What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

RICS Level 2 and Level 3 surveys, together with valuations, sit at the centre of the work described by customers of this Ipswich firm. Justin is singled out repeatedly for conducting detailed inspections and for remaining easy to reach afterwards, whether by telephone or email, when findings need clarifying. Reviewers consistently praise the speed with which reports are produced, often within a couple of days of the visit, and the clarity of those documents, which combine photographs with specific recommendations. The administrative side draws similar warmth, with Jaynell, Tracy and Maianh credited for courteous, efficient handling from the initial enquiry through to delivery.

A number of customers describe the reports as helping them to negotiate on defects they had not previously noticed, giving confidence to proceed with a purchase. A point that comes up often is the depth of the valuation and survey content, which is seen as comprehensive and well presented rather than merely adequate. Communication is maintained across the process, including when a named contact is on leave and another colleague steps in, and the team keeps clients informed at every stage, from instruction through to the final documented recommendations for a 1980s three-bedroom house.

I recently instructed a Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors (RICS Independent Valuer) to provide valuations for two of my properties for lease extension purposes, and I was extremely impressed with the service received. The valuation reports were completed promptly and professionally, with excellent communication throughout the process. What stood out most was the clear and practical advice provided regarding the expected lease extension premium, taking into account the current ground rent provisions contained within the leasehold documentation. The valuer demonstrated strong expertise, explained the implications of the ground rent clauses in an easy-to-understand manner, and gave realistic expectations of the likely premium payable. I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, efficient, and reliable RICS lease extension valuer.

Peter Barry's team kept me very well informed throughout the process and their surveyor's report was very thorough and informative, helping me a great deal in deciding whether to go ahead with the purchase.

I had a RICS level 2 survey carried out recently and had a good experience. They communicated effectively and got me the report within a couple days of the survey. It was detailed and highlighted a couple of issues I wasn’t aware of, so well worth doing.

Justin completed a level 2 survey plus valuation for us recently of a 1980’s 3 bed house. The report was provided promptly and gave us the detailed information we were looking for. Thumbs up also for Jaynell and Maianh for their courteous and efficient service.

We had a level 3 survey with Justin from Peter Cox administered by Jaynell. The survey was very clear and comprehensive and the correspondence with Jaynell was always a positive experience. The survey was completed without delay contains detailed descriptions and photographs of the subjects in question..would highly recommend.

Peter Barry provided me with a comprehensive and well written Home Buyer's Report and I received very prompt and efficient service from Jaynell and the Administration Team. I would have no hesitation in using this company again or recommending them to others.
