Very thorough and clearly laid out report. Highly recommend Iain’s detailed house survey to give you comfort and help you navigate the house buying process.

Iain does a thorough and detailed survey and for his lowest-tier pricing you get a detailed Zoom report, hundreds of photos and a list of all recommended works and issues which are accepted by the seller's agents with regards to re-valuing the property. I was recommended PA Surveys by a friend who lives in Brighton and I can highly recommend him. He always finds things you haven't seen and will give you an honest account of the building and property in question. You also get a recording of the Zoom meeting so you can reference the information at a later date on completion of the purchase.
Professional and trustworthy
I have used Iain before and would not hesitate to use him again. He responded quickly, inspected the property, gave me a verbal report which was followed up quickly in writing. Professional and charming. I trust his professional wisdom.
Came away with a better understanding than we'd hoped for
Excellent experience as a first time buyer with PA Surveyors.
Great communication, fair price, and the video discussion format gave us so much more clarity than we could have hoped for. Josh provided so much guidance on areas of concern in future and tips for maintenance. It's really given us a good knowledge of what to watch out for and where to invest our money once the purchase completes. He also went above and beyond when our solicitor asked for extra reassurance on a specific point. Wouldn't hesitate to use PA again in future.

PA Surveyors provided me with a Level 3 survey. They gave me a comprehensive and fully illustrated report which was clearly marked up to highlight the different areas of inspection and raised any legal issues that may have been of concern.
From it I was able to have a good understanding of the problems that existed with a detailed understanding of the works necessary to overcome the issues raised.
I was also able to ask my own questions concerning these and get clear answers to the queries.
The survey was promptly taken and an initial report given quickly which helped inform my decision concerning the property, added to which, local knowledge was also an advantage. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future.
John Mainwood - Homebuyer Survey
Having used Iain Plant nine years previously I searched to find him. I'm convinced he's a Tina Turner fan. "Whatever You Need" he provided me with not only a survey but also costings. "What You Get Is What You See" he detailed everything he found in his thoroughly professional service with clarity and guidance classifying works requiring immediate attention and those that would become due in the near future. "Steamy Windows" I found him to be knowledgeable on condensation causes and rectification. "I Can't Stand The Rain" the latest survey he carried out for me highlighted damp areas in the property that I was proposing to buy. I can only conclude with "The Best", a recommendation in itself for the first class all round service provided in an efficient timely manner leaving me with absolute clarity on how to proceed.

Iain and the team at PA Surveyors helped us with the building report on our recent property purchase.
They were efficient, diligent and able to explain technical matters in a way that we could understand.
Their input was invaluable in ensuring we had the peace of mind required to buy a 120+ year old property.
Would recommend.

We had an excellent experience with PA Surveyors. Iain was very responsive at the outset in terms of booking the survey and valuation, and the level of detail in the survey was very impressive. Iain spent a lot of time with us going through his findings so we could make a well informed decision on the purchase. He also made himself available for follow up questions which he was only too happy to help us with. Would thoroughly recommend.
Super professional
Super professional, everything ran smoothly, as expected and would highly recommend.
Excellent surveyor
Iain provided a survey of a house for us. We were very impressed with the level of detail and his even-handed and clear explanations of his findings. He contextualised his report superbly and was excellent at clearly flagging what required attention in both the short and long term, as well as highlighting the many positive things he had found. He made us really excited about the house. We recommend him unreservedly.
Detailed and Expert.
Iain did a tremendous job for us. We received a deeply thorough and helpful survey report. His personal, verbal briefing on the key issues really helped us understand exactly what we were buying. He clearly has deep local expertise and understands the idiosyncrasies of regional construction techniques. Highly recommended.
Efficient & Effective Service
Very responsive communication from start to finish & filled me with confidence in how they responded to questions.
