This is the worst company ever don’t use them. Came to my house and a survey and valuation, their valuation was £30k under market value..and they have put to family under stress and emotional., we where about to exchange off contract, but because of their unprofessional valuation, the mortgage lender declined to lend the money to my buyer honestly why no one is listening to all this reviewers!!?why the mortgage lenders are using this company with all this negative reviewers.???the person who visited for the survey was James Gifford
Great detail and service
James Kerman conducted a Level 2 Survey and Valuation Report on behalf of Pinnacle for me for a buy to let in March and I was most impressed by the level of information and detail provided. James then phoned me afterwards to explain in depth the information and recommendations in the report which was most helpful. I was able to obtain specialist reports and estimates based on his report which then allowed me to negotiate a reduction in price and has just led to a successful completion. Money well spent and excellent service. I will recommend James to others.
Dreadful
Pinnacle conducted a survey recently on our property on behalf of the buyer’s lenders. The surveyor (who had only three years experience) downgraded the value of our property by a massive £60000! I was informed by our very knowledgeable and experienced agents that this was unprecedented and it was the largest down valuation they had ever known. Our very attractive property in a desirable location was sold within four days of going on the market for the full asking price. Furthermore we cancelled further viewings from other potential buyers following the offer we received. The fact that the property sold for the full asking price almost as soon as it went on the market confirms that the agent’s valuation was correct. I was informed by our agents that as the survey was conducted on behalf of the buyer’s lenders we wouldn’t even be given the opportunity to challenge the surveyor’s decision. This apparently would have to be done by the buyers but which buyer in their right mind would challenge such a decision? As a result of all this we have been forced to accept a much lower offer on our property and our future plans have been ruined. It is shocking that a surveyor with limited experience is making decisions that result in sellers losing out financially. No doubt Pinnacle will be along soon to explain how the company uses certain criteria to determine values but just ignore all that. It should be the market that decides the value of a property. If you are told you must have a survey conducted on your property my advice would be to offer to pay for the survey yourself and choose a local company with a decent reputation and a knowledge of the local market. While there will be an upfront cost, it could end up being the best decision you ever made and ultimately save you a fortune. If I was able to, I would give Pinnacle a zero rating.

Extremely upset with my experience of Pinnacle. I had 3 local estate agents value my property and I received an asking price offer (priced in the middle of the valuations). Pinnacle came to survey/value my property and down valued by a massive £20,000!!! This is less than the 'Zoopla valuation', which I believe is just a rough estimation, and doesn't take into account my new fitted kitchen, newly decorated rooms, or garage conversion which has added a bedroom to the property! I am in a very difficult position now with my onward purchase (which may not even happen), thanks to Pinnacle. I would NOT recommend using this company.
Amazing service!
Very impressed with the service provided. Booked the appointment over the phone with a very polite and helpful chap. Appointment was booked in for the next day, and Sam Hare called to let me know he was on his way. Very professional, very knowledgeable (I asked him lots of questions), very courteous and pleasant to deal with. Valuation provided the same afternoon, so overall, a very smooth and pleasant transaction - Thanks!
