Peter Barry surveyors have made the whole process of getting a survey very simple. I opted for the RICS Home Survey – Level 2 Survey Report (survey only). The whole process took around 10 working days from me initially reaching out to the survey sent over to me. The process was very smooth and the team kept me up to date on all the steps. The final report was of a high standard and has helped me understand what additional issues/ costs I may face not only immediately but also in future. I would definitely recommend Peter Barry Surveyors.

Brian Morris

Excellent service overall from Shaun Blake at Peter Barry Surveyors.The initial survey had to be postponed last minute due to a potential collapse in the chain, but that was no problem.The report was exceptionally detailed and comprehensive, very often including details and recommendations which I would not have expected e.g. it is recommended that you enquire about this document further etc.The follow up service was also exceptionally good, with a walkthrough of the issues raised in the report in plain English, including e.g. X may take a roofer 3-4 days, Y will probably be 2-3 more years before it becomes a more serious concern etcFinally, Shaun said he would be happy to take a look over specific documents we had requested on the back of the survey, and when we sent these on he swiftly replied with a very useful and entirely comprehensive review.

Cemal Arikan

After being disappointed by a different surveyor in Holborn, I approached this company which had great reviews and I decided to go ahead. Mr Steve Hobbs carried out the survey for my flat and also to put on the report how much the lease extension should cost. The Landlord however was very unreasonable and wanted nearly £10k more than what Mr Hobbs had stated and so Mr Hobbs went ahead with the negotiation and managed to get the premium down to nearly £10k less than what the unruly landlord wanted. Thanks for your service and I will always come back!

We requested a Level 2 survey from Peter Barry, and our surveyor David Breeze was a godsend! As first-time buyers we were facing a lot of unknowns, and David went above and beyond to help us with the process. At our request, David gave us a call straight after surveying the property and talked us through his findings. He was extremely generous with his time, and had extensive knowledge of the local property market as well as the condition of the property itself. He answered all of our questions in-depth and even gave some useful insight into how to get the best out of our solicitors and estate agents. The survey report followed swiftly and was comprehensive and clear. We are very grateful to David, Joanne and the wider Peter Barry team for their service - working with them was one of the best decisions we made during the buying process.

I recently turned to Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors with a tricky issue involving a party wall and our neighbour’s new loft, extension and gutters/downpipe rainwater flooding. After sending across documents requested, I was contacted by William Weaver at Peter Barry. He was excellent and offered me sound advice and guidance to move forward. William clearly has vast experienced in property and his knowledgeable was invaluable. It was refreshing not to interact with a faceless online portal. I would definitely recommend Peter Barry and William Weaver to anyone needing a surveyor and help with party walls. Many thanks.

Keith Young

Peter Barry were recommended by another independent surveyor who could not accommodate us due to work and holidays. The housebuying process and engaging a surveyor is entirely new to me. David Breeze who performed our survey exceeded all expectations I had. Not only was his report excellent but he has spent a considerable amount of time with us post-survey patiently explaining the significant and not-so-significant findings, answering all our questions and giving us invaluable advice on defect remediation and the homebuying process in general which I would have considered to be far outside the original remit but is very, very much appreciated.

John Cryer

William was very knowledgeable and provided excellent and objective advice.

Stacey Venn

Incredibly friendly company, easy to use and efficient. Thanks Steve and team!

It was very easy to arrange to speak to our surveyor (Shaun) who was easy to talk to and patient with our questions.We would recommend Peter Barry to friends and family.

Cristina Santos

Peter Barry Surveyors came highly recommended for our Homebuyer survey from family members. As first-time buyers the entire buying process can be quite overwhelming but having a survey that you can trust is essential. Ishrat and John kept their communication at all times and were very prompt booking the survey and answering any questions we add. A note I would just put forward, old houses surveys can be extensive and scare anyone out as well. This was the case with us, however call your surveyor to ask questions and arrange the specialist checks they advise prior to any panic.

Seb L

Had a great experience with James at PBS handling a party wall matter. All round professional and good comms. Our neighbours chose to use them as a joint surveyor and they seemed to act positively but fairly for all parties.

As a result not only do we feel like we are walking into our house purchase with our eyes open, but we have already been able to get the seller to cover the cost of items we hadn't appreciated were even issues. Worth every penny! Thank you.

Peter Barry Surveyors came recommended by our architect, and we were very happy with their services. Callum Escott was very professional, kept us updated and got things sorted with our neighbor in no time. It was difficult to get hold of the owner at first as the property is rented out and the owner lives abroad.

Overall great experience working with them and would highly recommend their services.

Very friendly and easy to communicate with the team. The report was simple and precise.

I recently used Peter Barry Surveyors (Matthew Price) to assist me with the valuation of my property and the subsequent lease extension negotiations with my Landlord. Matthew prepared a desk top valuation report using floorplans I already had for my property, which was less expensive than but still very in-depth. Having never been through a lease extension process before he made it so much simpler for me. When I received the Landlord's counter offer which was initially quite high I was a little worried. Matthew was extremely professional and very efficient in keeping me updated. Matthew successfully negotiated with the landlords valuers on my behalf to reduce the lease premium down by over £2,000 on their initial offer. A very good outcome and I was extremely appreciative for all his efforts on my behalf.

For the past approximately 6 months we have been represented by Callum Escott, surveyor at Peter Barry Surveyors, with regard to a Party Wall issue relating to our neighbours building works. I have found him to be helpful, reliable and efficient at all times in my dealings with him

Raj Sis

We used Peter Barry for our Party Wall Agreement. Our Surveyor for the Award was Callum Escott. From start to finish he dealt with our case professionally. We would recommend him due to his knowledge and speediness in the process.

I used Peter Barry Surveyors in Ipswich to carry out a RICS 2 survey for a property I was buying. Ishrat and Justin were extremely helpful and replied to all of my questions quickly. They carried out the survey in a timely manner and I was very happy with their service.

Very quick "desktop" lease extension report done at about half the price of most other specialist valuers. If only dealing with lawyers and freehold owners could be this easy!

We used Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors (Steve Hobbs and Joanne Bartlett) to carry out our recent valuation report for our lease extension; we had already used them previously (Justin Burns) to draw up a party wall agreement. Both times they were truly excellent; they explained the end-to-end process to us, were efficient and responsive to our questions, pleasant to deal with, and the reports were delivered in super quick time. We have no hesitation at all in highly recommending their services (and have already done so) to others.

Joanne Brooks

Excellent, prompt and professional service from beginning to end. Would highly recommend this company.

We used Peter Barry for both a Homebuyer Report and a leasehold extension report. Both services were carried out efficiently, with any questions answered promptly. The reports were detailed and allowed me to progress our house move. Would use them again and have recommended to others.

I recently had a survey with Peter Barry and was impressed with the level of detail. I walked away without buying the property because of the report, it really highlighted issues I couldn't have seen without an experts knowledge. Thank you!

Mike Selby

Peter Barry Surveyors carried out a full building survey for us in April 2020, in the midst of the Covid-19 lockdown. Naturally things moved slightly slower than would otherwise have been the case, but the process went ahead in straightforward fashion and the report, once delivered, was professional and comprehensive. Quite satisfied.

Qian Lu

I don't know much about surveys and have no point of comparison. But our purchase survey went well.I would have liked a bit more guidance from Peter Barry regarding the process. We were first time buyers and didn't really know when to make the payment or what are the next steps.
