Horde

We used HORDE for a home buyers survey. They were professional, efficient and gave us the confidence proceed with the sale knowing the house we were buying was in great shape! As this was the first time we have used a homebuyers survey it was great to know that someone was there to guide us through the process and supply us with a very detailed report. Would certainly recommend and use them in the future.

Very odd and suspicious behaviour, beware. If you use these you might get some money off, but more likely your sale will fall through for no good reason. We had a great survey on the house we were selling from another buyer, but because of problems with their own house, the sale fell through. With our new buyers doing a new survey with Horde, Horde highlighted and red-flagged a load of issues that it was plain to see simply didn't exist or apply to our house at all. Even more suspicious, the buyer phoned up and asked for a £10K reduction in the house price BEFORE horde published their survey. I politely called to discuss it with them, and they said they would call back, but of course didn't. Either negligent, incompetent or (as I personally suspect)....worse.

We had an excellent experience with Horde surveyors who did a Level 3 survey for us on a Victorian conversion flat in London. From start to finish, the service was highly professional, with Matthew Dollery contacting us in advance to enquire about any questions we had. His report was clear and comprehensive with excellent attention to detail and impartiality. We would highly recommend.

This company should not be trusted - and be scared if you’re having your house surveyed by them. Were employed by people buying our house and there were clear motives for the sale to fall through or for the buyer to demand money off the property. To give some background, we had a survey on the property when buying it and we have had two since, one from a potential buyer a year ago, and one now from our new buyer - both Level 3 surveys - not highlighting any of the supposed major issues with highlighted by this surveyor. Also rude and noisy when visiting the property in which they spent 4 hours! As I say, clear motives at play.
