Mike provides an excellent and efficient service, it only took one week from the survey to receive a very good clear and detailed report on the property my daughter was looking to purchase. His price was competitive and I will definitely be using his services in future. If you need a surveyor in Newcastle I would highly recommend Mike.

Michael produced a very detailed survey with clear recommendations and actions. As a result of Michael's survey we were able to make informed decisions on our next steps when purchasing our new property. Would certainly recommend.

Michael was efficient and thorough with the survey on my purchase . He was readily available to answer my questions on receipt of the report . This is the second time Michael has carried out a survey for me and I would recommend him to anyone wanting a survey - home buyer's or full survey - both were detailed and accurate and guided my pathway .

Mike did an excellent job for us. He is thorough and professional. Cannot recommend him more highly. We have used his services twice now. The first time, he found a lot of issues with a house we were looking to buy and I am so relieved we got that information from him and chose not to buy it accordingly! The second time, Mike again did a great job. He even called me to go through everything and make sure I understood the report properly. I am no expert on houses and we are first time buyers so having someone like Mike on our side to review and explain things was invaluable. Thank you, Mike!
