As first-time buyers RES Property Surveyors explained their services well and provided us with an extremely detailed report. Getting a report done properly in the first place helped save us from a purchase that would have costs us a lot in the long run.

Richard and his team are excellent! Great communication and exceptional professionalism throughout the process, I cant recommend Richard highly enough. I had my property valued with them three times. On all occasions, the surveys were detailed, clear and extremely well documented. On top of that, Richard went above and beyond to deliver the best value to me.
Richard showed his professionalism and experience yet again when the process stalled with the housing agency due to my solicitors mistake. When I came to Richard with my problem, he offered me most valuable advice and communicated

Outstanding service.
Undertook survey promptly after booking. Produced a thorough a report that was clear 2 days post survey. Took time to expand on elements of the survey that I required further explanation on. Everything felt straightforward and professional in my interaction with David and RES generally.

Daniel and Richard are very professional and experts in this valuation and reporting. We recently worked with both of them for a lease extension and they were excellent all the way to tribunal. Not only did they save us money on lease extension premium, they have been very attentive and detailed in their work. We highly recommend them and will appoint them again in future.
