Requested a level 2 survey with Peter Barry and was very happy with the service, the survey goes above and beyond what I have experienced before and gave a very thorough breakdown of the risks and what next steps both I and the solicitor should take. I highly recommend going with them!

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience working with Peter Barry Surveyors.

Excellent customer service.
Jaynell was extremely helpful and David Breeze provided us with a very comprehensive and detailed report.
We welcomed the opportunity to speak with him before and after the survey. He answered all our questions and addressed our concerns by recommending possible solutions. I have already recommended him and all at Peter Barry.
Thank you for a very positive customer experience.
