The 3 principle factors influencing ...

We are first time buyers, requested a RICS Level 3 Home Survey Report. We received the quote very fast, and the survey was also arranged promptly. Joanne was very helpful. She guided us very well about the report's content and the relevant services & fees.
Our surveyor was David. He was super helpful and responsive! He explained his findings on the day of the survey, so we were already aware of the biggest issues before the report arrived. The survey report was very thorough and reader-friendly, and it helped us renegotiate a better price!
Their fees are higher than other surveyors, but I am so glad we went with them. Wouldnt hesitate to work with them again!

I have engaged the services of Peter Barry multiple times this year to prepare detailed reports for the buildings under my management.

Shaun has consistently produced exceptionally comprehensive reports.

I have already recommended their services and will continue to do so.

As a managing agent, having a reliable surveyor available is invaluable.
