Excellent and very thorough service all the way. Very nice polite people to work with! I would highly recommend this Chartered Surveyor. Thank you!
Working with Joanne, Joe, and our surveyor Shaun, through Peter Barry was a pleasure. We were buying a property in need of complete renovation, and they were able to customise the approach to cover only the parts of a home survey that were relevant for us, as well as advise on the likely feasibility of the renovations we had proposed. We would happily work with Peter Barry again.
Very professional and would recommend.
My wife and I engaged Peter Barry Surveyors to carry out a Level 2 RICS survey, and we were extremely satisfied with both the customer service and the professionalism with which the survey was conducted. The report we received was thorough and included several useful observations and recommendations. For instance, the surveyor identified some structural issues with the roof of the property we are considering purchasing, which we had not noticed ourselves. We were also offered a follow-up call with the surveyor to discuss the findings in more detail, which was very helpful. I would also like to give special recognition to Joanne for her outstanding support and responsiveness throughout the process. She was incredibly professional and helpful, always providing the information we needed and promptly assisting with coordinating follow-up questions with the surveyor. Overall, great service, excellent communication and a very quick turnaround time. Highly recommended!
We were extremely happy with the service we received from Peter Barry - prompt, efficient and very professional. Would definitely use them again if required.
