I used Bianca’s service in 2025 when recommended by an estate agent. Bianca advised to undertake a level 2 survey although I was originally thinking of level 3. It went well initially and I found her easy to talk to as she was professional and friendly albeit not very responsive. I first had a report and it had missed a few things that I’ve spotted upon visiting the property that wasn’t in the report. A second inspection was carried out and an edited report was then supplied. I then had those issues fixed which I was glad to have spotted.
The 2nd report didn’t show any major problems and we went through the purchase in the end. However, after a couple of months of moving in, a leak & damp occurred in the loft. I’ve had a few roofers check and they all said the same thing - the ridge tiles were very loose and the mortar in between was missing which would’ve caused the issues. They mentioned this should’ve been picked up on during the survey. I got in touch with Bianca to raise and an inspection was carried out. Nothing happened at the end as the report concluded the gaps might have appeared between inspection! I was not pleased considering there were so many things missed during the survey. We are also getting damp/mold problems in some of the bedrooms & bathroom which again was also missed.
I now wish I’d paid extra and went with a company with a lot more experience who would’ve made a thorough inspection. Now it feels like a waste of time and money (and loss of trust). I would not be recommending her to my friends & family.

We approached Bianca when she was recommended to us by our estate agent. Thanks to Bianca, we were able to save thousands of pounds on a house that needed a lot of work. We went for a level 3 survey and it was extremely detailed and precise with estimates for costs included in the survey too. The survey was worth every penny and we are very appreciative. We did not go through with purchasing the property, but when we do find another property, we will definitely come back to Bianca at Olivia Thomas Estates for another survey - Thank you so much Bianca and James.
Bianca was recommended to us by a friend for a level 3 survey of an old property with a few issues. She was utterly brilliant in helping us understand the state of the house and the remedial work required. She did go above and beyond and we are both very grateful for that. 100% recommend Bianca to anyone in the process of house buying.
What an amazing service. Definitely above and beyond with survey content and quality. Would highly recommend Bianca at Olivia’s Thomas Surveys
Report written in detail but comprehensive to understand. As stated it was really in depth for the level of survey booked Amazing company.
Bianca was absolutely superb throughout the entire process. As first time buyers, we didn’t know a great deal about what was involved, and really appreciated her considered and informative approach. The follow up zoom call was a great touch too, as it helped put the findings laid out in the report into perspective. We would both 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a survey in the Worcestershire area, we can’t thank her enough!
We recently employed the services of Olivia Thomas Estates Ltd to carry out a Level 3 building survey on a property which we are hoping to buy. From start to finish, our surveyor, Bianca Cullis, was incredibly professional and approachable. She conducted a thorough survey at the property and produced a very detailed report that more than exceeded our expectations.
Not only was Bianca able to carry out the survey within our desired timescale, but her extensive knowledge and expertise were also evident throughout the process. After the report was delivered to us, Bianca convened a 90 min follow-up meeting by Zoom to go through everything highlighted, point by point. We were very impressed with her attention to detail and her ability to communicate complex information in a clear and understandable manner.
Overall, we highly recommend Olivia Thomas Estates to anyone in need of a professional and affordable building surveyor.
Bianca was truly amazing throughout the whole process.
Me and my partner are first time buyers and had no idea what we were doing and Bianca was so quick to fit in our survey and she was so detailed with her report. She even called me after the survey as she knew how anxious I was about the survey results.
Overall we had a 10/10 experience and I will be recommending her to all of my family and friends.
Bianca was truly outstanding and incredibly knowledgeable. We required a RICS Level 2 survey and chose Olivia Thomas Estates. From the start, Bianca explained the entire process thoroughly and arranged the survey very quickly.
Following the survey, Bianca provided a swift overview and essential insights about the property. Later, we had an in depth call where she meticulously walked us through the entire report, going through every aspect we needed to understand. As first time buyers, this guidance was really useful, setting Olivia Thomas Estates apart from other companies we considered.
If you're seeking a detailed survey backed by exceptional customer service and comprehensive follow-ups, I can't recommend Olivia Thomas Estates highly enough.
Bianca is certainly an expert in her field!
We are first time buyers so really have limited knowledge about the what/whys/hows of surveys.
Bianca was fantastic!
Bianca completed and provided the report in a timely manner and even held a meeting with us to explain her findings.
Bianca was professional, friendly and supportive.
I really cannot recommend Bianca more.
Bianca was brilliant! She was far more responsive to my enquiry AND offered a better priced compared to all the big-name surveyors I was considering, whilst also filling me with far more confidence that she would do a good job than those companies did. This was only further enforced when she offered to review the survey results with me on a call, something no other company offered! If you're reading this, stop comparing surveyors now and just give Bianca a call. 😄
Bianca produced a very detailed report to include photos and very clear in talking us through it and very responsive when contacting her with further questions.
Once we complete on the sale is also more than happy to discuss things again should we feel necessary. would highly recommend this company.
I was looking for a Level 3 RICs report for a 125yr old property I had found, made an offer on and the vendors wanted a quick sale. Whilst searching local and online companies for the right company to carry out the survey, I found Oliviathomasestates.co.uk and through their website made contact with Bianca.
There was no hard sell, but I was able to ask sufficient questions to reassure me that this was the surveyor I wanted to choose. Bianca is a very knowledgeable and qualified individual who was able to talk me through the inspection process is a calm, explanatory and very professional way. I was very impressed with the service being offered including aerial photographs and a face-to-face meeting to discuss and help me interpret the findings in the final report and, offer very welcome advice and opinion.
In terms of the final report, it was very comprehensive, well set out, understandable by the lay-person and completed in double quick time. I was able to grasp the significance of the detailed findings in order to make a huge financial decision to continue with the purchase. Bianca's report also gave me a list of useful questions to draw upon when speaking with my conveyancing solicitors ensuring that any potential issues identified were raised.
As far as the cost of this inspection report was concerned. I had no idea what a RICs level 3 might cost me given that the last time I had a survey done was in 2006. However, Bianca's charges were very reasonable compared to some very 'silly' quotes others had provided. She was not the cheapest quote, but quickly showed that value for money is relative especially when the product you are looking for is produced in a very timely manner, identifying the issues you expected it too but, moreso, the skilful delivery of the report, the depth of knowledge and customer care that went into producing it including, after sales advice and ongoing support should it be required. This aspect really stood out.
I am glad that I found this company and Bianca. I cannot recommend Bianca highly enough and I would have no hesitation in using her again.
Totally personalised experience. Very approachable. Always happy to explain or chat through the report. Quick turn around.
I cannot recommend Bianca enough. I came to her with an impossible deadline - to perform a level 3 survey on a grade 2 listed barn with outbuildings, stables and land and turn it around in less than a week. She delivered on all fronts with a friendly yet professional approach. Bianca was available day and night and worked long hours to get this across the line for me. The added touch was her availability to meet up to walk through the report. Her report saved me thousands in potential costs that I was able to negotiate with the seller of my house. Thanks so much Bianca.
