The survey was very informative, if he could see it he reported on it.
It was much more intense than other surveys if had done through the years.
I got a phone call when it was finished and he went over everything that needed to be looked at.
I then received the full report the next day.
Excellent service

We initially used Aaron earlier in 2025 however that property purchase fell through - when we found a new property to we didn’t hesitate to get back in touch with him again and would use him in any future house purchases without fail.
Aaron is incredibly thorough - his attention to detail is outstanding, I have no doubt that if there is even the tiniest issue with a property, Aaron will identify it. He is always happy to talk through anything and explains things in a way that actually makes sense which was helpful.
Couldn’t recommend him and his team more!

Aaron Daniel (The Real Estate Grp) was recommended to me by a friend to complete a RICS Survey. Aaron was professional, reliable & his services were value for money. The survey of my 1bed flat took hardly any time to do and the completed survey was sent within 4days. I would highly recommended The Real Estate Grp if you require a RICS Survey.
