I used Villa surveyors for a property I was considering buying in Portugal. I was extremely pleased with the survey carried out. The report was thorough, clear and highlighted significant defects. It gave me the confidence to withdraw from the purchase and potentially saved me a great deal of money. I found tbe service professional, detailed and well worth the investment. I would highly recommend them.

Claudio Santos was amazing to work with. He has extensive knowledge in home inspections far beyond what we expected and was extremely thorough. Claudio also truly cared about our home and what needs to be done. He was thoughtful, caring and true to his word. A great person all around. I would recommend Claudio to anyone needing a full home inspection!

Claudio Santos did a full technical Building inspection of my property. He was extremely professional and supportive. He gave me a robust report in English and Portuguese. It gives me the technical basis to move forward with remodeling my roof and any legal action required.
His service gave me clarity and potential ways forward.
He started with a service specification . He inspected my property and went to the camara with me to review the project files. He set up zoom meetings with me and shared electronic folders. His professionalism made everything clear and seamless.
Claudio Santos delivered to agreed deadlines.

My experience was very good, and I found Claudio to be extremely proactive throughout the process. He provided a great level of detail about the house, which was exceptionally helpful and valuable to us.
I also really appreciated how open and transparent he was. He kept us informed about his movements, arrival times, and any potential delays, which gave us confidence and clarity at every stage.
Overall, the depth of detail and professionalism Claudio demonstrated made a real difference, and we are very grateful for his work.
We will definitely be happy to use your services again in the future when needed.

Stan provided a brilliant service. He kindly fitted in the survey at short notice on a Saturday. The report was exactly what I wanted as Stan clearly had an eye for the detail but summarised his findings in a way that was quick and easy to understand. I would highly recommend.

Stan was friendly, professional and did an amazing appraisal report which really helped us understand the value of our property in Spain. His ability to speak English allowed him to explain the details that we would have missed with a Spanish speaker. Stan was a real asset clearing up the ambiguity in our apartment sale, and putting us in a better negotiating position because we had all the facts.

We needed to have a property surveyed at short notice. Villa Surveyors were able to supply someone to complete a "Walk-Round survey" the same day where we were accompanied around the property, given detailed information and technical recommendations. The survey lasted over two hours, was thorough and professional. We put in an offer that evening with confidence.

I recently had the pleasure of engaging with Stan Dickens from Villa Surveyors, seeking professional mentoring as I pursue my goal of becoming a Chartered Building Surveyor. Stan was incredibly understanding of my situation and showed genuine interest in supporting me in my professional quest.
Our conversation was wonderful and engaging. Stan's willingness to offer guidance and share his expertise proves valuable to me. I am truly grateful for the support and encouragement, received from Villa Surveyors.
Thank you, Stan, and the Villa Surveyors team!

For my own personal development it was inspiring to hear about how Stan became established in Spain, Portugal and Italy through his businesses decisions and I would encourage anyone who is interested to have a chat with Stan in a professional life coaching capacity. A very welcoming and insightful professional who would bring value to any network within this industry.

I highly recommend Villa Surveyors, who we engaged to carry out a snagging report on a new build villa in Ibiza, Spain. This was our first property purchase outside the UK, and having someone with experience in local working practices proved invaluable.
Stan responded promptly and was able to schedule a site visit quickly, keeping us constantly updated on progress. He attended the site, conducted a comprehensive survey, and produced a detailed report.

We bought a house in Aranjuez, the house its a little old so we hired Stan to come to have a look.
He was puntual, professional and very nice.
He was there as long as it took him to evaluate the big house, he did not leave a spot without checking, the report was extremely complete.
Even though I am Spanish, my husband is English, and we Spanish do not usually do a survey when buying a house, I would recommend every Spanish to do so and I would totally recommend Villa Surveyors to everyone.

It was a great pleasure to work with Stan last week, as he did a survey on a property which I am hoping to buy in Catalonia. Stan was very thorough, very professional and helpful.

Stan was very helpful, knowledgeable and a real plus for us, was that he was fluent in English and Spanish. The price was very good for the service too, overall I would recommend.

I contacted Stan as I wanted a view on the structural soundness of a property in Madrid from someone English-qualified and English-speaking. Stan was very responsive while we made the arrangements for the site visit, punctual on the day and thorough and knowledgeable during the visit itself. Involving Stan has given me great peace of mind, and I would not hesitate to recommend his services.
