Professional & Chartered Surveyors

I have been working with Graham from GDA Surveys for the past year on 5+ legal projects, and I am extremely impressed with the level of service he has provided. GDA has provided the property surveys that sit alongside the legal due diligence process for corporate acquisitions. His responsiveness, turnaround time, and quality of work are the best in the industry, and he has consistently exceeded my expectations. In addition to being a pleasure to work with, Graham has also developed a fantastic relationship with my clients and team. He is always willing to go above and beyond to ensure that our projects are completed to the highest standard, and he has become a valuable referal partner. I highly recommend Graham and GDA Surveys for anyone in need of property survey services. He is a true professional and a pleasure to work with.

Thank you very much for getting this back to us so quickly. Having gone through the survey we are relieved to see that this house is in a much better condition than the last place. Thanks for all the advice. Your service has been fantastic!

In the time I have known Graham he has shown himself to me to be extremely conscientious and professional with a pragmatic approach to ensuring that the best possible outcomes for customers are identified, evolved and delivered.

Graham has been a huge help completing a survey on my first home. The survey was easy to organise and the report I received was extremely detailed, including great quality photos of the property and much appreciated advice on how to proceed with my purchase.

Dedicated and diligent, Graham has a detailed understanding of the property and facilities management industry and approaches issues with a strong but fair commercial bias.

Graham has been a massive help. I would not have been able to deal with the insurance company or building contractors without him 10/10.

Thank you for getting the survey back to us so quickly. The survey is brilliant, so much detail and a lot for us to think about.

Many thanks indeed for undertaking the much-needed critical evaluation. Your subsequent professional report was delivered promptly, was crystal clear for us non-surveyors to understand, and included key photos of the areas needing to be addressed, together with your estimate of rectification costs.

Good morning Graham, Sincere thanks for this and the incredibly quick turnaround to get it back to us. This will help significantly as we move towards a looming completion date.

Thanks for getting back to me , this is extremely helpful. First time buyers, so this is all very new to us.

Many thanks for undertaking the structural evaluation. We are very grateful indeed for your professional advice Graham, and I shall be recommending you to clients requiring your services without hesitation.

Thank you for completing and sending the report in such a timely manner. I’ll let you know if I have any questions.

Thank you very much for your quick response on this and your advice – it is very much appreciated. It’s really helped clear up concerns I was starting to have about the property.

Thanks for this and thanks for getting to my request so quickly its much appreciated.

This is great. Thank you for the quick turnaround and the report. Much appreciated!

Thank you Graham for the excellent survey. Due to your findings, we have decided to withdraw our offer.

Thank you very much for the quick turnaround on this Graham.

Thank you for the survey, I only noticed that you sent it on Saturday because I was away at the weekend. I'd also like to thank you for returning to the property to complete the survey and including the photographs provided by the slating company. It's helpful to have the costs for repairs within the report and to know that accurate prices can be better obtained by fully scoping the works into a schedule of rates and obtaining competitive tenders for the work. What has been described in your report has come as a shock particularly the fact that the property is not mortgageable.

Thanks for the quick turnaround Graham. We’ve reviewed the report over the weekend and it’s everything we discussed thank you.

I will send over the report to them today and see what comes back and update you accordingly. Thanks so much for your help, it’s been very helpful indeed.

Thank you for providing the report so promptly, we really appreciate this. There is nothing else on the report that we require further clarity on. Hope you have a great weekend and thanks again for your help.

Many thanks for completing this for us. Thank you again for all of your insight and help with this report.

I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for such excellent service, such a prompt survey, speed of receiving the report and ongoing assistance in relation to the property we are looking to purchase. I will ensure that I recommend you to anyone in a similar position looking to move home that I speak with.

Graham Another excellent piece of work, which I will now seek landlord sign off to attach to the lease. Many thanks

GDA Surveys Ltd – Amazing service! Thank you so much for the exceptional survey that you carried out at our office at Haines Watts Chester. It is well worth highlighting the high quality of the survey report that was sent to us within 48 hours of you being in our office. It was incredibly comprehensive and well detailed, providing us with a thorough understanding of the buildings condition and what needs to be done going forward. What stood out for me were the accompanying pictures that were taken which were extremely clear and it really made me realise that you need to have an eye for what you do – which you certainly have! Having such a visual documentation makes it incredibly easy to refer back to as we plan for the next steps. I definitely recommend Graham Forrester from GDA Surveys Ltd to anyone in need of exceptional surveying services. Thank you again for all your help and I will confidently refer you to any of my clients who are in need of your services going forward.

Hello Graham, Thank you so so much again. I will get it over to my solicitor. Massive thanks again for all your help. God bless and take care.

Thanks Graham, your report is very comprehensive and provides a list of actions that we need to implement. Best wishes

Hi Graham, Hope you are well. I really appreciate the prompt turnaround on the report, especially given how comprehensive it is. Certainly gives more clarity to the condition of the property, with the damp in the kitchen being a particular concern. I think I'll need to outline the vendor's position around the penetrating damp and how we can resolve that. Are the overall damp levels of the property, especially in the kitchen, something that can be reversed and kept at bay, or something that can only be managed? Many thanks again.

I can’t recommend Graham enough. A comprehensive survey at a very competitive cost, more importantly Graham always made himself available to discuss the survey contents, clearly explaining any areas that needed clarification. I am very happy that I was recommended the services of Graham and he has delivered beyond reputation!

Dear Graham and Dawn, It is our pleasure to provide a positive review for GDA Surveys. We are both so pleased with the report as it has ended up saving us a lot of money and stress in the long run – the boiler had never been serviced and it turns out it had a major fault, so the current owners have had it replaced for us. We are hoping to complete on Thursday and looking forward to enjoying our new home knowing that it is safe and structurally sound 😊 Kenny’s mum has just had an offer accepted on a house so we have passed on your details, I hope that is okay. All the best, Sally

Our experience of dealing with GDA Surveys Ltd was an EXTREMELY positive one. Both Graham and Dawn are extremely professional, helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and polite. Once you’re survey is complete the report you receive from Graham is very comprehensive and even as a layperson reading it, it was straightforward and, because Graham and Dawn are so approachable nothing is too much trouble when asking them questions about the report Graham is very happy to answer and explain things to you. Honestly we can’t recommend them enough. Great people great service.

The report was thorough and detailed with a quick turnaround. No hesitation in recommending their services.

Extremely professional with a superfast response. Graham had conducted a survey on the house that we were selling and we were impressed with how thorough he was .... this prompted us to use him on our ongoing purchase. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to you and we would use him again if the need ever arises.

We were very pleased with the service received from GDA Surveys Ltd. Graham was professional and helpful throughout and ensured that our concerns were addressed in his report. The final report was shared with us really quickly and it highlighted a potential issue with the boiler which has ended up saving us thousands of pounds and lots of stress! If you are thinking about booking a survey for your new home we wouldn't hesitate to recommend GDA Surveys.

I would highly recommend GDA Surveys, from the initial phone call to receiving the completed survey report, communication was excellent. Our report came back within a day of the survey with clear information and photos to support the findings. Many thanks to Graham!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Graham Forrester from GDA Surveys for a level 2 survey on our new home in Frodsham. We reached out to Graham for his services, and as it turned out, he was conducting surveys for three other people in our house buying chain. If that doesn't testify to how good Graham is, then nothing will. Graham was extremely professional and quick to inform us of an available date for the survey. His survey was thorough, easy to understand, and provided us with the necessary information to renegotiate with the sellers. I have already recommended Graham to others and will continue to do so. Thank you, Graham, for your outstanding service.

Very good service, efficient, good communication. Very happy.

We asked GDA surveys to carry out a level 3 survey on a property we are in the process of purchasing , the survey Graham carried out was of a very high standard including details I wouldn’t even thought to assess myself at a reasonable price - we were highly impressed with the presentation and turn around time of which the survey was sent to us , I’d definitely recommend GDA surveys for any property surveys and will definitely use them again if required.

Great service and communication - would recommend Graham to anyone looking for a survey!

Couldn't believe how efficient they were. Had the level 3 survey report done within about a week of me getting in touch, even with the property having two parts and outbuildings. Very pleased with the service, thanks.

I am a local property investor and currently purchasing a property locally, I needed insurance for this property and with any insurance they need a rebuild cost, straight forward if the property is similar to the one next door but because this property is Grade II listed and with no comparable it was difficult to do a desktop valuation, so we contacted Dawn & Graham for a re-Val (valuation should you need to rebuild it ) Graham came out within days on to site to view the property, did a survey and written report was emailed again within days. Couldn’t have asked for a better service. He understood what we needed and did so in a timely manner. We would recommend GDA Surveys to others and already have. Thanks again both Dawn & Graham.

I was initially worried about the process of getting a property survey done, especially given the hassle I have had trying to contact the estate agent. However, my experience with GDA Surveys was a breath of fresh air. They were incredibly efficient and professional from start to finish. Not only did they handle the communication with the difficult estate agent, but they also managed to schedule the survey on short notice and deliver the report the same day. The level of detail in the survey report was impressive, and it provided me with the information I needed to make an informed decision about the property. I'm so grateful for their quick turnaround and exceptional service. If you're looking for a reliable and efficient surveying company, I highly recommend GDA Surveys ltd.

Excellent service! Graham and Dawn from GDA surveys provided a professional and timely service from the beginning. They were very quick to respond to emails and also to organise our house survey with the estate agents. All the questions we asked about our report were answered honestly and thoroughly, which was a huge help to us as first time buyers. The service they provided was very reasonably priced and we felt our level 3 house survey was very thorough. I would certainly recommend GDA surveys to others!
