Report
Professional and prompt service with a comprehensive report. Even offered to go back at no extra cost to look at the drains which were blocked by the sellers belongings.

Report
Wish I'd shopped around a bit more as it turns out I paid over the odds for my survey! A friend purchased a property similar to mine in the same area & she paid 120 less for a survey that was as thorough as mine.! It was written up in the same manner and, in actual fact, she also received a valuation on her property whilst Jones Battye charge extra if you want this. Therefore, would not recommend!
