BACK TO NEWS“We had a Schedule of Condition carried out on a Commercial Property. From vacant possession to our proposed completion date we were really tight on time. Gary managed to carry out the inspection and write a very thorough report in the time needed to ensure we hit our completion date. The price of the report was also extremely competitive. I would recommend Lea Hough to anyone looking for a Professional Surveyors with excellent service & communication at a competitive price.”

"I have read your report again and I appreciate the level of detail and the effort you have gone to in surveying the property - thank you. You’re looking at properties every day and you know what you’re looking for – so you’ve seen things that I would never have spotted. You have opened my eyes on numerous defects on this property and am seriously thinking about leaving the idea of buying. The report was money wells spent!"
Guido Staffa, GS Tiling Contractors Ltd.
"I just wanted to say thanks so much for this and to both yourself and Martin for your help overall.
Just to inform you, we have actually pulled out of the purchase now and we’re relieved. The report flagged upto 20 issues that we weren’t really aware of, so we’re really pleased and relieved that we had the survey performed – I’d hate to think of the additional costs that we would have incurred just to put the core fundamentals right. So thank you again – service, helpfulness and output (report) were all superb."
Thanks v much,
John Bird, Financial Reporting Manager, Guenther Bakeries UK Ltd
