Thank you for carrying out the survey which we've both found extremely good. For your information, we will be going ahead with the purchase and, thanks to your report, know what work we need to get done to ensure the house will be warm and dry in the future. We are very happy with the standard of service we received from your firm. You were friendly and approachable at every stage in the process and meeting with the surveyor was most satisfying. The plain English style of your report was also refreshing and made the 68 page document much less ominous than it might have been.
