Very efficient. Very helpful.
Would highly recommend Peter Barry for anyone looking for a good quality home survey. We received a level 2 home survey report, which was thorough and included a call from the surveyor to fully explain their findings. Overall, a great service!
Jaynell was professional, helpful, thorough and a pleasure to collaborate with. Thank you.
Excellent service from the team! The report was delivered very quickly and staff were very responsive to any questions I had.
James carried out a party wall survey for us ahead of an extension; we had a phone call to run through the process and then everything went smoothly thereafter. James was recommended by our architect but we were really happy with everything and would recommend him to others.
