We chose Alan due to his extensive experience in surveying and can confirm he is worth every penny! We are first time buyers and literally had no idea what we were doing - Alan was prompt, thorough and friendly. He was always happy for a call to answer our questions which we really appreciated! His surveys are excellent. From what Alan identified in one property we managed to dodge a bullet - a choice which has resulted in settling on a house much better suited for us! We highly recommend Alan! Thank you again :) Katie and Tommy x

Alan was very professional and thorough throughout the survey. His attention to detail and clear explanations gave me full confidence in understanding the property’s condition. The report was comprehensive, well structured and easy to follow, covering even the smallest points with care. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable and detailed surveyor.

Alan carried out a survey for us during our house purchase in North Bucks. He was personable, communicated clearly beforehand, booked us in promptly, and provided a thorough, detailed report quickly. The inclusion of numerous photos, including roof shots, was especially helpful in guiding our purchase and future renovations. Highly recommended.

I would like to recommend Alan to anyone who is looking for a surveyor. His Level 3 Surveyor's Report is detailed, efficient with nice photos for the illustrations. The 100+ pages report comes out in the same day of the inspection. He welcomes my phone call for further explanation and advice. Amazing and brilliant!

Would highly recommend Alan for residential surveying. He completed our level 3 survey in the morning and produced the report later that day. The report was very thorough and professional, he also rang us to summarise his findings. Quick turnaround and great service! Thank you

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC’s)

EPCs are required by law, and with our EPC you’ll be able to tell how energy efficient the property is that you are interested in buying, selling or renting out. EPCs are needed when a property is built, sold or rented out. If you are selling a property you will need to order an EPC for potential buyers before you market your property. We offer EPCs for both commercial and residential properties.

The data collected will consider the age of the property, any extensions, the construction, relevant fittings and insulation. Our EPC will give you recommendations on ways to improve energy efficiency and we’ll be able to give advice on any major defects or immediate issues found, including the potential cost of repairs. All Energy Performance Certificates give your property a rating from A to G, with A being the most energy efficient and G the least. With our expertise we’ll be able to suggest ways to cut energy costs and reduce the carbon footprint of the property, including possible alternatives for heating or electrical methods.
