From the first moment of contact, this business has achieved everything it was contracted to do, efficiently and professionally. I'm only too happy to recommend them.
Professional service; responsive customer service; quick set up and delivery times; provided useful feedback on the report.
They were very quick and efficient at getting me a valuation on my flat for doing a section 42 lease extension and the communication was very clear.
We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Peter Barry. We came to them when stuck in a slow Party Wall process with another surveyor and an fast approaching deadline as we wanted to start work on our property in time to finish before December. The Peter Barry team were phenomenal. Callum's knowledge was fantastic and he advised us effectively every step of the way, while Trina was highly responsive and a delight to work with. We were delighted with the experience and would recommend Peter Barry to anyone needing support with a Party Wall Award.
Finlay was fantastic on our Party Wall Award. Clear communication throughout process and helped to drive the process forward. Very friendly and efficient on the site visit and very thorough. Would highly recommend. Thank you!
Response from the owner:We're delighted to hear that Finlay provided clear communication throughout the Party Wall Award process and helped keep everything moving smoothly. We'll be sure to pass on your comments to him. Thank you for your recommendation.
