Oct 26,2023We first met Steve when the buyers of our property used him to survey our house and we were impressed by his service and the level of inspection he conducted. We then appointed Steve to conduct the survey on a property we are in the process of purchasing and received his great service first hand. Steve is thorough, reliable, very professional and gave us great advice following the survey he conducted for us on a house that we were aware needed quite a bit of TLC. We knew it was a project when we were considering it however, with his expertise, Steve brought a few more elements of work to our attention that you simply wouldn’t know without having experience in property development. We would highly recommend Steve to anyone requiring a property survey.

Aug 15,2023Steve was very thorough in the survey and gave us a lot to consider. He also offered us a video call following the survey to provide more detail and offer avenues we could take for repairs. We felt very well informed of our purchase.

Aug 31,2022We instructed Palmer Lim to do a full building survey on a house we're hoping to buy and were very happy with the service. They were clear from the start, good value, and thorough in the survey. The report was detailed and clear, and Steve was on hand to answer any follow up queries we had. Would definitely use Palmer Lim again, couldn't fault them!

Aug 24,2022I used Palmer Lim services for my property's full survey. I wouldn't recommend their service because when it comes to briefing the client on the 100% of the things they should know, they have done 80%. In my case, pointing out the property's internal walls are plyboard not brick which will have sound transmission impact. They need to improve the on the things which they find as a concern/potential impact in client briefing not merely stating in the report.

May 19,2022Clear and concise report - supplemented by an excellent discussion to clarify all of the pertinent issues at the property. I would recommend a drone survey if any roof element is being surveyed.

May 05,2022We instructed Palmer Lim to do a survey on a house we wanted to purchase. The survey was thorough and have us huge comfort for such an important decision, especially as we had the chance to ask follow up questions about the survey which really helped clarify some of the points raised in the report. I would highly recommend their work and would not hesitate to instruct them again.

Feb 12,2022After receiving my detailed survey I wanted to discuss a few of the findings. This wasn’t possible on the phone but had to be via a video call so it could be recorded. That is absolutely fine but I’m not the most technical person so wasn’t very quick at doing this. I found Steve to be very impatient me and did not have a friendly manner at all. I could hardly hear him as the conversation kept breaking up. I then tried to communicate through email and ask for photos so I could get other help which I did with far more friendlier and helpful professionals. I did tell him how I felt which he apologised. This wasn’t a good experience for me therefore I can not recommend to others.

Jan 25,2024I found Palmer Lim invaluable. You get a very detailed Level 2 Home Survey Report with a lot of useful info. We were so impressed that we used them again after our first house purchase fell through. The great thing about Steve Palmer is his knowledge and experience and you can raise any concerns in your report with Steve face to face. This has to be done through Teams which can be a bit fiddly but well worth it. You can tell Steve loves being a surveyor. If you’re looking for peace of mind (and you should be when buying something of such financial magnitude) Then you can’t go with Palmer Lim.
