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!

Communication was excellent, and he always followed up promptly. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and professional surveyor.
