NI Surveys provided us with an excellent, well-detailed survey full of illustrations, pictures and helpful advice. The communication from the company was excellent, they were always at hand for a quick phonecall or to help clarify anything I didn't understand, and they were competitively priced. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a home report or full survey in Belfast (and beyond!). Thank you very much.
