Gary has done three home surveys for my family now including my own. He was much cheaper than other quotes I received, offering great value for money. Communication is clear and easy to understand, and Gary is polite and pleasant to deal with. I will be recommending him in the future! Thanks Gary.

I have used Gary as my surveyor twice and both times he has provided excellent service.
Gary is reliable, communicative and he was willing to go the extra mile to make sure I had all the information about the properties.
He was also always happy to explain things I didn’t understand. Highly recommended.

Gary was very professional from the first contact made to him to the survey report. The survey was great with photos of areas that needed attention & the description of his report was easy to follow.
Would definitely recommend him .

We had a great experience using GB Residential Surveys and Gary was excellent at communicating with us and providing a prompt survey. The survey itself is comprehensive and well presented, providing us with detailed information so that we can make informed decisions about the property we are purchasing. We would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a quality and well priced residential survey.

Outstanding service! I would highly recommend Gary. Gary went though our new build home with huge attention to details. Gary provided an excellent well laid out report that easily identified any issues with our home. We have been able to send this directly to our developer.
Gary’s attention to detail is second to none!

Buying a new build comes with the reassurance of a warranty and a fair expectation that the property you buy will be build to a good standard.
That said, as a first time buyer spending an alarming amount of money on a home and very much aware of some horror stories about new build properties, there was no way my partner and I were going to trust our own instincts or the word of a developer that our property wasn't hiding any nasty surprises further for us down the line.
As a result we enlisted Gary for piece of mind and the opportunity to get a definitive list of snags together to address with the developer.
Gary did a thorough and painstaking job, documenting everything as he went, and presenting an extensive report at the end. While there were some things we had spotted, Gary identified some things, such as they way some cladding had been attached to the front of our house, that we would never have spotted.
The result was a significant reduction in the anxiety of buying a new home, and a higher quality result as we identified and were able to remedy the issues Gary found with the developer. We highly recommend his services, and wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Gary is fantastic very professional and enthusiastic. Has made me feel a lot more comfortable with our ongoing purchase of a property. The report was very informative and Gary's follow up phonecall and debrief was extremely valuable with a good analysis of the property. Solutions and improvements were also discussed which was fantastic and has also made me feel right at home. ( well not yet but hopefully soon)
Thank you again Gary

Gary was very professional and punctual in a homebuyers survey that he completed for us in the agreed time scale, he took care of everything from arranging access to the property via the estate agents and then we received an incredibly detailed report within 3 days of the site survey that was easy to read and understand then Gary took the time to speak to us on the phone a few days later to clarify any questions we had that was a really useful touch for us both .
Thank you so much Gary for your hard work and professional report. Would definitely recommend and use your service again.

I was very impressed with the quality of service provided by Gary and Martin. My initial inquiry was answered very quickly and the communication was excellent throughout. As a first-time buyer I received lots of very good advice, from a first call before booking the survey that explained the whole process through to the debriefing call after the survey. Gary has also taken the time to answer subsequent questions about moving forward with the results.
The survey itself was extremely comprehensive, but also very clear.
Finally, I did actually have to move the survey back three times and they were extremely accommodating.
I would definitely recommend their services, especially to first-time buyers.

Gary was very thorough in his survey of the property. He went into a lot more detail than expected with useful pictures and explanations. The follow up call to go over a few things was invaluable to get a better idea of some of the issues. I highly recommend Gary's services, very professional and approachable. Would use again in the future.
Thanks!

He was very prompt with sending through the report for me to read, and also followed this up with a phone call in order for me ask about anything I was unsure of.
I would highly recommend, and will use him again when required in the future.

Gary set up the survey date with the property agent with no fuss. 3 days after the survey the very detail report is in my email inbox. Gary suggested a briefing phone call but I insisted a face to face meeting. Gary don't mind walk the extra mile to come to near to me for a detail go through. Gary is professional and enthusiastic and I will definitely recommend his service.
