Peter Barry Surveyors

Over 40 Years of Residential Expertise Across London and Sevenoaks

We aren't just another firm of surveyors; we are a well-established fixture in the London property market. Founded in 1983, Peter Barry has grown from a small North London office into a powerhouse team of over 20 professionals operating from six offices across the capital and Sevenoaks.

Our journey, led by Director Justin Burns since 2000, has been defined by a commitment to modern, efficient, and client-friendly service. We understand that property can be complex, which is why we focus on providing clear, actionable advice tailored to your specific project.

Why Homeowners and Buyers Trust Our Reports

Buying a home is likely the biggest investment you'll ever make. We believe you deserve more than a generic checklist. Our RICS-qualified surveyors provide personable, tailored advice that goes beyond the report.

Whether you are a first-time buyer in Kensington or a homeowner in Sevenoaks, we ensure you move forward with total confidence. We are even happy to negotiate with other surveyors, freeholders, or agents on your behalf to ensure your interests are protected.

Specialists in RICS Level 2 and Level 3 Surveys

We offer a range of inspection levels to suit every property type.

• RICS Level 2 Home Survey: A cost-effective mid-level report for modern homes, evaluating condition using a clear traffic-light system.
• RICS Level 3 Home Survey: Our most in-depth report, recommended for older houses or properties in poor condition. We examine the structure and services in detail to identify hidden defects.

Expert Party Wall and Leasehold Consultancy

Beyond standard surveys, we are renowned for our specialist consultancy services. We have a dedicated team of specialist party wall surveyors ready to assist whether you are planning additions to your property or have received a notice from a neighbour.

Furthermore, we are experts in the Leasehold Reform Act. We routinely prepare valuations and undertake complex negotiations for lease extensions and freehold purchases, ensuring you get a fair deal under the law.

"Our mission is to provide a personable service with advice tailored to your specific project, helping you make the best decisions regarding your property."
