Our Feedback.

“We recently engaged Nick Brown of Ashridge Surveyors as joint surveyors to establish a Party Wall Award/Agreement with respect to our building project. Nick did a first class job, acting in a highly professional manner, that served to inspire confidence and reassurance. In this engagement, he was required to work to extremely demanding timescales and was able to conduct his survey and produce high quality deliverables within a 24 period – service above and beyond the call of duty in our view. We will be recommending Nick to others who ask us for a reference, and have no hesitation in providing this testament of the excellent services he provided us. “

“Following a referral, Welwyn Parish Council were put in touch with Ashridge Surveyors for valuation work on their various properties. This led to the production of comprehensive 10 year management plans for these venues and further assistance in more specialist areas. Nick’s expertise and knowledge around various areas have helped Council make informed decisions on projects. I can thoroughly recommend Ashridge Surveyors.”

– Louise Harrison, Welwyn Parish Council

“Following our request for Nick to carry out a building survey for us in Norfolk he responded immediately and made an appointment to visit although the property was some distance away. Once the survey was complete he took time to go through it with us and answer any questions we had so we had a good understanding of the condition of the property. This is the second time we have used his service. We have found Nick to be pleasant and easy to deal with.”

We’ve used Ashridge Surveyors on a number of occasions and can say their detailed reports are far and away more in-depth than any other survey we have had in the past. We really appreciated the level of detail provided, rather than the “drop down” surveys we have had in the past and the annotated photos and diagrams made it far easier to understand the points being raised.Nick is super helpful and happily took the time to speak with us to expand on some of the points we were concerned about and put us at ease with our purchase. We’ve happily recommended Ashridge Surveyors to our friends and family and will definitely use them again.

We recently engaged Nick to conduct a Level 3 homebuyer's survey, following a recommendation from another engineer who was unavailable. Among the quotes we received, Nick's pricing was very competitive. He coordinated with the estate agent directly, ensuring a smooth and efficient process. We received a concise summary email followed by the full report within the promised 10 days.Nick's inspection was very detailed, uncovering several issues with the property. He generously spent considerable time explaining these issues to my wife and me, being very patient and thorough in addressing our questions and providing practical advice. He also discussed approximate repair costs, enabling us to successfully renegotiate the property's price to factor in these expenses.We highly recommend Nick and will not hesitate to use his services again in the future.

We first used Nick Brown at Ashridge Surveyors a few years ago, for a party wall agreement that we needed to get done at short notice when building a house extension. Nick was really helpful getting this sorted out quickly.We have also sought his advice with a subsequent boundary issue. His guidance was very prompt and freely given.We recommended his services to a friend, who was also building an extension. He sorted out their party wall agreement quickly resolving some issues with tricky neighbours.

Throughout our home buying search in the local area, we used Nick Brown at Ashridge Surveyors who carried out a total of 3 level 3 home-buyer surveys for us. His attention to detail, professionalism and down to earth approach was integral to our decision in buying the right property. Nick's surveys were extremely thorough and he went above and beyond, advising us of additional work that could be done to improve the property and was happy to answer any further questions we had. His rates were extremely competitive and the turnaround time was quick on each occasion. Additionally Nick is a really nice guy who's highly approachable and aims to guide his clients in layman's terms so that you can fully understand the complexities of his findings.

I would highly recommend Nick’s services - 10/10. Thank you very much, Nick, for your excellent work.

Nick Brown conducted the survey, and I must say, his attention to detail was exceptional. Nick demonstrated professionalism and expertise, as he thoroughly examined every aspect of the property and provided clear, comprehensive insights into its condition. Thanks to both Nick and Lisa, we now feel confident moving forward with our property purchase. Highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable surveyor!
