“When an issue came up about a boundary fence I share with my neighbour, I contacted Mr Long who encouraged me to first try to reach an agreement with my neighbour. However, when the matter seemed to be getting worse, I called him out; he carried out a survey and sent me his report within a few days. I now have some assurance and peace of mind”

“We engaged EyeSurvey to help prepare a full survey report for a new property purchase. The report was thorough, well structured and easy to understand. The process was also extremely quick and easy – we engaged EyeSurvey on a Friday, they attended the property for inspection the following Tuesday and we had the final report less than 24 hours later. Would definitely recommend and use them again”

“Les was very helpful and informative when asked about a survey on my first home. We got a level 2 homebuyers survey and the results were comprehensive and informative. Would definitely use again when we move in future”

“We used Les to carry out the survey for our house purchase. Les talked us through the surveyors process and the different levels of home buyer report options, which helped us decide which one best suited the style and period of property to be surveyed.

Once we received the report, which is meticulously written in plain English, Les talked us through each section and answered our questions, providing advice where he could. I highly recommend Les and would happily use his company again.”

“Les was very knowledgeable and did a thorough job. I highly recommend using Eyesurvey for valuations. Very responsive and produced our report really quickly.”

“Dear Mr Les Long,

Thank you very much for your expert opinion and highly professional approach to the valuation of our property! We are very pleased with your work and we will be happy to recommend your firm to anyone who may need your services.

Yours sincerely,”

Dear Mr Long,

“Great, great thanks for your further professional advice and explanations. Your patience to read our lengthy email is truly appreciated. I should undoubtedly introduce you to my friends and relatives who plan to buy a house in Colchester in the very near future.

Best Wishes.”

“Good morning Leslie,

Thank you for your valuation report, you were comprehensive and clear in your findings. We are very happy with the service provided and would genuinely have no hesitation in contacting you again should the occasion arise. Please feel free to use this honest email as a testimonial where you choose.

Kind regards,”

“Dear Mr Long,

Apologies for not contacting you sooner but wanted to see how things might pan out first. With my son, a builder, we studied your report and arranged for the “ experts “ to visit and produce their reports, we then produced our own pointing out the salient points to the Vendors, after which we have managed to secure a substantial reduction in the asking price, which will cover the cost plus of the works you advised should be completed. I have to say that when we discussed your report with my Solicitor and other trades people, your name and reputation was regarded in the highest esteem.

Thank you,”

“Thank you so much for the report. It looks very thorough and is greatly appreciated. It all appears to make sense and we are going to investigate a little further into some of the areas you raised. We knew the house would need some work doing to it and therefore a lot of what you have raised is not necessarily a surprise to us (though we shall arrange a follow up viewing just to see what we think we would need to do to make good). If we feel we need any further clarification we shall come back to you.”

“Les is very dedicated to his work, he has a vast amount of knowledge and I would consider him as one of the best in the area. He is always polite and pleasant in his interactions. I used his services on more than one occasion and the work carried out was very detailed, with a quick turn around and to a high standard. I will definitely recommend Les and his company. Thank you very much.”

“We received a wonderful service from Eyesurvey, we cannot recommend them enough. From our first phone call, Les was very efficient and helpful, willing to answer any questions we may have had. Thankfully, our survey was booked in fairly quickly, and we were kept updated on any progress made. We would not hesitate to use Eyesurvey again with any future house purchases. Thank you again for your services!”

“I contacted Leslie at Eyesurvey for a quote for a valuation for Help to buy. He was very responsive at getting back to me, and then once I accepted the quote my appointment was booked in within a timely manner – the survey was carried out smoothly following COVID guidelines and I received my report in just 5 days. I would highly recommend this company. Thank you.”

“I rang Eyesurvey on Friday to ask for a homebuyer’s survey and valuation report. I spoke to Les (Long), who fully explained the process to me, so I knew exactly what to expect. The price he quoted was competitive and there were no hidden costs. He undertook the survey on Monday (the next working day), and the full report was with me (and a copy sent to my solicitor) by Wednesday. I was incredibly impressed with the swift and professional service I received and would highly recommend Eyesurvey to anybody buying a house.”

“Many thanks for meeting us on Monday and for your e-mail. It was good to hear the thoughts and comments from someone with your depth of experience. We will arrange the works per your recommendations.
Best wishes,”

“I have used Les on several occasions. Always very professional, organised and with an eye for detail. I have no hesitation in recommending his services.”

“Fast turn around and great quality detailed building survey completed highlighting many things I will need to take action on as well as lots of good advise on things I need to be aware of for the future. Thanks very much.”

“I was recommended to use this firm by a friend in the mortgage industry to undertake an RICS Homebuyer’s Report. Leslie Long was very professional and, although there were no major faults, his report detailed a number of issues that needed looking at that only a very experienced eye could have noticed. Thoroughly recommended.”

“Hi Les,

Thank you for the report and getting this back to me so quickly. We will have a read through and I’m sure we will be in contact to discuss the points raised and so seek advice for contractors to obtain quote through.
Kind regards,”

“Hi Les. We really appreciate your swift completion of the report, Thank you”

“Many thanks for the quick turn around of the report.

Kind regards,”

“Dear Les, I’m glad that are you able to help him. I could not think of anyone better to advise him on structural problems.

Kind Regards,”

“Many thanks for the quick turn around of the report.

Kind regards,”

“Dear Mr Long,

Yes it is the external woodwork outside. I really appreciate your advice. It is invaluable I have been on to my solicitor to get a price. As you say I can’t possibly purchase the flat without knowing this figure! If it does not work out, I will definitely use your services again. I phoned another Surveyor in Colchester before you and he just quoted a figure. He did not tell me what I would get for my money as you did. You explained everything to me very thoroughly. Thank you once again.

With kind regards,”

Hi Leslie,

We would just like to say a big thank you for all your hard work over the past few weeks relating to our survey.

Your friendly professional approach was very reassuring to us at this stressful time and as such we would highly recommend your services.”

Les,

Firstly thank you for coming round to briefly survey my property. It is with relief that I read your summary note confirming you could not see anything structurally deficient. It was a pleasure talking with you and I’d like to add that both my wife and I considered you both professional and very personable. I will be recommending and using you and the company in future.”

Dear Les

We just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you for once again providing your professional services by way of a home buyers report.

You provided us with your expert opinion and assistance prior to instruction to assist us in determining the most appropriate survey to have undertaken.

We would have no hesitation in recommending you to our clients and look forward to doing more business with you in future.

Yours sincerely,”

When it comes to property surveys, I would highly recommend Les Long for his professional approach and unrivalled knowledge as a Residential and Commercial Surveyor.

Les is not only a true professional but a good friend whom I would recommend to every home owner.

I was recommended to you due to your thoroughness and you have delivered a flawless service that lived up to all expectation and at a competitive price.
