Superb service that is totally hassle free. They took care of arranging access with the agents, completed the survey and produced a really comprehensive and clear report. They were professional and courteous throughout and I will definitely be using them again in the future.

We've use McNeill Lowe and Palmer to survey each of our last three properties...  The service has always been excellent, they are friendly, efficient and precise. The information contained in the survey reports has been very useful indeed.  Highly recommended.

One aspect of your report that gave us great confidence was that it felt truly bespoke - not simply cut-and-paste. Your surveyor seemed genuinely interested in our house, caring enough to add an insightful point of view to their clear, objective advice. We would recommend your company without reservation. Mr MW

Peter from McNeill Lowe & Palmer recently completed a survey on a house we are buying.  He was a pleasure to deal with, delivered a very thorough and professional report and happily took the time to answer my many questions.  He made some very clear recommendations, which we followed and we now feel confident and secure in our purchase.  An excellent service - thank you!

McNeill Lowe & Palmer completed a Housebuyer Report for us when purchasing a property in Harpenden and we were really impressed with all aspects of the Service! Communications were very clear and timely, the site visit and report were completed very promptly and of good quality, and they later helped answer some follow-up questions we had based on the results of our environmental searches. All-in-all, very impressed and would thoroughly recommend!

Fantastic service! After a very detailed report they was able to go through any questions of the breakdown on the report! Not that you need to ask them much as the survey has everything covered! Couldn’t be more happy with their service and will be using them every time going forward! Thank you once again!

I have know Peter Mcneill personally and professionally for over 17 years.  Last year Peter acted on behalf of myself and my neighbour to draw up a party wall agreement.  Peter offered expert advice in an extremely prompt and professional manner which was fair and balanced to both parties.  I would not hesitate in highly recommending Peter and the wider company of Mcneill Lowe and Palmer.  Top notch service.

I requested some search and survey work to be carried out on our home and land.  I had little success elsewhere getting the proper advice.  I was recommended to McNeill Lowe Palmer.  I met with Owen and Peter and they were very polite and knowledgeable helping ensure that they could provide what I needed.  The follow up was prompt and the fees as per their original estimate.  Overall pleasant experience. Would recommend.

I was introduced to McNeill Lowe & Palmer by a neighbour. I dealt directly with Peter whom I have found incredibly helpful, efficient and transparent. This was impressive considering our tight timeline and over the Christmas break. Very impressed.

McNeill Lowe & Palmer carried out a survey on a house I was buying in Harpenden. The report was excellent: comprehensive, detailed, clear and very helpful. As well as confirming the house was OK to buy, it gave me a very good list of items I should keep an eye on in my maintenance of the property. First class service all round and strongly recommended.

Mark came to my property to carry out a Valuation Report Survey in order for me to sell my property as it is a requirement by the Housing Association. I found him, honest and trustworthy. I would thoroughly recommend McNeill Lowe & Palmer's services to anyone who want someone you can trust!

I want to say thank you so much for all your hard work (and I know it was hard) but also your support, you probably saved me a nervous breakdown.

We recently used this company to carry out a survey on a property looking to purchase.  From the outset Peter McNeill was clear and concise with the services they offered, and was professional and warm in his approach. Once the level required was agreed, we awaited the report. Based on his thorough review of the property, several additional points we had not been aware of came to light. Because of this we were able to go ahead with the property purchase, fully aware of the issues and reassured on those we had questioned, supported with a fully bound, photo assisted report on both soft and hard copy for our reference.McNeill Lowe and Palmer have a strong reputation that is well deserved. They provide a service that is excellent and professionally driven, without compromising on the personal element.  We would not hesitate to recommend and/or use their services in future.
