Villa Surveyors

No puedo recomendar lo suficiente a Stan. Me dio mucha información y ayuda sobre un problema difícil y complicado que tengo. Fue una combinación de apoyo práctico y emocional sin el cual me habría perdido.
gracias stan

Excelente servicio de Stan. Un tiempo de respuesta sorprendentemente rápido y una llamada de asesoramiento invaluable resolvieron nuestra preocupación con respecto a nuestra propiedad. Muy profesional y educado.
Definitivamente usaríamos Villa Surveyors nuevamente.

Me puse en contacto con Stan porque quería una opinión sobre la solidez estructural de una propiedad en Madrid por parte de alguien calificado en inglés y que hablara inglés. Stan fue muy receptivo mientras hacíamos los arreglos para la visita al sitio, puntual ese día y minucioso y conocedor durante la visita en sí. Involucrar a Stan me ha dado una gran tranquilidad y no dudaría en recomendar sus servicios.

Recientemente solicité una encuesta de vivienda en Alicante con muy poca antelación y después de una búsqueda en Google encontré Villa Surveyors. Stan es un topógrafo de edificios en la región de Valencia que estaba dispuesto a ayudar y, para mi deleite, viajó desde Madrid el día de mi visita concertada. Siendo del Reino Unido, fue reconfortante estar acompañado por un profesional que me brindó consejos invaluables durante una encuesta. También me colocó en una posición con más conocimientos antes de hacer una oferta por la propiedad. También siempre se ha puesto a mi disposición cuando he necesitado más asesoramiento durante el proceso de compra. Definitivamente recomendaría prepararse antes de la compra y recomendaría de todo corazón a Stan and Villa Surveyors.
Una recomendación positiva de 5 estrellas.

Excelente servicio de Stan Dickens que nos ayudó mucho con el estudio que realizó para la compra de nuestra casa.
Muy recomendable.

After searching online for a Costa del Sol surveyor, we found Villa Surveyors. Communication was fast and clear and appointment booked within days. The inspection and report were very clear and detailed. Would Highly recommend!

Stan carried out a walk-round survey of a 3-bed property in Bensafrim, Lagos that we are looking to buy.
He was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of useful information about the condition of the property.
Great value for money for us as he has saved us thousands in renovations works that we now realise we don't need to do!

We were very happy with the Building Surveyor Services of Villa Surveyors in the process of our acquisition of a property in the Costa Brava. It is a great feeling to have a totally independent, and qualified Chartered Surveyor adding the necessary technical perspective to the emotionally driven decisions of choosing a home in a foreign country.
The service was tailored to our needs, kind, knowledgeable, trustworthy and at the end gave us the confidence to decide on the way forward.
The report was structured, clear, detailed, complete, yet zoomed in on the details that we particularly were unsure about.
So well done and thanks a lot!

It wasn’t easy to find a Chartered Surveyor who had the skills to undertake a professional building survey in Estepona. There were a number of companies offering building surveying services on the Costa del Sol, but none of them convinced me that they were up to the job. That is, until I found Stan Dickens of Villa Surveyors, who was able to quickly arrange an appointment to inspect the property. Stan undertook a very thorough building inspection, following which he prepared a very professional pre-purchase building survey complete with photographs. Stan’s report was very easy to read and jargon free. In his report Stan listed some defects which I was able to get fixed by the vendor as part of the sales agreement. I am so pleased that I contracted Stan andI can wholeheartedly recommend Villa Surveyors services to anybody thinking of buying a property in Andalucia.

I got in touch with Villa Surveyors for advice on a 4 bedroom villa in the village of Triquivijate a 10 minutes drive from the coast in Fuerteventura. There were a number of cracks in the roof structure and I was concerned about the state of repair. Stan Dickens provided me with very clear and helpful advice on all areas of concern. Thanks to Stan I am proceeding with the purchase with the peace of mind that I was seeking. If you are looking for a professional building surveyor in the Canary Islands look no further than Villa Surveyors.

I cannot recommend Stan highly enough. He is a gentlemen and truly operates at the best quality you can get for this service. Search no further, Villa Surveyors are what you are looking for.

We recently had a building survey undertaken on a Villa in El Chapparal Golf, Mijas Costa (Costa Del Sol) by Stan of Villa Surveyors. I was very pleased with the result. The report was very clear and concise and identified several areas of concern, including damp to the lower floor of the Villa. Some of the damp issues had been purposely concealed by the vendors, but stan was extremely vigilant! He was very friendly and helpful and thanks to his post survey advice we were able to avoid, what could have been a costly mistake. I can't recommend them enough; I will be using him again when we find our next property.

I found Stan through Villa Surveyors while searching the internet for Surveyors in Portugal and after speaking to some others that I had come across decided that Stan sounded exactly what I was looking for. I'm so glad he was able to look at a rural property in Alentejo that I was interested in, he gave a very professional and informed report on the property which put my mind at ease knowing that there would be no surprises later! He responded very quickly to all communications and produced the report very promptly. I would thoroughly recommend him and believe it is money well spent for the peace of mind alone! Thanks again Stan.

Stan Dickens hizo un estudió técnico de una villa en la Costa del Sol para nosotros. Estamos muy contentos con la calidad de su trabajo. Sin duda, recomiendo utilizar sus servicios.

Building Survey & Property Inspection, Madrid, Spain

It was my first time buying property so with all of the natural added stresses it was essential I had a Chartered Surveyor come to the property for review. From the moment of my initial enquiry, Stan provided quick responses, and was extremely informative. The first contact via telephone, with excellent customer service instantly put my mind at rest. On the day of the inspection Stan was extremely knowledgeable, supportive and even provided me with tips on maintaining the property going forwards. This is a company that goes the extra mile!

Stan Dickens conducted the survey and prepared the snagging report for a an apartment in a new built project I recently bought in Sotogrande. The survey has been very detailed and professionally prepared. Stan also took the time to go through the defects with the developer’s after sales representative to ensure clarity on what needs to be done. Response time and service has been very good

My partner and I were in the early stages of buying a property in Madrid and we worked with Stan on this particular venture.

Thanks to Stan's knowledge and experience we were saved from a very risky and costly investment.
Even though we did not move forward with this property, we will definitely be using Stan's services again in the near future.

Working with Stan provided a great sense of ease, he is both experienced and trustworthy.

Thanks again Stan, we'll be in touch again soon:)

Stan was absolutely wonderful to work with and made sure he was readily available to answer all my questions! I live in the USA and Stan fit me into an already tight schedule to survey a home for me in Madeira, Portugal. His feedback was honest, transparent and very reliable! I reccomend him 100% and will be using his services in the near future. Thank you!

Very thorough house surveyor willing to travel to any area like coimbra or porto or Braga. Prompt reporting and flexible on dates when I had to change dates. Also willing to assist long after survey.
Would strongly recommend.

We were looking for a professional building survey for a refurbished farm building in Portugal that we were buying, what is called a quinta in Portuguese, we were worried about potential damp and timber infestation as it is a 200 year old stone house that was completely renovated some years ago, with many timber elements installed throughout the property. Being expats we do not speak any Portuguese so we were looking for someone reliable who is fluent in English and has lots of experience with surveying properties in Portugal. We initially looked for someone local to provide us with a house survey near Coimbra which is the area where the property is located, however we could not find anyone local who satisfied our requirements for reliability, fluency in English and a high level of expertise. We were then very fortunate to have received a very warm recommendation for Stan, who agreed to come all the way from Madrid to perform the building survey for us. On the day of the survey Stan was punctual, very polite and he performed his work meticulously and to our utmost satisfaction and so we are very pleased to have worked with him on this purchase and whole heartedly recommend Stan to anyone who is in need of his services. If you are looking for a true professional to perform a building survey for your future home in Portugal, do not look anywhere else, Stan is the right man for the job! Thanks again Stan for a job well done.

We asked Stan for a report on a chalet in Manzanares El Real. He was excellent, really helpful and I would certainly recommend Villa Surveyors to anyone looking for a survey or condition report on a property in Spain Portugal or Italy.

We worked with Stan to purchase our first home in the Lisbon Area and we could not be happier. While a first purchase can be stressful and scary, especially when it is an international purchase (we are living in Canada and are planning to move to Portugal next year), Stan’s impeccable work has comforted and helped us to find the rare pearl. Stan is patient, attentive and very meticulous. Stan worked with us to put together a plan on how to visit multiple properties, evaluate them based on our needs as well as use his expertise as a surveyor to advise us. Stan visited about 15 properties in Lisbon and the surroundings for us and, during this process, he would debrief us everyday the visits of the day. We finally found the house that ticked all our boxes for a perfect home. Although we were not able to visit the house in person (travel restrictions due to COVID-19), the photos, videos and information provided by Stan gave us a great deal of insight into the house. Not only did Stan provided us with technical information regarding the house’s structure and the construction, but he also gave us a feel of the area where the house is located (the surrounding streets, shops, facilities nearby, transportation, population, etc.). Stan also went out of his way to interview and talk to agents and ensure that our interests were well represented. Thanks to Stan, we felt confident enough to go ahead and purchase this house. Stan’s work was essential to our property purchasing project and we could not recommend him more highly!

We asked Stan Dickens from Villa Surveyors to make a full survey report and we are very pleased with the result!
The report was very clear and includes everything we asked for and much more. The fact that he was able to schedule very soon made it even better. Thank you!

A very well presented report. A must for anyone buying. Thanks for your professional advise and detail.
