We instructed South Coast Building Consultancy to carry out a Schedule of Condition survey on a terrace of light industrial units and office accommodation as part of business aquisition. We were impressed by the clear communication from fee quote through to the issuing of the report. The lead in times for the inspection and delivery of the report were prompt.
