What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Surveys of residential property sit at the centre of the work carried out here, delivered by Peter and his office team. A handful of customers describe the reports as thorough and clearly set out, with photographs that make the findings easy to follow when buying a house. Reviewers often mention the speed of the process, from booking a viewing to receiving the completed document, often within days of the inspection. One thing mentioned again and again is the value of the exercise itself: buyers of older or seemingly refurbished homes report that hidden defects such as damp, roof damage, poor sealing, asbestos and electrical problems were identified, sometimes prompting them to renegotiate or withdraw.

Communication is praised before and after the job, with Peter available to talk through concerns and clarify points raised in the paperwork. Valuations provided alongside the survey are noted as useful for confirming a purchase price. The practice is described as reliable, professional and good value, and Peter is named for his approachable manner and willingness to explain findings in detail, whether the property is a new build or an established house.

Peter recently carried out an excellently detailed survey on a property we had put an offer on. The survey showed lots of extensive issues with the property, that Peter kindly took extensive time discussing through our concerns. The vendor didn't wish to negotiate, so we ended up pulling out of the sale due to the extent of the issues flagged. We put in an offer on another property soon after and used Peter to survey again. It was clear from the second survey that the new property was a much wiser purchase and we felt confident moving forward with the sale. Both Peter, and Fiona in the office, really helped make everything as straightforward as possible and calm the stress of pulling out of a sale and positively moved forward. Thank you!

Peter was able to schedule a survey within a week on a property I was hoping to buy - the report was sent to me the day after he had completed the survey - Extremely happy with the survey - Excellent value for money - very prompt and professional. I Was able to contact Peter afterwards to discuss the contents of the survey and he was able to clarify any questions I had The survey / report that Peter carried out was used to renegotiate a significant reduction in the property price with the buyer Would highly recommend

We were very happy with the survey from Peter McGibbon. It was very clear and thorough, and paid particular attention to issues we had concern about. The communication was really good and the survey was booked in and completed within a week. Peter was also available to talk us through the survey afterwards. Very happy with his work, would definitely recommend!

My husband and I wanted to buy an older house in South Belfast that was listed as newly refurbished - it had a brand new kitted-out kitchen and bathroom and looked immaculate on the surface. However thanks to the survey we found lots of hidden problems (mould and a hole in the roof, poor sealing, asbestos in garage, garage structurally unsound, house in flood prone area, need for new electrical wiring etc). The homebuyer's survey saved us thousands of pounds in further construction and the time/pain of hiring multiple specialist contractors. The survey was super fast and the report was incredibly detailed and helpful, it was well-priced and worth every single penny. We managed to pull out of the sale and saved ourselves a lot of heartache. We will never buy a house without Peter's report! Thank you to Peter, Jean and the team.
