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.

I recently used the Peter Barry services, and I was thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and thoroughness of the Level 2 survey. The team was very knowledgeable and explained the scope of the survey clearly before starting. They conducted a detailed inspection of the property, identifying both visible issues and potential hidden defects that could affect the building’s value and safety. The survey report was comprehensive yet easy to understand, featuring clear descriptions, photographs, and recommendations for any necessary repairs or further specialist investigations. I appreciated the prompt turnaround time without any compromise on the quality of their work. Overall, the Level 2 survey provided me with the confidence and detailed information I needed to make an informed decision regarding my property purchase. I would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a reliable and detailed property survey.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear that you found the Level 2 survey thorough, clear and informative, and that the report gave you the confidence needed to make an informed decision. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are pleased we could assist with your property purchase.
