We required a RICS building survey on a house we are purchasing for buy-to-let purposes and needed a quick turnaround. The appointment was easy to arrange and we received a detailed, well written and extremely helpful report the next day. My husband also contacted Michael for further discussions about the content of the report and he was very knowledgable, helpful and forthcoming in this respect. We will definitely be requesting his assistance for further purchases in the Manchester area.
