Dealt with Katie, Irene and Bill. Reason I chose Avery was because everyone I spoke to was very helpful and lovely. Bill was excellent in taking the time to explain the survey to me over the phone. Can’t fault them.

Bill was very helpful during the purchase of our first property, a 1930s semi. Nothing was too much trouble. We sent him multiple questions during the conveyancing process as a result of regulations and building control documents, he replied to every single question within a day or less.

Bill was extremely thorough, and responsive on our house survey. He even took the time to discuss any questions I had before carrying the survey and once I had the chance to read through it afterwards.

On April 7th, I met with Kate. Brilliant service through and through. Firstly I was struck by her compassion and patience as I was running late. She waited for more than 20minutes and never complained. She got in and did her bits and if I say anything was less of a professional, I did be lying. She was very professional, friendly, she made me feel very comfortable and I remember chatting away for a while .. which made my anxieties less visible and I was at peace. She explained what she was doing and how she was going to use her findings at my property in a layman language so I could understand clearly. She reassured me and I cannot complain. Excellent job from this person . Thank you Kate.. 10/10 in my books. Xx MsLM
