We found Richard who made the communication and booking very easy and was just a lovely person to work with. He called us straight after the survey and report came next day. A gem in this industry!
Richard was fantastic … took time to give us advice after. We felt it was a very professional service … Highly recommend him!
Richard was exceptionally good. He explained everything really well, was professional, punctual and very knowledgeable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services.
He was very knowledgeable of the local area and the property market in general … He undertook a significant amount of research to justify his valuation … I would thoroughly recommend Richard Prescott to anyone needing an independent surveyor.
Very thorough, professional and detailed in the report, and happy to answer any questions we had. We were able to secure a reduction in the sale price as a result, so very happy.
The report was very detailed and useful. My Solicitor noted how extensive it was compared to the usual ones he sees.
