Dear Michelle,
It is regrettable that your opinion of our service did not match the high standards which we at HDG strive to maintain.
Whilst we fully appreciate the frustration at the lack of dialog with HDG post valuation, we must reiterate that we were acting for our lender client, to whom we report directly. We are contractually obliged to report to them and them only in these situations, hence why we advised to submit any queries direct to them for our attention.
We hope the above ...

Flat i'm buying has a £90K valuation on the home report, Santander made a mistake processing my mortgage application and did their own desk valuation (£78K) instead of using the home report. To solve the down valuation dispute, Santander paid HDG to carry out a ...

Overall would not recommend this surveyor.. In the current property market not easy to sell/buy houses and in my opinion the choice of language used within the home report was nothing short of protectionism in case of any comeback. While appreciate that this is ...

Extremely poor service customer service. They did not supply a 'Buy to Let' valuation with a hoom report (Now standard practice with most Surveyors in Glasgow as 2012) then refused to perform a refresh on the home report.
Staff abrupt and arrogant. Avoid if possible....

What agent could do to change your mind?
In the current housing market all help and assistance should be made readily available from all parties who provide services especially on simple aspects. If you treat clients and customers well then your company and services will develop positively. Unfortunately this company are not customer driven and I have nothing but negative comments to make about the services. Very poor indeed.Attached Filesnbsp;

I was surprised to read about so many negative experiences. I used Harvey Donaldson and Gibson for my home report on 10 May 2012, and have been very impressed with their communication and ability. Although the reports weren't perfect (as the properties weren't perfect), they did seem ...

They left the front door of my unoccupied property open for 2 days, it could have been more if I hadn't went over to check everything. I wasn't notified of their visit and had to call my estate agents to find out who had been in. ...
