What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

PA Surveyors earns consistent praise for the depth and clarity of its survey work, with Iain named repeatedly across accounts. Reviewers describe Level 3 building surveys and valuations for planned purchases, and the reports are said to be thorough, detailed and easy to follow, setting out work needed across different timescales. A theme running through the feedback is prompt, efficient service and clear communication before, during and after a job, including immediate feedback following a site visit. Explanations are another recurring theme, whether distinguishing enfranchisement from lease extension or advising on defects, including which products to use and where builders are needed.

Customers also note punctuality, professionalism and transparent quotations, with an example report supplied in advance. The firm has been trusted to oversee external refurbishment of a residential block, where it was described as responsive, knowledgeable and reliable. Help to Buy redemption valuations are another service mentioned, completed within tight timeframes. Feedback points to an accommodating, collegiate team that tailors its output to the client's needs and is engaged again for later purchases, with Iain's name recurring throughout.

Excellent service from PA Surveyors, who provided a Level 3 building survey and valuation report for a planned property purchase in Brighton. The quote was clear and an example report was provided. When the survey needed to be rescheduled, they were accommodating too. Once the survey was complete, a thorough and detailed report was shared around a week later. I plan to use PA Surveyors again for another property purchase in future

Iain at PA Surveyors was great. We needed a Help to Buy redemption valuation as part of selling our flat and buying onward, and he was clear and responsive from the first email. Clearly experienced in this type of valuation, fitted us in quickly, and turned around a thorough RICS report on a tight timeline. Would happily recommend.

I highly recommend Iain Plant and PA Surveyors for property surveys. We used them for a Level 3 Building Survey/Level. Iain was extremely professional, and the report was incredibly detailed and easy to understand. His support was invaluable in helping us understand the findings and how to plan our next moves. It gain peace of mind about the purchase. A truly excellent and reliable professional service!

We used Iain to survey a defect on our home. Iain came recommended by a friend and exceeded expectations. Punctual, professional, clear and concise - the scope and output was tailored to what we needed. Gave advice on what work we could do ourselves including specific products we should use, and where we need builders and what exactly needs doing and how much to expect it to cost.

I had a great experience with PA Surveyors. I requested a quote for a Level 3 survey. Iain detailed all the work that was going to be carried out clearly. Simon carried out the survey and did an amazing job. He shared with me the highlights of the survey right after the survey for me to have an overview before having the full report. This was a huge help and it was greatly appreciated. The report was thorough, clear, and organised. I was able to address all major defects to the seller thanks to PA Surveyor and work out solutions to move forward with the sale. I would like to thank both Iain and Simon for their great work. I will definitely use PA Surveyors' services in the future.
