I used Mortimer and Carey and was very pleased. I got their "Building Survey" which was very comprehensive and entirely written for my property (i.e. no cut and paste).


If you are just getting a valuation, then which company you use doesn't really matter, but if you wanting a more comprehensive report then do select carefully and never use the ones recommended by mortgage providers.

Loz say.."If you are just getting a valuation, then which company you use doesn't really matter,.."


Actually, it does because if the surveyor is not local and, after 9 moves, I have found that they often aren't, then you are in danger of having an inaccurate valuation.

Too high and you will need a bigger mortgage or a larger deposit, too low and you end up having to re-negotiate, something the vendors might not agree to.

Estate agents are meant to show the valuers comparative sales data to shore up their view that your property is worth X but we know how different estate agents can be in their practices...

Sorry - should have been more specific. I was talking about the post offer acceptance valuation that mortgage companies require. A 'too high' valuation at this point is rather irrelevant (except to give you a feelgood feeling).


Most valuers come in, ask you what you paid and, in most cases, agree with that value.

    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
