Dreadful
Paid £400 for a market valuation.
It took a week for the report. When it arrived it contained the wrong address and a valuation that was ridiculously low.
When challenged he just says it is a draft. What is the point of paying £400 if he cannot value a simple studio flat.
I have another survey from a reputable firm which shows that his valuation is over 40% below the market value. I have referred to RICS as he refused to provide complaints procedure and was rude on the phone.
Currently taking to court to get a refund.
Do not use - you have been warned.
