Excellent and professional RICS 3 report provided by Justin. I was very impressed about the thoroughness and the easy to understand contents within the report. In addition, Justin has spent his time talking us through the findings and suggested actions to be taken forward.

Thanks for your great work and I would highly recommend Peter Barry.

All aspects of our experience using Peter Barry were good which was a breath of fresh air in a stressful house renovation. We engaged them at the last minute to pull together our party wall awards for 4 neighbours. They we're good at communicating, pragmatic in setting up the surveys and reasonable on pricing. Recommend using them.

We had a great experience with this company. Maianh was very prompt, professional, and responsive whenever we had a question for her. The survey itself was comprehensive, and has really helped as we proceed with purchasing a property. Recommended!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your recommendation, and I will pass your comments onto Maianh.
