Pablo, East Finchley, Building Survey
“I could not be more satisfied with the building survey we had carried out by Philip Smith on the property we are purchasing. He provided us with an incredibly thorough and comprehensive report that was coherent and easy to read. Many of the issues he raised we would have been unlikely to spot and his report gave useful recommendations on how to address the issues.
From the first contact with Philip over the phone I have found him to be extremely personable, knowledgable and approachable. He is very professional in his approach and replies to emails and phone calls promptly. He was recommended to us by a family contact who was equally impressed by his thoroughness and professionalism. We are extremely pleased with his survey and his report has given us enormous peace of mind with our purchase. Thank you!”

Jack, Building Survey
I was incredibly impressed with your survey and in the end decided not to buy the property based on your findings. I want to thank you again and I’ve passed your name on to some friends (one of whom I think has used you recently actually).
Tim, Building Survey
Phil put together a thorough and detailed report for the property I am buying. The report was extensive yet concise meaning I could easily go back to the vendor and highlight the relevant issues of concern to support further negotiations. He followed up with a one to one discussion to go over and all points and ensure everything was clear. I will certainly be recommending his services to any other’s i know requiring a survey.

Thank you for your quick and professional service and I will have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and family.
