Advantages: None

Disadvantages: Incompetent, Dishonest, Refuses to answer complaints

This surveyor conducted a survey of a property for me in 2000. He failed to mention that two parts of the property were in need of complete demolition and rebuilding. He said they were fine with just minor repairs needed. This negligence cost me upwards of £15,000.

When a complaint was made to him directly, then to the RICS, he refused to make any reply to me, my solicitor, or the RICS. So far, the RICS has fined him £1500 each for several breaches of their code of practice plus given him a "severe reprimand" for refusing to reply to the complaint. But he still refuses to make any reply to the complaint itself.

So nearly three years on, he still conducts his surveying business as nobody knows his track record. He uses the RICS logo in his Yellow Pages advert, how many people will bother to check with the RICS about his record beforehand?

I understand that my experience was not the first, nor the last such incident with this guy.

I would advise you to avoid at all costs.

(Also uses the names "Property and Construction Consultants Ltd" and his own name "Martin Sharrock".)
