What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Commercial occupiers, landlords and tenants feature prominently among the projects described for this Manchester-based practice. Jon Powell, also referred to as Jon Fitzpatrick-Powell, is named time and again as the surveyor handling lease dilapidation demands, with accounts noting how a final invoice was reduced substantially through his negotiations. Clients commissioning dilapidation surveys and schedules of condition describe detailed, clearly written documentation that explains the background to a problem and sets out the remedial steps required, whether the issue involves a leak or a schedule of condition.

Customers in several reviews describe the reports as thorough and delivered without delay, and praise the depth of industry knowledge behind them. Something that features in review after review is how well matters are explained before and after the instruction, so that clients with no prior experience of the process feel supported. Efficiency and cost effectiveness are noted in relation to the advice given, alongside approachability and a professional standard maintained throughout. Structural work and commercial property inspection also appear, with careful assessment and plain explanation of technical points standing out.

I recently worked with Jon Powell who delivered with precision and professionalism. He was highly responsive, explained everything clearly, and his expertise in surveying, particularly in due diligence and schedules of condition, gave me real confidence in the process. He worked with ease and professionalism, highlighting building issues I would not have identified myself, saving me significant expense in the future. The report itself was detailed and exceeded my expectations. It broke down the steps and costs involved, while also providing an overall view of what to expect as a buyer. It seems Jon goes above and beyond for his clients, giving me both clarity and reassurance in the purchase process. Even the admin team, especially Linzi, was prompt, professional, and made the process seamless. In this environment where efficiency is key, that level of support was invaluable. Definitely someone I would trust to instruct again.

Jon at Allcott Commercial did an excellent job producing a detailed Schedule of Condition. He was very thorough, and clearly very knowledgeable in his field. The report was delivered promptly and to a high standard.

We recently employed Jon Powell to conduct a dilapidation survey of our premises and negotiate a financial settlement with our tenants. With previously no experience of the process it was good to have Jon on our side. He explained everything to us and was meticulous with his survey and negotiated an excellent financial settlement for us. Many thanks Jon. Graham Naylor

I would like it to be known that the level of service and assistance given by this company was excellent and then some. The work carried and was of high standard and more than competitive in pricing. As surveyors go I couldn't have got a better level of professionalism from start to finish especially from Johnathon who exceeded expectation. I highly recommend this company and for sure will be using Allcott Commercial on all future surveys we require.
