Very professional, and thorough service. Amrita has an eye for details and very helpful. She answers our queries promptly. She has done a great job.
Really happy with the Level 3 homebuyer survey we got done. Super quick and efficient, and the surveyor produced a brilliant, detailed report covering absolutely everything. What stood out was the follow-up. Shaun took the time to go through and explain every point in detail, which was really helpful. Couldn’t ask for more, would definitely recommend!
I would highly recommend Peter Barry. I had a level 2 home survey carried out by David Breeze and had a great experience. David was extremely helpful through the entire process, talking me through the details of the report and answering all questions I had.
Good communication with us and our solicitors. It was a very thorough survey with clear recommendations.
Excellent service - prompt, professional and competitively priced.
