Reply from West One Chartered Building Surveyors
Thank you Marco, very much appreciated. I hope your move goes well.
What do you love most about your job?
Our job is incredibly varied, and needs to be to fulfil our clients requirements. We could be in Luton in the morning looking at a damp issue in a house, and in Knightsbridge in the afternoon surveying a town house for a buyer. It's a cliche we know, but every day is different. Different instructions, different buildings in different areas of the country. We don't have time to get bored and love every minute of it!
What inspired you to start your own business?
Neil started West One Surveyors in 2011 to offer a better service to clients that have suffered a peril, ie fire, flood, storm damage etc. having previously worked in a global form of loss adjusters. We know what we do and we do it well. The proof is in the pudding and the vast amount of instructions - over 95% are either repeat clients or referrals from old clients.
Why should our clients choose you?
We are completely independent, are good at what we do, and we are jolly nice chaps. We utilise the very latest equipment to help us with our services. We are a small firm so each instruction matters which is why your instruction will be valued regardless of size or location.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
