I worked with CKM Surveyors on both my property purchase and remortgage, and I must say they were professional and consistent throughout the entire process. Chris and Kate were especially helpful and informative. This was my first time using CKM, and I’ll definitely be using their services again for my next project.
Helen S.
Excellent from start to finish.

We had a level 3 survery carried out with Cockrams and it was incredibly thorough and filled with incredibly useful information for us. We really appreciated getting a full view of the property we are moving into and effectively a checklist of things that we need to look into for when we move in. An invaluable service.

We used Cockrams Surveyors to carry out a level 3 survey and valuation on the property we are purchasing. The service we received from start to finish has been impeccable with the reports completed to an exceptional level and returned in super quick time. Special thanks to Sue as she went above and beyond to help us and answered all my emails promptly & concisely. Five stars very well deserved.

We instructed Cockrams to carry out a level 3 survey and we are very pleased with the work carried out by Ed Warren. Ed’s report was very detailed and more then we expected, his report and conversations helped us greatly to understand the property and what the next beneficial steps would be. We would highly recommend them.

I have instructed this company professionally and was so impressed with their service and the detail of their report, I instructed them for a level 3 survey on the property I intend to purchase. The office team are friendly, prompt and efficient. The report very competitively priced and the level of detail was impressive, backed up with a catalogue of photos. As a lay person I found the report very easy to follow and was thoroughly impressed by how much time and research had been put into the survey. I do not hesitate to recommend this company, for peace of mind, professionalism and value for money. Thank you to Edward and your team.

Very professional and efficient. I very much appreciated the conversation with Ed after he'd finished his inspection especially as you're then not writing for the written report before progressing matters.

Very good services. Quick, competitive price and comprehensive report.
andrew B.
Wow… now that’s a report! Over 250 detailed photographs and a comprehensive 65 page report that was easy to read and very importantly understandable! House buying is stressful and fraught with uncertainties but our house buyers survey conducted and produced by Edward Warren has helped us tremendously. We can now make an informed decision about wether to proceed or not. Very very pleased with Cockrams, thank you

Madeleine J.
I'm so glad we decided to go with Cockrams as our surveyors for the property we wish to purchase. They were very prompt and the report was very thorough. I had complete faith in them, their honesty and integrity and the report is worth it's weight in gold in terms of it's helpfulness in showing us what improvements and work we need to do.
Stewart D.
Had a full building survey on a building that was part late 1800's and late 1990s. The survey was very thorough and picked up things that we had not noticed and overs that confirmed what we had already seen. There was best part of 50 plus photos showing what was looked at and commented accordingly on. Well written and in-depth survey with recommendations for our legal team and us to act upon.

Cockrams conducted a Homebuyer's Survey for me. The survey was conducted very soon after booking and for a very competitive price. The quality of report and extensive images taken were much appreciated and highly useful. Throughout I found this company to be very communicative, honest, helpful and polite. Their professionalism is to be applauded and I would recommend them without hesitation to others interested in services they provide.
Rich B.
Cockrams were able to arrange a survey for me in a timely manner, and for a reasonable cost. The results were more in depth, and accompanied by far more photographs than other reports I have had. All in all, an outstanding service, and one I highly recommend.
Peter M.
Requested a HomeBuyer Survey for property we were purchasing, following receipt of several quotations from other local surveyors. Cockrams provided the most competitive quote (not the cheapest, but far from the most expensive). As an additional bonus, Cockrams quote for Survey also included a valuation; this was a minimum of £150 plus VAT from those quotes we had sought. Our survey was conducted by Laurence and it was quite simply, the most comprehensive HomeBuyer Survey we have ever received ( we have had 6 such surveys carried out on properties over the last 3 years). In addition to the report, we also had a file of 207 photographs; however, disappointingly the link to these remains valid for only 7 days - Cockrams do offer to forward both a hard copy of the report and a disc containing all photographs - the disc being of little help to me however, as my Macbook does not have disc reader!One would expect all HomeBuyer Survey reports to be the same;from my experience, although the format is the same, each individual surveyor would appear to populate according to their expertise and experience.Also, the update and communication with Cockrams Admin Team appears faultless; I was kept updated at every stage of the process. Also, in my experience, Cockrams have been the only surveyors not to demand payment 'upfront' only that payment must be made before report is released - obviously, if you enter into a contract, you will be required to pay for the survey at some point, but it is refreshing that Cockrams do not ask for payment weeks or months before the survey is conducted.I cannot recommend Cockrams highly enough, in my limited experience, their service is second to none. I have alway, and will always continue to ask for 4 or 5 quotes, but Cockrams will always be on my short list and, should be on yours too!
Paul F.
Brilliant customer service, very friendly and happy to answer as many questions as you like. Professional and honest with the reports done in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend and would use again.
Sophie
Highly recommend these surveyors. Booked in initially for a building survey however a week before the survey I was informed by the lenders I needed a mundic test, and this was no hassle for Cockrams and they completed the test the same day as the survey. Both reports came back within 7 working days and were written in simple terms, which as a first time buyer with limited knowledge in houses, really helped determine exactly what I was taking on with the property. They were worth every penny!
Nick G.
Cockrams have been superb. We've used them for three different surveys now and they have always been very thorough and very quick in providing their reports. They couldn't be an easier company to deal with and the quality (and speed!) of service is outstanding. Would highly recommend using them.
William H.
I recently received a full building survey from Cockrams, conducted by Mr. Alan Alker.The survey was comprehensive and full of advice regarding potential areas of future maintenance.I was also able to speak with Alan, and he went above and beyond in talking through his entire report, offering further help in understanding some of the subtler points of the survey. He was also able to give me some recommendations for various local companies to speak with about the further work required.As someone buying a listed building for the first time, I found the report and conversation with Alan immensely helpful. If you are in the position of buying an older, traditionally built property, I would certainly recommend Cockrams, and in particular Alan.I would also like to say both Nicole and Nick in the office were professional and very helpful in arranging and facilitating the survey.
daphne M.
Cockrams is an excellent company which provided us with a brilliant service. Office staff were friendly and very helpful and surveyors Alan and Liam professional and thorough. Report was produced promptly. I would recommend without hesitation.
Ben S.
A fantastic service provided by Cockrams. They were super helpful, professional, and diligent. Clearly experts in their field, they were able to provide us with clarity and concise guidance at every step. They were really accomodating of our timescales, and produced a very finished building survery report for us, with a quick turnaround time. I can't recommend them highly enough - much appreciated.
Hergest H.
My Owner and I used Cockrams for a very detailed survey of a house near Truro. My Owner was extremely happy with the service, both the quality and depth and the timeliness. My Owner also commented that the survey was more thorough than we had expected - even checking out the drainage (as a Dog this is normally my job). My Owner says she would thoroughly recommend Cockrams.
Paul G.
We arranged the Homebuyers survey remotely and found the service professional and the communications were very good. The report was detailed and covered the property accurately and included lots of photographs. I thought the surveyor reported the property without bias and I now have the information required to make an informed decision on whether to proceed with the purchase. Thank you.
Jack W.
Great surveyors, really thorough building survey, Ed was really helpful. Very professional throughout- highly recommended!
Jacqueline S.
Cockrams provided an amazing professional service. Our report was very detailed, informative and helpful. Delivered in a very quick and timely manner.

The administration team couldn’t be helpful enough with guiding me through the process for the right service for our needs. A1 Service and 100% recommended.
