Report
Daniel carried out a home buyers survey on our behalf during October 2020. The report itself was excellent, going to a great level of detail but also being written in a way in which we could easily understand. Following the survey Daniel took extra time to speak with us on the phone regarding a few minor items he had spotted. I would recommend Daniel without hesitation!
