Beware! DO YOUR RESEARCH.

Beware! Had my suspicions due to a very poor reputation. Throughout the visit, the conduct and thoroughness of the inspection were seriously alarming. Not to mention the lack of knowledge from the “ Professional “ carrying out a lending valuation. Which became apparent after receiving their incredibly low valuation.

Please take serious consideration before allowing this company to be instructed.

Andy scrimgeour is the best thing since sliced bread! I was so happy with his service. Efficient, quick and fair! HDG are the best firm in Scotland for home reports and Andy is one of the reasons why. He deserves a pay rise!
