I began my career in the property industry in 1982 and since starting BCR Surveyors I have been providing specialist advice to clients and carrying out surveys on a diverse range of properties, of both modern and traditional construction, for both homeowners and purchasers. In addition to my surveying skills, I have more than 40 years of expertise in the residential property market, providing professional market appraisals and handling thousands of property negotiations - many clients find this expert knowledge of particular additional value when dealing with their own sale or purchase. I have a special interest in energy efficiency measures and retrofit which is becoming increasingly relevant for many of my clients with the current move to reach net zero.
I am very proud of the reports I have produced for clients and have received very positive feedback - see below.
Testimonials
‘Just coming back to you on this excellent survey. I have forwarded it to my solicitor who is similarly impressed, and stated ”your surveyor has done a good bit of my job for me!”… …and thanks once again for an excellent report – really put my mind at ease, and you’re right – it does provide a road map on how to look after the property that will be relevant for a good few years.’
‘I just wanted to thank you for all your help and advice… all the photos in the report were very helpful.’
BCR Surveyors recently carried out a level-3 survey for us, after another property (and another surveyors firm) fell through. What a refreshing change - their professionalism is! Jeremy got in touch prior to understand the context thoroughly and to set expectation levels. The survey took place with no delay nor hiccup. A few days later, and earlier than originally discussed, we received a considered report, packed with detailed information and it was clear Jeremy had taken time and attended to all details, which made us very confident in the report and encouraged us to go ahead with the property, full of confidence. Jeremy answered all our questions quickly and professionally and was friendly throughout the process. We warmly recommend Jeremy and BCR Surveyors.
‘We’ve been through the report thoroughly this week and don’t think we have any questions as you have explained everything so well!’
