What Our Clients Say
Christian Reilly
Great Survey completed by Nick at Chesterton Smart. I don’t have much experience in reviewing level 2 survey’s. However, Nick presented the survey in a well detailed report that removed any jargon, and was very clear on areas of focus on the property we are purchasing. Nick completed the survey in a quick turnaround time and I was also able to follow up with him on the phone after work hours to discuss the report in further detail. Great value for money. I would recommend Nick to all my friends and family.

After calling around many RICS surveyors, we decided on Chesterton Smart. From the initial phone conversation, Nick was informative and explained the process. We decided on a level 3 survey and glad that we did, as this showed us the additional areas of the property of which would not of been accounted for additional works.
The Chesterton Smart service was professional and clear, Nick was communicative and very knowledgeable, helping in deciding the path on our first home.

We were approached by Chesterton Smart Chartered Building Surveyor to tender for the full refurbishment of Loughborough Building Society’s New Head Office.
Nick had been working closely with The Society, and it was evident that he had taken the time to fully understand their requirements for their space, and as such was able to produce an all-encompassing set of tender documents which we were able to work with.

Our experience with Nick from Chesterton Smart has been nothing short of excellent. Nick is prompt, clear, professional and personable in his communications. He delivered a detailed level 2 home buyer’s report within 1 week of our initial request. The report itself is extensive and worth it’s weight in gold, highlighting a number of issues and advisory points which helped us in deciding the property was not for us.

I had an excellent experience using Chesterton Smart to undertake a home buyers survey for a house I purchased in Leicestershire. Mr Riozzi was easy to contact and personable. The survey itself was comprehensive and gave me a very good idea of the condition of the property as well as any issues to raise through my solicitor. I would highly recommend Chesterton Smart.

”The survey undertaken on our behalf was sufficiently clear and thorough to allow us, the client an informed opinion concerning the property. In this case we decided not to proceed with the purchase as the survey had exposed serious flaws that were not obvious to the naked eye, thus stopping us from making a mistake.”
