PA Surveyors Reviews 

Initially, I was a little sceptical of PA Surveyors method of carrying out a full survey and then presenting me the info in a zoom call the next day as I liked the idea of having a large written report to refer to. Fortunately, I went with the multiple excellent reviews that Iain receives online and appointed him to carry out a full survey on a 3 bed, detached property I am purchasing...I was not disappointed. The survey he carried out was extremely thorough and relevant to my specific concerns. He took 2/300 photos and went through pretty much all of them in an extremely detailed and helpful zoom call the next day. I took copious notes during the call but he also records the call from his end and forwards the video file on with a maintenance guide afterwards so the notes aren't necessary. This method works out very cost effective and saves time both ends as I am sure having to produce a full written report is very time intensive and where the majority of the costs stem from. You can, of course, opt to receive the full report at a fixed cost, if you wish or you can take him up on his offer to write a report on any specific issues that are relevant to your sale at a very reasonable hourly rate. You are not under any pressure to take either of these options. I found the presentation was so detailed and presented so clearly that I did not need any further work produced. Ian is extremely knowledgeable of his industry and even recommends solutions and products that may allay any issues that arise. All in all, brilliant, very professional and how all surveys should be carried out. Thank you Iain.

Highly recommend Iain, he is thorough and able to communicate any concerns in laymans terms. Would use again.

Iain responded quickly and efficiently to all correspondence. The survey he provided for the flat was thorough and gave me the confidence to move forward with the purchase. He highlighted potential works that would be needed in the future aswell as those that needed addressing now. Thoroughly recommend this company.

Iain was absolutely brilliant from start to finish in sorting out the Consents for my Party Wall notices. Great communicator and so efficient in answering my emails and phone calls. I would definitely use him again and can thoroughly recommend him. Thanks Iain.

Wonderful, responsive, thoughtful, accountable and personalised service. Purchasing a house is stressful enough and Iain made this critical element feel very easy. Tied industry and local knowledge together seamlessly and never made it feel like we were on the clock. His supporting material, beyond his insight and expertise, was top quality. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Iain is very knowledgable about buildings and he provided a thorough and clearly written survey. In the meeting he helped us understand which of the findings are of importance by gently offering his perspective. He was willing to answer our many questions. His full report includes recommendations for maintenance/mitigation of issues, which can be very useful for the future. We highly recommend Iain and would happily use his services again.

I used Iain at PA Surveyors to conduct of a full Strutual survey on the property I was purchasing in Brighton. On my initial conversation with Iain he explained very clearly what surveys were available and once my decision was made he proceeded to get access to the property, followed by a very comprehensive written report. I will definitely use PA Surveyors again. Thank you

Very professional service with good communication throughout.

I didn't need a surveyor for a mortgage valuation but simply someone to review the property I was interested to buy to check for any serious (or not so serious) defects that I should be aware of before exchanging contracts.
PA Surveyors gave a thorough review that was detailed but also explained in a simple and useful way. The biggest advantage to me was that I didn't need a formal written report so could take the discounted video call option that meant the overall cost was very reasonable. They provided all photos and even a recording of the video call for my ongoing records.
Would certainly recommend.

Iain was professional, understood my remit, carried out the survey in a timely manner and his written report was clear, succinct and supported my photographic evidence . I was very pleased with the work he carried out.

Great level of service, very detailed and professional from start to finish and nice to have the flexibility over reports. Iain also responded to follow up requests very quickly and ensured our house buying process was smooth and reassuring

Excellent service. Very detailed property survey answering all my needs. Clear, cogent post survey briefing which explained items requiring attention and order of priority. A highly professional service delivered efficiently and to my timeframe.
I have no hesitation in recommending PA Surveyors.

Iain promptly provided me with a thorough and high quality survey for the property in Brighton I was purchasing as my first home. Great service and would highlight recommend for any home buyers in the area.

I would highly recommend Iain at PA Surveyors. He undertook a really thorough review of the property I was looking to buy and followed up with comprehensive feedback. He took the time to explain in layman's terms & gladly answered any questions I had.
I would use his services again should the need arise.

I have had to have a number off surveys by PA surveyors due to housing chains breaking down and have been happy to return to them on every survey. They are always happy to answer questions and to give advice.

Excellent Service. Very comprehensive survey and detailed in reporting the findings. Thanks Iain

Iain’s survey of our new house was painstakingly thorough. As part of the survey he took more than 270 photos. He then spent an hour going through the photos, explaining clearly the significance of the problems he had found. Most of the problems were the sort of defects that you expect to find in a 110-year old house. A couple, though, needed immediate attention. Iain gave us a very fair and balanced picture of what we were letting ourselves in for. Highly recommended.

The survey that Iain did was very thorough. The verbal review of the photos was excellent and every issue was explained. The written report covered all the issues raised by the verbal review. We were very pleased with the survey and would use Iain again.

I have never used a surveyor before and I found Iain very helpful and supportive. The information I received either by way of photos, verbally and written was very useful. I never once felt pressured into using this service and I will use them again and will recommend this company to everyone. Thank you for making me feel at ease.

Over the years, I have read a ton of reports but when I opened the one from Iain Plant I thought “Wow!”
Thorough, Professional, Concise, Comprehensive are just a few of my impressions and, with a very competitive fee, why go elsewhere?!
