Countrywide Surveying Services

Do not waste your money on them! As with plenty of the other reviewers, Countrywide's surveying was an absolute waste of time. Came to my property, had a look around for 5 minutes and gave me a valuation absolutely miles off of the prices in my local area. Completely useless customer team, interacting with them was as useful as running on a hamster wheel.

Applied for a further advance with our lender (Natwest) who unfortunately use Countrywide as the valuer. Undervalued our property by around 70k. The valuer was in the property for around 5 minutes, did not walk around, did not go into any of the rooms and then left. Had 3 estate agents and an independent surveyor value the property at the amount we had applied for and more, appealed with Countrywide who responded within a day saying 3 more senior staff had looked at it and supported the initial valuation. I do not believe the supporting evidence I supplied had been looked at by 3 people within a day, especially given the amount of complaints it appears this company get! Absolute scam - avoid at all costs and any lenders who use them.

I paid for a valuation in order to staircase my property- the surveyor himself was lovely and professional. However the service I have received since has been far from it. I would never recommend this company to anyone and I advise anyone paying out of their own pocket to go with someone else and they have no interest in helping you once the money hits their account.

Apparently they send valuers out who dont seem to know the area. Our neighbours house was deemed un mortgageable. Due to an almost derelict pub over the road from us. I approached the pub owners for confirmation that the building was to be demolished and the valuers were advised but they would not change their minds. We have lived in the village for years with no problems while it was open or since its closed. These valuers also took a valuation for a second attempt for a buyer to obtain a mortgage and they sent out the same woman (why bother wasting more peoples time money and causing stress) Absolute rubbish there are 20 now booked to view the property so looks like only cash buyers . Does this not say an awful lot of people do not agree with her valuation

Only having appointments during the week and 9-1 is such a bad way of running a business when you deal with the general public who work during those hours. They can't do surveys on weekends so ask you to take time off to accommodate them. Would avoid at all costs.
