Shepherd Chartered Surveyors Reviews 

Good service, reliable, reasonable price for Home report, I have used Shepherds before and they gave me a good service then, hence why I have used them again.

It was easy to make the appointment and it happened quickly. The surveyor was very pleasant and respectful. He was clearly experienced and asked us questions about the property too

The process was so easy and the team helpful. Using the Internet to provide details made things so much easier and efficient

On time, courteous - the price is the price

Great overall customer relations from Kevin Angus during survey, and the excellent help I received from Jason Begg in sourcing a Surveyor.
All over 100% happy with Service

Quick efficient service. Many thanks

Stuart was friendly and very professional and explained everything in detail

The team at the Fraserburgh branch were very helpful,kind and couthy indeed and helped Me every step of the way in getting My home report completed.
Alan Kennedy was a professional in every aspect of the word and did the job to a high standard.I also got a discount because I had used Shepherds before,thank you for making this time as easy for me as possible. Helen Grace Weber.pk

The survey was organised very well and the surveyor turned up in the given time slot. The survey process went fine, but it was done on a Thursday afternoon and I had to wait until two Mondays after this was done to receive my home report, basically seven working days and two weekends. This was in my mind too long. The surveyor told me the value a couple of hours before releasing the home report, as it was a bit less than I'd hoped, I asked if it could be upped a bit. I was told a very flat no. It was pushing the value as it was. This may be the case, but I had absolutely no input into the valuation figure. I went with Shepherd as I'd heard favourable reports about the company. After this experience, if I ever need a surveyor again, or get asked to recommended one, I will not be putting Shepherd forward.

Survey was carried out very efficiently and professionally

With the friendly and helpful receptionist Leeanne.
And the professional surveyor

Who put us at ease as selling a home is very stressful

No hesitation using this company again. All staff pleasant and helpful, many thanks again.

Turned up at appointment on time, thorough in their survey of my home. Very professional in their appearance and interaction and report was comprehensive and made available in a timely manner.

Seamless process, from booking appointment, through to survey and home report approval. Online portal perfect for taking you through every stage of process including final document and payment.

Surveyor carried out the work in a very courteous and professional manner. It was completed in timely fashion, very soon after the request, with no disruption to the house. A fully comprehensive report was provided less than 48 hours from the survey being carried out.

Excellent service , very polite , quick and thorough would highly recommend

After two years Shepherd Chartered Surveyors were found to have provided us with a Level II Valuation and Survey that failed to identify numerous defects within the property. A payout was made. would not recommend the service.

Phoned Shepherds Surveyors on the 9/01/23 wanting a valuation.
I received email agreeing to terms and conditions read it and sent email on the 10/01/23 .
And never heard anything which I feel is rude and bad mannered.
I am just off the phone after being told I have maybe fallen through the net !!
If we were all to fall through the net would they still be in business I asked .
Purple Bricks Estate Agents actually recommend this company.. which leads to two questions
1. Does your property need to be in the process of going to market…. Which mine isn’t.
2. Do Purple Bricks have a vested interest in Shepherds Surveyors …

Where do I start? This company has no professionalism in anything they do. They issued a home report with majority category 1s only a few number 2s. However, having purchased the property it was evident they failed to note any defects and this has lead to a substantial cost requiring structures to be rebuilt and should have been 3s. Having taken this through their complaints procedure rather than holding their hands up and admit their failings they tried to offer some child like excuses. Having now taken it through CEDR they noted that 'the company failed to provide its services to the standard reasonably expected regarding the
Single Survey' Even during the complaints process they couldn't even be bothered to adhere to timelines. They hide behind communications with no name. They shouldn't be in business. Warning- do not use them their reports are not worth anything.

They claimed "EPCs over 12 weeks old are not valid for marketing" Scottish Government say they are valid for 10 years! They gave us a new one which is different from what we have (generated less than a year ago!). They say "they did not have U-Values so they generated it by default" how could you generate an EPC without knowing what U-Values are????!!!!! This is the level of professionalism and honesty from this firm!
