this isn't so much a dig at walker Dunn but really all "surveyors" in hindsight I wouldn't have paid £500 for something I could have done myself. I think I was a little naive thinking it would protect us if we did come across something but it doesn't. When viewing a house spend time checking things like the boiler, consumer unit, floors, damp, cracks in walls, etc. things weren't picked up on by walker Dunn and it's cost myself and my partner ££££ since we moved in back in August(new boiler and electrics which were unsafe) and the floors which have a lot of bounce in them and could potentially cost to fix in the future. just do it yourself and spend what you save on any repairs you my come across once you've moved in.

I’ve worked with Ed twice now. He is excellent - will work with again. Admin team is good too - responsive. Full marks!

Great service from the initial call. The surveyor Paul was very professional and friendly. 10/10 thanks

Excellent service. Quick to survey, knowledgable and comprehensive report delivered in clear and methodical way. Report was quickly published, followed by a call offering any support with questions or queries. Everyone you speak with can’t do enough for you. Polite, knowledgeable and keeping you informed of what is or will happen. Customer communications are top notch. I have high standards, I’m very impressed with this company. I would 100% recommend and use again myself.

Excellent experience

I received good communication from the surveyor and the admin team prior to the survey being booked in. The survey was completed on the agreed date, and I was pleasantly surprised to receive the comprehensive and well written report the evening of the same day. I will definitely recommend Walker Dunn. Great service, good value for money. I am very satisfied. Thank you

Did everything they said they would do - when they said they would do it. Report was very accurate as I have since found when stripping the building back to shell. Excellent value for money as it gave me the required evidence to negotiate a discount.

I really appreciate your team , esp., Yvonne Wood- quick response, efficiency and above all professionalism. I have 3 properties done by you lately and I am VERY satisfied by the professional opinions by your surveyors. Really very professional n spot on the points according to the ACTUAL conditions of the 3 houses. Thank you n definitely I would recommend to my group of ppl who do investment in UK.

We recently used Walker Dunn to conduct a Building Survey. The business is excellent for delivering competitive quotes quickly and booking dates for a surveyor to visit the property. We specifically wanted a surveyor that was familiar with Victorian houses that been affected by flooding in Carlisle. We received the survey report on time and it appeared to contain generic copy/paste warnings and a few photos of the property. There was nothing specific about the property that would trigger the need to get a specialist damp assessment. When we actually moved into the house we found obvious areas of damp and issues specific to the house that should have been observed by the surveyor and detailed in the survey report. Contacted Walker Dunn, left a message but no-one spoke to us regarding the issues but responded via email quoting the generic/copy paste warnings that were in the report. It was certainly not worth paying extra for a Building Survey. We are not pursuing further because by taking a low cost quote we've concluded 'you get what you pay for'.

I’ve had two homebuyer surveys through Walker Dunn and on both occasions they have worked swiftly and provided detailed reports which have helped me avoid expensive mistakes. The surveyor I dealt with, Sheryl, was happy to take phone calls after the survey was complete to address any queries which was hugely valuable to me as a first time homebuyer.

Good quality professional report delivered in a timely manner. Like the traffic light method of highlighting any issues

Yvonne was really helpful throughout the whole process, Morgan who carried out the service was really quick at coming back to me to answer any queries. He also called me to explain the whole process before he carried out the Survey. I was really impressed by the service that i recommended to a friend who also used Walker Dunn for her Survey.

Yvonne was fantastic throughout the process, so helpful and friendly. Loved her customer service. The survey itself was really useful, and thorough. The surveyor also took the time to chat me through a few questions that I had and was really flexible and friendly. Thank you! House buying is proving very stressful and I appreciate how timely you were and how available you were at getting back to us. Not many people are!

Friendly firm, competitive prices. Easy to read and understand report which was produced within 48hrs. Surveyor happy to talk through points raised and also advise about renegotiation of price. Would use again.

Quick and professional service

Excellent service from start to finish. Initially dealt with Yvonne who promptly dealt with request for quote and in taking property details for the survey. First house purchase fell through and I contacted Yvonne to arrange a new survey. Received reports on both occasions very quickly. Would not hesitate to recommend Walker Dunn. Special thanks to Yvonne.

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They gave me so much more information than any other surveyor I enquired with, and were available to answer questions the whole way along. As a first time buyer who knew nothing about the process, this was a godsend! The surveyor was brilliant. He wrote a really detailed report, covered everything we wanted, and was even available on the phone to answer follow-up questions. I couldn't recommend this company more!

Great service! Survey both times completed within couple of weeks of contact and the findings explained in detail.

Prompt, efficient service. Very impressed from start to finish. Managed to bring survey forward which really helped us out. Survey report very informative and easy to follow. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Excellent friendly, professional service and help as we were so unsure initially what we needed for our house purchase. Being able to see the different types of home- buying reports and surveys to compare was brilliant and really helpful. Everyone who helped us were friendly and approachable.
