to deal so promptly and efficiently with the lenders queries.  I can honestly say that without this we would not have felt able to go ahead with the purchase.  As it is we are delighted with the house and are thoroughly looking forward to moving in.
If I may I will recommend you to friends and acquaintances in need of a good surveyor.

Stella - Feb 2021

just wanted to say that the guy who called us yesterday was just great. He explained to us about the survey, he discussed a few points and he took the time to answer our questions. We really appreciated talking to him and his professionalism.
