I had a RICS level 2 survey carried out recently and had a good experience. They communicated effectively and got me the report within a couple days of the survey. It was detailed and highlighted a couple of issues I wasn’t aware of, so well worth doing.

Excellent firm for party wall surveys. After a bit of sleuthing I chose Peter Barry as they have a good reputation for avoiding the kind of conflicts that can escalate fees needlessly. That certainly proved true of my very level-headed and helpful surveyor James Merewether. Highly recommended.

Shaun Blake who was my surveyor was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He took time to examine my property and produce a very detailed and informative report. I will definitely use 'Peter Barry ' in future and will have no problem recommending the company to others.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Elizabeth, for your kind words. We're delighted Shaun provided a professional, friendly, and thorough service. We look forward to assisting you again and appreciate your recommendation of Peter Barry Surveyors.

Excellent service!

We booked a survey with Peter Barry Surveyors for the purchase of a home. Maianh was very quick to respond to our initial email and all follow up conversations. They also set us up with a pre-survey phone call with David Breeze (surveyor) who took the time to explain how the survey is conducted. They arranged access to the property directly with the realtor, and we received the report 4 working days later, after which we had another call with David to discuss the report and explained to us what the next steps were. We are now in the process of conducting the specialist surveys (with other companies) as per their recommendation.

Very helpful, very friendly, and professional.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much for your excellent review! We are delighted that you found our team to be helpful, friendly, and professional throughout the process, and I will certainly share your comments with Maianh and David. Thank you for choosing Peter Barry Surveyors!
