Don’t Just Take Our Word For It

We’re so grateful for Patrick’s survey of the house we were buying. He offers a professional service and thorough survey, and the report was incredibly helpful and informative. We appreciated the photographs he included to help us understand what work needed to be done. Now I’d never buy a house without getting a survey! I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone wanting a Home Buyer’s survey!

Paddy’s report was very detailed and contained information on all aspects of the house from the building itself to the land and boundary lines. He also backed up everything he had mentioned with photographic evidence and provided us with estimate costings for the repairs. The information the report highlighted was very insightful and flagged up more problems that initially we were unaware of. I highly recommend PDC Building Surveying and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

I asked Paddy recently for advice on a building survey I required, once he gave me advice on which type of survey would suit best Paddy carried it out in a very professional manner, the survey was very detailed as required and just what I needed. Easy to chat to and provided a great service. Since then, I also recommend Paddy to any of my clients that require independent building surveys, property condition reports, or home buyer surveys as I work in the property industry – they always give great feedback on services provided. Highly Recommend!
