Poor Experience with Survey Reports
Inaccurate and Incomplete Reports
The reviewers express their disappointment and frustration with the survey reports provided by the company. According to Rotti Dog, the report failed to document significant faults and defects in the house, which led to unexpected remedial work costing thousands of pounds. The report was deemed incomplete and inaccurate, missing crucial issues that would have affected the purchase decision.
Missed Defects and Omissions
The surveyor missed critical defects, including water staining, ceiling collapse, and broken double glazing. Rotti Dog highlights the oversight of a pivoting Velux window that won't open due to its design flaw. Eliza Popperwell also experienced a similar issue, where the surveyor failed to indicate the need for rewiring in the 1970s house.
Negative Consequences
The inaccurate reports resulted in significant financial losses and emotional distress for the reviewers. Rotti Dog spent 30,000 on remedial work, including rebuilding the conservatory and replacing the shower unit. Eliza Popperwell had to commission additional reports and undertake rewiring work. The reviewers express anger and frustration at the lack of transparency and communication during the complaints process.
Communication Breakdown
The reviewers criticize the company's communication, citing delays and inadequate responses during the complaints process. Rotti Dog describes the experience as "very unpleasant and costly" and hopes that others will avoid similar issues.
