Testimonials
"Harry played a key role in supporting a 250-property portfolio by providing insurance valuations for units across the UK. He also delivered a student accommodation fit-out in Exeter working to tight timescales and budgets. He approached the work with professionalism, consistency, and a clear focus on delivery."
"Harry provided pre-tender exercises for repair and remedial works to City Hall, East London, where his structured approach and attention to detail ensured a well-prepared and efficient procurement process. He also delivered full project management services for the demolition of the Rank Hovis Building, East London, effectively overseeing the works from inception to completion. His clear communication and commitment to quality played a key role in the successful delivery of the project."
"Harry supported us on dilapidations matters at lease end and helped us navigate the process effectively. His advice was clear and practical, and his input contributed to achieving reasonable settlements in both cases. He was professional, easy to work with, and kept things moving at the right pace. We appreciated his balanced approach and would be happy to work with him again if similar matters arise."
"I had a great experience with this business and Harry. They were extremely quick to respond, and the whole process — from my initial enquiry to receiving the final report — was completed within a week. Really efficient and professional service. Highly recommended!"
"We were in the process of purchasing our forever home and needed the peace of mind that the property had no hidden issues. We contacted Harry to arrange a survey and he was professional and friendly from the first phone call. He gave us everything we needed to make an informed decision on what services we should hire him for, and delivered the report in the extremely quick timescale that was agreed up front. The report was to the standard that gave us a detailed idea of the condition of the property and advice on any areas that needed attention, in addition the fee agreed was as promised and great value. We would definitely be using Harry again for any future projects."
"Cannot recommend Harry enough. He provided a competitive quote and arranged a thorough survey quickly. He is RICS accredited and the homebuyers report was very informative. He offered help in interpreting the survey and even worked organising things over weekends. If you want a survey I wouldn't hesitate to use HC Surveying."
