Peter Barry Surveyors Reviews 

We used Peter Barry surveyors for a party wall process that we needed help with and they have been extremely helpful, professional and the process has been resolved to our total satisfaction. Katie and Trina who we dealt with have been great. Thank you we will definitely recommend to others

Very informative from the beginning and provided partywall awards within 3 weeks of instructing them.

Peter Barry Surveyors provided Party Wall agreements following a extension next door, provided excellent advice and provided documents very quickly. Highly recommended.

Received 5* service. Argash has been nothing but professional, helpful, polite and nothing is too much trouble, keeping us updated at all times. Definitely would recommend.

Good communication over email. As first time buyers we were seeking advice for types of survey required for the property we are buying, they were able to advise us and field our questions to help us make an assured decision.
The RICS Level 3 building survey was clear and precise.
We would recommend using Peter Barry Surveyors.

Peter Barry did an excellent job on my survey. They were diligent and did a very thorough job including drone images of the roof and guttering. Turnaround time was prompt and they addressed all of my concerns. I would highly recommend.

The team were competent and available fairly quickly but the survey was delivered after some chasing a day late. I also tried to arrange a brief 15 min call with the surveyor to talk through it, as was agreed beforehand. I was told he would call me but two weeks later I have not heard back. The survey itself looks complete and credible but the service around it is lacking and the price higher than local competitors.

Quick and easy transaction

I instructed a Level 2 Home Report on a property in Saint Albans. I was satisfied with the clear communication / timeframe to delivery - from the initial estimate, call with the surveyor - to discuss my particular queries which I wanted more depth of attention and information during the survey itself so that everything is documented. Following the survey, I had more queries that were promptly explained and addressed. This resulted in a better understanding of the condition of the properrty and next steps required in terms of repairs/costs. Given how stressful the buying process can be having a reliable survey and advisor can really take some of the stress away. I would highly recommend.

Very friendly, efficient and easy to deal with

We required a full survey report with valuation in short time. Peter Barry completed all requirements on time, accurately and with helpful recommendations. We would highly recommend this surveyor.

Lewis and team were brilliant, efficient and tentative.

Very professional and efficient drawing up my Party Wall Award. Can definitely recommend and would use again.

I rarely leave detailed reviews, but given the cost and importance of this service, I feel it is worth sharing my experience.

Unfortunately, communication throughout the party wall process was extremely poor. It was consistently difficult to get hold of the surveyor or received any meaningful updates, leaving me unclear on progress for long periods.

I was not informed when the initial inspection of my neighbour's property was arranged, despite the surveyor acting for both parties. When the visit did take place, it became apparent that key details had not been properly reviewed in advance - the scope of works (loft conversion as well as extension) was not understood, and the neighbouring property's layout as two separate flats with different owners had not been identified. As a result, the survey could not be completed and had to be repeated later, causing unnecessary delay.

These issues could have been easily avoided with basic review of the plans provided and publicly available information, or simple communication with the parties involved.

Overall, the process felt disorganised and lacking in transparency. Given the level of fees involved, I expected a far more proactive and professional service with more equal representation across parties involved.

They were prompt and delivered to a fixed price - many thanks

Such brilliant service and attention to to detail. Always available for follow up questions too.

The team were quick to respond and support working with both myself and the neighbour to have a Party Wall award in place. A special thank you to Matthew Price and Maianh Nguyen for their professionalism and attention to the matter.

Katie explained clearly the purpose of the party wall act and her role as our surveyor.
She was pleasant, efficient, knowledgeable and kept us updated with developments.
Admin was handled cheerfully and efficiently by Trina in the B Stortford office.
No hesitation in recommending this company.

I had a great experience working with Argash from Peter Barry Surveyors. From start to finish, he was extremely efficient, responsive, and professional.

What stood out most was how proactive he was — whenever he said he would follow something up, he did it straight away without delay. He kept things moving quickly, chased where needed, and made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free.

Turnaround times were very fast, and I always felt like things were under control. Communication was clear and consistent throughout.

Honestly, no complaints at all. If you want someone who is on the ball and gets things done properly and promptly, I’d definitely recommend Argash.
