Report
I was not very satisfied. When I booked it assumed the report would be comprehensible and/or I would have the opportunity to talk to the surveyor. I reached out to have a conversation, but had no response. This meant we had to make a decision to abandon the purchase without a full understanding of the survey. The whole idea of the survey is to provide actionable insight, they didnt provide that. Since my initial review they have called me and offered a part refund. I might use them again as technically the report seems sound, but their customer contact feels weak and I hope they improve

Report
We were very satisfied with the Homebuyers Report from Mason Wright. It was very detailed and helped us to decide on other non-related surveys we should undertake before progressing with the property purchase. Staff who we spoke to were lovely and the survey itself was competitively priced.

Report
We recently used Mason Wright Associates for a RICS Homebuyers Report as first time buyers. Although we were initially sceptical as the quote was considerably cheaper than others, we could not have been happier with the service received. The report was to an incredibly high standard, including pictures to make the explanations as clear as possible, and it proved to be excellent value for money. We were able to use this report to support a renegotiation of price on the property and it has highlighted the next steps that we need to take as new homeowners. Thank you to all at Mason Wright Associates
