Melanie Marshall

In February 2025, my roof and loft space were surveyed by Mr Shaun Blake , the correct title for my query was to have a report on a “specific defect report in respect of the nature and condition of the roof coverings, roof light and associated roof structure “.He was completely professional and put me at ease with his manner and if I needed to ask him any questions he was very clear and extremely helpful. Any house query can be very stressful at times, but this experience was good. The report was very detailed with photographs attached that he had taken on the inspection. I would recommend the Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors … ( the South Woodford branch ) they have put my mind at ease with a very stressful situation, but more importantly, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr Shaun Blake .Melanie Marshall

Riyadh Rateme

Peter Barry Surveyors have been great throughout getting a level 2 survey. In particular, David Breeze who completed the survey was just brilliant - it’s clear he’s been doing this for a long time.From the get-go, PBS was very responsive. They gave great advice on what kind of survey was most appropriate - very useful for a FTB still getting to grips with the process. The pricing itself was very fair, and more than paid for itself in the updated sale price post-survey.My purchase was on a very tight timeline, so David gave me a call on the day of survey where he clearly ran me through his key findings. This was critical in giving me time to quote repairs and have this reflected in the sale price. He was also extremely generous with his time and experience - and was there to quickly answer any questions I had both before and after receiving the survey. The survey itself was very well written, and the traffic light system made it really easy to pick up on key issues.To summarize, I’m extremely happy with the work done by David and PBS. The house-buying process can be daunting, so recommendations are invaluable - I’ll certainly be pointing friends and family David’s way when they need a great surveyor.

Regina Quaye

Many thanks to Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors for the efficient work done in relation to a Party Wall Agreement.

Jiwon Choi

After receiving quotes from 6 companies, we went for Peter Barry. Although not the most affordable option, their teams are well organised and promptly responded to our queries. We were happy with the building survey, which was helpful to decide whether we would proceed with the property as we had some concerns. (We eventually did and had the completion recently!) The report is professionally written and you may need to teach yourself if you are uninitiated. The only minus was the report didn't come with any photos of the property. We received some at our request later, but weren't so useful to be fair.

Jenny Owen

A really thorough and detailed survey efficiently delivered in the time specified. As a novice house buyer it really helped me to make good decisions about my property purchase. The surveyor was also available for a phone conversation which I found invaluable.

Excellent service overall from Shaun Blake at Peter Barry Surveyors.The initial survey had to be postponed last minute due to a potential collapse in the chain, but that was no problem.The report was exceptionally detailed and comprehensive, very often including details and recommendations which I would not have expected e.g. it is recommended that you enquire about this document further etc.The follow up service was also exceptionally good, with a walkthrough of the issues raised in the report in plain English, including e.g. X may take a roofer 3-4 days, Y will probably be 2-3 more years before it becomes a more serious concern etcFinally, Shaun said he would be happy to take a look over specific documents we had requested on the back of the survey, and when we sent these on he swiftly replied with a very useful and entirely comprehensive review.

We requested a Level 2 survey from Peter Barry, and our surveyor David Breeze was a godsend! As first-time buyers we were facing a lot of unknowns, and David went above and beyond to help us with the process. At our request, David gave us a call straight after surveying the property and talked us through his findings. He was extremely generous with his time, and had extensive knowledge of the local property market as well as the condition of the property itself. He answered all of our questions in-depth and even gave some useful insight into how to get the best out of our solicitors and estate agents. The survey report followed swiftly and was comprehensive and clear. We are very grateful to David, Joanne and the wider Peter Barry team for their service - working with them was one of the best decisions we made during the buying process.

After sending across documents requested, I was contacted by William Weaver at Peter Barry. He was excellent and offered me sound advice and guidance to move forward. William clearly has vast experienced in property and his knowledgeable was invaluable. It was refreshing not to interact with a faceless online portal. I would definitely recommend Peter Barry and William Weaver to anyone needing a surveyor and help with party walls. Many thanks.

Keith Young

Peter Barry were recommended by another independent surveyor who could not accommodate us due to work and holidays. The housebuying process and engaging a surveyor is entirely new to me. David Breeze who performed our survey exceeded all expectations I had. Not only was his report excellent but he has spent a considerable amount of time with us post-survey patiently explaining the significant and not-so-significant findings, answering all our questions and giving us invaluable advice on defect remediation and the homebuying process in general which I would have considered to be far outside the original remit but is very, very much appreciated.

John Cryer

William was very knowledgeable and provided excellent and objective advice.

Stacey Venn

Incredibly friendly company, easy to use and efficient. Thanks Steve and team!

Paul Church

Philip Georgiadis

Cristina Santos

Peter Barry Surveyors came highly recommended for our Homebuyer survey from family members. As first-time buyers the entire buying process can be quite overwhelming but having a survey that you can trust is essential. Ishrat and John kept their communication at all times and were very prompt booking the survey and answering any questions we add. A note I would just put forward, old houses surveys can be extensive and scare anyone out as well. This was the case with us, however call your surveyor to ask questions and arrange the specialist checks they advise prior to any panic.

Seb L

Had a great experience with James at PBS handling a party wall matter. All round professional and good comms. Our neighbours chose to use them as a joint surveyor and they seemed to act positively but fairly for all parties.

Anthony Mazen

Worth every penny! Thank you.

Stefan Georgiev

Peter Barry Surveyors came recommended by our architect, and we were very happy with their services. Callum Escott was very professional, kept us updated and got things sorted with our neighbor in no time. It was difficult to get hold of the owner at first as the property is rented out and the owner lives abroad. So they needed a little help from us chasing up the owner otherwise we would have missed the legal timeframe for getting a response. This is where we feel they could have been a bit more proactive... Overall great experience working with them and would highly recommend their services.

James Mackenzie

We recently had to get a party wall agreement arranged and completed at speed due to our building work commencement date being brought forward. The team at PBS was great.

Hervé Durán

Excellent experience with Peter Barry Surveyors. Very good service - would recommend!

Paul Morris

I was really impressed with Peter Barry. I am a first time buyer so the whole process is a bit of a labyrinth and they were quick and efficient. I called with the surveyor (Shaun) the day after the survey and went through the survey in detail with him. He was articulate, generous and easy to chat with. I had particular anxieties about the roof and Shaun went up and took a look, something all the other surveyors I spoke with wouldnt do. Happy to recommend

Julien Le Doaré

Very friendly and easy to communicate with the team. The report was simple and precise.

I contacted Peter Barry to discuss their defect survey service. I was helped by Shaun who gave me sound advice on when such surveys are useful, the type of access required for them to be effective, and, importantly, what they will not reveal.

I recently used Peter Barry Surveyors (Matthew Price) to assist me with the valuation of my property and the subsequent lease extension negotiations with my Landlord. Matthew prepared a desk top valuation report using floorplans I already had for my property, which was less expensive than but still very in-depth. Having never been through a lease extension process before he made it so much simpler for me. When I received the Landlord's counter offer which was initially quite high I was a little worried. Matthew was extremely professional and very efficient in keeping me updated. Matthew successfully negotiated with the landlords valuers on my behalf to reduce the lease premium down by over £2,000 on their initial offer. A very good outcome and I was extremely appreciative for all his efforts on my behalf.

The communication with Emma before and after the survey was quick and efficient.We had a level 3 survey which we were very satisfied with, I would recommend and use them again in the future.

Matthew Hill

I was really impressed by the quality of the report, and the time taken to explain the relevant issues in plain English. We asked a number of questions following the report - the surveyor took time (at no additoinal expense) to address each point fully and thoroughly. Highly recommended.

I have used their services twice, and both times they were very professional and the reports were easy to read and understand. I would recommend their services to any person about to purchase a property. Great work wish others in the property world were as reliable and professional.

I hired Peter Barry Surveyors for a complex residential build with neighbours who were opposed to the work. The surveyor I worked with, Justin Burns, was exceptional: He fended off difficult neighbours, competing surveyors and showed great attention to detail such that all works could commence on smoothly and on time. Highly recommended!

We used Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors (Steve Hobbs and Joanne Bartlett) to carry out our recent valuation report for our lease extension; we had already used them previously (Justin Burns) to draw up a party wall agreement. Both times they were truly excellent; they explained the end-to-end process to us, were efficient and responsive to our questions, pleasant to deal with, and the reports were delivered in super quick time. We have no hesitation at all in highly recommending their services (and have already done so) to others.

Joanne Brooks

Excellent, prompt and professional service from beginning to end. Would highly recommend this company.

Used Peter Barry Surveyors for a Home Buyers Report - they were responsive and had great communication throughout the process. They were even able to book my survey in at very short notice. Highly recommend!

Chris Hammond

We used Peter Barry for both a Homebuyer Report and a leasehold extension report. Both services were carried out efficiently, with any questions answered promptly. The reports were detailed and allowed me to progress our house move. Would use them again and have recommended to others.

Ruby Gregory

I recently had a survey with Peter Barry and was impressed with the level of detail. I walked away without buying the property because of the report, it really highlighted issues I couldn't have seen without an experts knowledge. Thank you!

Mike Selby

Peter Barry Surveyors carried out a full building survey for us in April 2020, in the midst of the Covid-19 lockdown. Naturally things moved slightly slower than would otherwise have been the case, but the process went ahead in straightforward fashion and the report, once delivered, was professional and comprehensive. Quite satisfied.

Qian Lu

I don't know much about surveys and have no point of comparison. But our purchase survey went well.I would have liked a bit more guidance from Peter Barry regarding the process. We were first time buyers and didn't really know when to make the payment or what are the next steps.

Alan Osborne

After contacting Peter Barry Surveyors, they were quick, efficient and the quality of their work was of the highest standard. I shall definitely be using them again.

Anne Hardy
