PA Surveyors Avis 

Iain and Josh provided a great service and a comprehensive report for our prospective house purchase, very professional from the start.

We have used Iain twice now. He quickly turned things round. His zoom talk through is really detailed, insightful and helpful. You can keep the zoom video to refer to after. I walked away feeling confident that he had really done his job, and helped us. I would use him again, as I already have.

Excellent experience with PA surveyors. Iain did what he said he would do. He worked to our schedule, providing a thorough written and verbal report for the flat we were purchasing. He was clear in what he said, giving detailed information I could understand. I would definitely use him again.

We engaged Iain in regard to a studio apartment we were looking to purchase in Hove. He provided an exceptionally detailed feedback report and photographs as part of a thorough review of the property in a timely and professional manner. Would recommend.

We’ve been on quite a journey with Ian as we’ve navigated the complicated property market of the last couple of years, and needed several surveys. He’s been a great person to have on board. He provides jargon-free advice on Brighton’s often eccentric houses – he provides loads of photographs and great advice on how to preserve Victorian buildings and put right any issues. Having a survey done can be stressful but he makes it much less so thanks to his clear guidance – he provides a copy of video calls to refer to later.

We recently contacted PA Surveyors as we needed a valuation for a flat lease extension. Iain Plant was very knowledgeable and professional. He was able to offer his expert advice where needed. Our survey, complete with a detailed report, was carried out in a timely manner.
We would happily recommend PA surveyors.

Iain was recommended to me during my recent house purchase. Setting up the survey was quick and simple. He sent over lots of photos ahead of the video call report and was very thorough in going through them, pointing out specific points and making recommendations. I found the video call format to be really helpful - being able to ask questions and clarify points in real time rather than in response to a written report is invaluable. Iain was happy for me to share the invite link with a family member who would be helping me to arrange any necessary remedial work so it was great they could join live and ask questions as well. He ran through the various options available if I wanted a full report or just specific points to be written up, but as there were no areas of particular concern I was confident that I had enough with the video call recording. There were a couple of follow up questions about party walls and building regulation requirements that my solicitor had when she was finalising the purchase and Iain was very prompt in providing a response. Would thoroughly recommend Iain to anyone looking for a surveyor.

This is the second time I have had a survey done with PA Surveyors. Iain is very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. It was a very detailed survey with over 250 photos and he answered all my questions via a zoom meeting which I found very helpful. On the basis of the survey I then went ahead with purchasing the property.Thanks once again Iain for a great and thorough survey.

I would thoroughly recommend PA Surveyors for a home survey. I liked the format of a video report; Iain was amenable to questions, and the report was detailed and to the point. A number of follow up questions were answered no problem, and I was confident in his expertise and attention to detail. Thanks once again for the service.

What a brilliant service!
We contracted Iain at PA Surveyors to carry out a property survey. Iain was supper helpful and provided first class communication with us throughout the process. After the survey was completed we joined Iain online to go through the various photographs of the survey results, this was so helpful for us to visually see/weigh up all the works that needed to be done. I would 100% recommend using PA Surveyors and will definitely be engaging their services again on our next purchase.

We were after a critical lens on a purchase and we got exactly what we wanted. Iain is clearly highly experienced in the field and gave recommendations on things we would have never spotted as well as drafting up what is essentially a check list for us for the future.

Would recommend!

Iain provided an excellent service. He was quick to respond to my initial enquiry, flexible with his availability and then thorough with his report. The feedback after the survey was detailed yet delivered in a way that was easy to understand. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and if needed, will engage him again in the future.

Iain was brilliant. We instructed him to conduct a survey for a home purchase. He went into great detail and provided over 200 photos of the property. He followed up with a 90-minute video call to go through his findings. This helped us to decide the level of report we needed. He was very informative and gave us the confidence to proceed with our purchase.

It's difficult to select a Surveyor when buying a house, as one doesn't have the knowledge to make an informed decision. We chose Iain at PA Surveyors, mainly because we'd used him before, but also because he's good and straight forward chap. We again chose to have the Building Survey with a video report in which Iain spoke to us online for around two hours. Iain was meticulously thorough and presented it all in layman's terms so it was easy to understand. Can't recommend highly enough.

Iain was very easy to deal with. He was able to quickly and simply arrange via the estate agent to survey our intended purchase. A very thorough assessment of the house was conducted and a detailed walkthrough given to us which gave us the confidence in the property, but also a comprehensive and prioritised jobs list for work we will want to do on our new property.

Iain surveyed a house we were purchasing and unveiled some really important things within the property. We had an hours phone call which he recorded, explaining what he found and what each thing could mean for us. He then provided further support by recommending some specialised asbestos contractors to conduct lab testing for us. Iain’s report was an integral part of us moving forward with our sale. He was really thorough, and a pleasure to deal with.

The survey was comprehensive with the meeting to go through the report very thorough, but also very easy to follow with good use of photos to help to explain the findings. The report gave us great reassurance that there were no serious issues that would need to be addressed.
The report was issued in a very short timeframe which also was of real help in keeping the purchase moving along.
I would highly recommend Iain to anyone looking for a surveyor.

Iain from PA Surveyors completed a homebuyer survey for me and I couldn't be more satisfied with the work that been carried out. He has provided me with an honest professional opinion as well as pointers of potential enhancements for my new property. Thank you so much.

Comprehensive is the best word I can use to describe Iain's survey, which is just what I wanted buying a property. From the initial call to the online video chat in which Iain went through everything in detail to my email query follow-up after, Iain was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Thank you.

Really thorough, professional, insightful and balanced survey. Iain clearly knows his stuff and he took his time to assess everything we needed to know. The price was also very reasonable. Highly recommended.
