We recently used Lockwood Chartered Surveyors for a Level 3 Building Survey on a property we were looking to purchase, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the service provided. From start to finish, it was a professional, thorough, and reassuring experience.

Andrew, delivered an incredibly detailed and comprehensive report that covered every aspect of the property — from structural integrity related to the potential roofing issue (mentioned below) to smaller maintenance issues we wouldn’t have known to look for. The report was well organised, clear, and easy to understand, even for those without a background in property or construction.

What really stood out, though, was Andrew’s availability after the survey. He took the time to speak with both me and my partner, patiently talking us through the report, answering our questions, and explaining which issues we might want to investigate further. That personal touch gave us so much confidence and clarity moving forward.

We also opted for the aerial package, which turned out to be a great decision. The drone footage uncovered a missing ridge tile on the roof — something that wasn’t visible during our viewing due to access. Without that insight, we could easily have missed a potentially costly issue.

I would absolutely recommend Lockwood Surveys to anyone needing a truly in-depth and expert Level 3 survey. The combination of technical knowledge, clear communication, and excellent customer service made what can often be a stressful process feel manageable and well-supported.

Many thanks again for all your help Andrew.

Andrew was great from start to finish of the process. He completed a level 3 survey for me at short notice which helped me beat the deadline for change in stamp duty. The level of detail the report went into was beyond my expectations and all queries I raised were answered swiftly. 10/10 service

We were delighted with the service delivered. Clear communication from the outset and throughout the process. And a truly comprehensive, well-presented, easy-to-understand report with clear recommendations for actions should we proceed to purchase.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Lockwood Surveyors.

I needed a level 3 RICS survey on a beautiful house I was very keen to purchase.
From first contact to production of the survey report, Andrew Lockwood provided a prompt and very professional service. I opted to have his additional aerial survey by drone, due to the age of the property and flat roof over a newer extension.
The survey report was thorough, with detailed explanations re identified defects and points to follow up on re cost and for my solicitor.
His survey was worth every penny, as it informed my decision not to proceed with the purchase despite loving the property, due to the costly repairs required and environmental concerns.
I definitely recommend Andrew Lockwood.

I had a great experience with Lockwood, Andrew was communicative, friendly, and I had no issues whatsoever with the service. I received a detailed report from the level 3 survey, letting me know the necessary details and giving advice on what to do now.

10/10 service from Lockwood Surveyors. Andrew was great at communicating with us throughout. He provided a comprehensive survey which answered all of our questions. He sent us over the report in quick time with detailed sections on every aspect you could imagine. Smooth, no nonsense process. Couldn’t have asked for a simpler/easier experience - it has helped us greatly with buying our first home. Thank you!
