Quality of Service
The quality of service provided by Sutherland Surveyors has been called into question by some reviewers. A.H. had a negative experience with Dan Sutherland, stating that he was late, lazy, and failed to properly inspect the property, leading to issues with the roof and fuse box. Similarly, Dianne Wyer felt that Dan's recommendations for resolving damp issues in her house were ineffective.
Competence and Expertise
There are concerns about the competence and expertise of the surveyors at Sutherland Surveyors. A.H. questioned Dan's abilities, suggesting that he won his certificate in a raffle, implying a lack of professionalism. Dianne Wyer also felt that Dan missed a clear issue with a cavity in her house, which was later identified by a plasterer.
Communication and Customer Service
Communication and customer service have been an issue for some reviewers. A.H. felt that Dan was unprofessional in his dealings, asking for additional fees to redo the survey properly. Dianne Wyer felt that the cost of the survey was not justified by the quality of service received.
Positive Experiences
However, other reviewers have had positive experiences with Sutherland Surveyors. Oliver Chappell and Sam Crompton both praised the level of detail and professionalism shown by Dan in their surveys. They found the reports to be excellent and easy to understand, and appreciated the extra time taken to discuss minor issues.
