We received the report just three days after the survey and were really impressed by how detailed and thorough it was. It included photos showing the issues the surveyor had identified, along with really useful explanations and recommendations.
Alex also called us after the inspection to talk us through the main findings, which was incredibly helpful and gave us a much better understanding of the property before receiving the full report.
We were really impressed with the whole service and would definitely recommend Murrins to anyone buying a property. A special thanks to Alex for doing such a thorough job!
Laurence was warm, personable, punctual, and very thorough. Laurence exceeded our expectations both in terms of turnaround time and the professional quality and presentation of the report. Most importantly, we felt genuinely supported throughout the entire process, which made what could have been a stressful situation far more manageable. Ann & Jen
Laurence called me straight after the inspection to flag an important finding and explained it in plain terms, which really helped me understand the situation.
Thanks to his survey, we were able to raise the right enquiries through our solicitor and feel reassured moving forward with our purchase.
I would highly recommend Laurence to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and supportive surveyor.
