What Our Clients Say
Dear Gavin, Thank you for completing the survey so thoroughly and providing such a comprehensive report.
I am so pleased that I requested this survey and thank you again for your comprehensive report.Mrs R. Gibbins, 13.01.2025.
Thank you for the very thorough report you have forwarded. We have read it and consider that there is nothing adverse enough to affect our decision to purchase. The suggestions for legal enquiries are most comprehensive and, in fact, some of them have already been flagged for attention by the solicitor. All in all, an uplifting experience rather than the depression inducing opus we received last time!! Many Thanks.C & S Hitchin, 17.10.2024.

"My son Christopher had the very good fortune to be recruited by Gavin as a Graduate Surveyor 12 months ago. It has been a pleasure to witness his personal development and growth since then. He has enjoyed a fabulous learning experience working for Gavin, whose nurturing approach has been very evident every step of the way. He goes to work with a smile on his face and a spring in his step.
(Gavin, any chance you could move on to sharing your gardening tips with Chris next, please?)" David Lewis Senior Partner at Weightmans Solicitors LLP, 15.07.2021

A.Price, Wirral 6/05/16
I am writing on behalf of a client who wanted to work with a surveyor to help them manage a building project to thank Gavin for his pro-active management of the project to date.
Gavin has liaised with the client and an architect to obtain outline planning permission - hence increasing the value of the site- and has come up with a number of options for developing the site once planning is approved.
This is an ongoing assignment and the client is delighted with the pro-active, professional manner in which Gavin has navigated matters to date and has thanked me personally for the introduction.
John Hunt FCA Pursglove & Brown Chartered Accountants 9/03/15
Many thanks for your comprehensive report. Having investigated the rear WC based upon your report it is clearly an illegal construction as no plans ever went in. Many thanks again for your work and I can assure you that any other work required of this nature will be instructed to yourself. Regards, Mark
Mark Higgins, Chester 10/12/2014
I am writing to thank you and to provide testimony for the excellent work which you have carried out recently for my client.
My client is seeking to raise additional finance against the existing equity in my clients property in a relatively short period of time and in order to satisfy the terms of the equity release provider, my client needed to either extend the existing term of the lease or purchase the freehold but had no idea which of those options to proceed with.
By undertaking the complicated and detailed assessment of the property valuation in a speedy manner and perhaps more importantly, in a way that enabled my client to easily understand the issues involved, my client is able to make an informed decision as to how to proceed.
I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to clients in future and indeed intend to continue to do so.
Thank you again for your assistance.

Gavin has been a valuable member of the Homebuyer Online surveying network, providing high quality survey reports within strict speed of service requirements. He has a detailed knowledge of property in his area of operation and his company Deesurveys is recommended.
Hugh Greenhouse FRICS - Managing Director Of Homebuyer On Line
& Chartered Surveyor 12/03/2013
I recently instructed Gavin Floyd of DEESURVEYS to carry out a full structural survey on a property which my son is in the process of buying and which is in need of complete renovation. Gavins extensive survey was detailed, informative and presented in a helpful, 'easy to understand' format, whilst his fee was most reasonable. I can confidently recommend DEESURVEYS to any new client and would be happy for them to contact me directly should they wish to do so.
Rob Brookfield, Grosvenor Designs 11/03/2013

My wife and I are very happy with your timely and professional response to our request and feel that the reports have been clear, thorough and most helpful. In particular, your invitation to discuss any aspect of the report by telephone (while unnecessary in the most recent instance) was very reassuring and your service is very competitively priced. We would not hesitate to recommend Deesurveys to friends and others.
