Julian Record providing an excellent service from initial conversations through to his thorough visit and subsequent detailed survey. He had a good understanding of what we were trying to achieve and was confident in sharing ideas about how to move forwards. I would thoroughly recommend his service should you need help or advice with a building project.
Julian was incredibly helpful from the outset in providing us with a Level 3 survey for our house purchase. He went out of his way to complete this prior to a holiday, and provided us with a detailed report that exceeded our expectations. We cannot recommend him highly enough.
Julian is excellent.He conducted a level 3 building survey on a property of mixed ages dating back to1800 and sent me a wonderfully comprehensive report.He alerted me to matters that I could not have known about, as well as the ones I had been anticipating. After I'd read through the report, Julian spent time on the 'phone answering my follow-up questions and explaining clearly the implications of various matters. He gave me a good idea of the drawbacks. He also advised me about possible future problems that no-one can be sure about at this stage.Armed with that information, I have more confidence to continue with my purchase.I am very glad to have found Julian. If I need a surveyor again I will have no hesitation in going back to him.
Julian has carried out two building surveys for us. He was surveying the properties within days of us getting in contact and the reports were sent prompty. The surveys are very thorough, clear and concise. We would highly recommend his services and happily use him for all our surveying needs.
Julian managed the renovation of our barns for additional accommodation and the redevelopment of the other outbuildings into a new gym. His services were invaluable in keeping to the agreed budget and on top of the different trades required to complete the job. Julian approached each element of the job with an eye to detail ensuring that what we designed was delivered. This project was delivered during the pandemic with considerable material price inflationary pressures so we were very pleased that it was delivered on time and on budget.
We engaged Record Associates to help manage a £600k refurbishment of factory and office space - from tendering and contractor selection to completion. If I had a similar project I would use Julian again.
I had a dispute with a builder regarding the construction of a new build garage (see before and after photos). There were aesthetic and technical issues. Julian Record’s expertise and reporting helped to resolve the issue and the builder rebuilt the external leaf.Highly recommended.
I have been delighted with the surveys that Record Associates have carried out for me on properties over the the years. The attention to detail that has gone into the work has been outstanding and has provided real clarity as to what is required to repair or remove. The service was quick and efficient and the highly detailed reports we received, allowed us to make informed decisions about property purchases.
We commissioned a survey after a really useful discussion. Impressed with the clarity, detail and sensible suggestions re works and remedies. Approachable and responsive throughout. Highly recommended. Drone shots a bonus! Reached inaccessible detail.
Record Associates has dealt with many matters on our behalf over a number of years for our portfolio of commercial properties including Dilapidations, Schedules of Condition and service of repairing notices amongst other services. An extremely professional service with a personal approach. I recommend them highly!
Thank you for the Schedule of Condition you produced which was extremely comprehensive, well laid out and flagged more issues than we were aware.It will certainly protect us from having to address these issues ourselves at lease termination!We were particularly pleased with your advice on the fit out of the space and how the layout should be changed to suit the growing needs of our business, provide better space utilisation, ventilation and natural light.
