We recently used Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors to handle our party wall agreement and were extremely pleased with the service we received.

From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and very responsive. They explained the party wall process clearly, kept everything moving efficiently.

Communication was excellent throughout, and we felt confident that everything was being handled properly and fairly for all parties involved.

I would highly recommend Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors to anyone needing party wall advice or surveying services.
Peter McManus
Professional, diligent and very quick. I was offered a call with David Breeze after his survey, which was incredibly helpful - as he was able to explain "in real English" what was in the report and which elements I needed to be most/less concerned about. Would highly recommend!
Paul Wymer
Very pleased so far with Katie's thoroughness and support
Long may it continue!
Nick Thomson
We used Peter Barry Surveyors for a Schedule of Condition Report. The service was provided at short notice which we were extremely grateful for. Following our initial contact with Tracey Stephens who was really helpful to us, we had a visit from Argash Thasan arranged within a few days of our first contact. Argash provided us with a great service. He was polite, friendly, and professional, answered our questions clearly, and with knowledge and expertise of party wall matters. We received a thorough report and a detailed range of accompanying photos. We would highly recommend the services of Peter Barry Surveyors.

Peter Barry has been very professional throughout the process of conducting a level 3 building survey and feasibility report. The report itself was very detailed with plenty of images to support the text. We also had opportunity before and after to speak to the surveyor at length which was very helpful.

We've used Peter Barry twice now for RICS Level 2 (Homebuyer) Reports, each time they provided a detailed and clear report within a week of attending the property with the team being responsive and helpful with any queries we had - would highly recommend.
