Are Foundations Getting Deeper? A Look at Modern Building Practice and Party Wall Implications

At Peter Barry Surveyors, we have to consider how the foundations of a client's kitchen extension interact with neighbouring properties and the Party Wall Act. It’s a fair question, especially when comparing older properties with modern builds. And while the regulations themselves haven’t explicitly mandated deeper ... Read More >>

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.
Had a Level 2 survey carried out recently, excellent service, clear and concise report delivered on time. Great service from start to finish from our first point contact Joanne to the surveyor Justin. Happily recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. We're delighted to hear you received excellent service from Joanne and Justin, and that the report met your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to assisting you again in the future.
Fantastic company, very professional and provided an excellent service for my help to buy property valuation.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your review. We're delighted to hear you found our service professional and helpful for your property valuation. We look forward to assisting you again in the future.
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!
