Testimonials
Nick M
I recently had the pleasure of working with Clayton from Ayling Associates for a home survey on a property I am purchasing in London. From start to finish, Clayton was incredibly thorough, professional, and personable. The level of detail in the survey report was outstanding, covering every aspect of the property with clear, concise explanations. Clayton identified key areas of concern and provided practical, actionable recommendations that have been invaluable as I move forward with the purchase. His expertise, particularly in assessing structural concerns, gave me the confidence I needed to make an informed decision. Clayton was always available to discuss the findings and answer any questions I had, going above and beyond to ensure I fully understood every detail. His communication was excellent throughout the process, making what could have been a stressful experience much smoother and more manageable. I highly recommend Clayton and Ayling Associates to anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable surveyor. Their commitment to client satisfaction and their deep understanding of property issues truly set them apart. Thank you, Clayton, for your exceptional service!

gpt response text in sendRequest: **Commercial Due Diligence Survey for an Industrial Unit in East London** **Building Pathology Insights** During our recent commercial due diligence survey, we identified a few building pathology issues that warrant attention: 1. **Concrete Floor Slab**: Our assessment highlighted a significantly out-of-level floor slab. This indicates potential concerns with the original tamping, levelling, and concrete consolidation methods used during construction. Such issues may impact the overall structural integrity and usage of the space. 2. **Roof Panels**: It was observed that mismatched roof panels were installed, which compromises their ability to interlock effectively and achieve the necessary watertight seal. The interim solution employed—filling the interlocking gaps with mastic sealant—raises possible concerns about future roof leaks. We advised the client that these panels could be seen as out of repair at the lease's commencement, and proactive measures may be necessary to prevent water ingress during the lease term. Understanding and addressing these issues is crucial to safeguarding the asset's value and ensuring a smooth lease experience. Our team is committed to providing expert guidance and solutions to keep your property in optimal condition.
