Professional, friendly and helpful practice - happy to recommend Peter Barry Surveyors.
I recently instructed a Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors (RICS Independent Valuer) to provide valuations for two of my properties for lease extension purposes, and I was extremely impressed with the service received. The valuation reports were completed promptly and professionally, with excellent communication throughout the process. What stood out most was the clear and practical advice provided regarding the expected lease extension premium, taking into account the current ground rent provisions contained within the leasehold documentation. The valuer demonstrated strong expertise, explained the implications of the ground rent clauses in an easy-to-understand manner, and gave realistic expectations of the likely premium payable. I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, efficient, and reliable RICS lease extension valuer.
I would be very happy to recommend the team at Peter Barry Surveyors. They successfully managed the initial Party Wall Awards for my renovation project under significant time pressure, ensuring everything was completed efficiently and professionally. When a further Award became necessary later in the project, they handled the process smoothly and diligently and kept matters progressing as swiftly as possible. During what has been a complex and lengthy renovation, they have provided invaluable advice and guidance. Their willingness to help, answer questions and share their expertise has been hugely reassuring and has undoubtedly helped the project run more smoothly. The team has been professional, knowledgeable, responsive and practical throughout. I would not hesitate to use them again and would gladly recommend them to others.
Efficient work and clear communication throughout. Excellent firm with no complaints with the service I received.
