Durie Heritage - highly recommend.

Durie Heritage provide an excellent service. They responded to our email swiftly and booked us in for a survey. On the day, Alison and John arrived promptly and explored every corner of our house. The report provided to us at the end of the service was easy to access, and understand, and very comprehensive. We would highly recommend Durie Heritage. In addition to the above, John and Alison offered support after the survey to help with next steps and future projects - which we thought was a wonderfully personal and caring touch.

Cat 'B' Listed Building Pre-Purchase Survey

Unable to rely on the standard Home Buyers Report I contacted John Durie to determine if he could help identifying potential work that would be required on a Scottish Category 'B' listed house that I was proposing to buy. John produced the most detailed 39 page report with images of everything from a missing light bulb to asbestos on the garage roof. The report enabled me to make an informed decision on whether to buy at all and the report helped to determine how much I should pay. I cannot recommend John highly enough. Outstanding, diligent, professional service.

Helpful, thorough and knowledegeable

John and Alison of Durie were very helpful and thorough in helping us with understanding and advising on a newly acquired property with damp and other issues - most of which the surveyor failed to spot. It seems difficult to find independent and knowledgeable advisers such as Durie but I would have no hesitation in recommending them and they would be our first port of call in the future if we need any further advice.

John goes above and beyond...

John goes above and beyond to meticulously explore your home. Giving detailed and accessible information. He has helped, and is continuing to help us immensely in understanding our new home. He has given us the confidence and reassurance we need to look after our old property. His attention to detail and ongoing support makes him truly a cut above the rest. Thank you so much.

Amazing historic survey

A belated review from September 2019, we found John though several searches looking for a specialist in heritage houses, being first time buyers and buying an 200+ year old building we were obviously nervous, and desperate to avoid using chemicals both having been brought up to do things traditionally where possible. John had excellent communication leading up to the survey ( which is of itself a brilliant read) answered any and all questions we had even after we had purchased the property and had begun renovating it . Whilst not as cheep as an off the shelf survey it was more than worth it both in highlighting a defect that the home report had missed allowing us to negotiate an improved price, but also for ongoing reference and useful information about non standard and old houses. To this day we still reference the survey and it formed the basis of our to do list once we started renovations. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to purchase a historic or nonstandard house or wondering how to deal with random damp patch without spending £0000's on damp companies.

Fantastic experience - 1880 Victorian property Survey

Fantastic experience with Heritage and Design. Highly professional and timely. Undertook a damp survey in our 1880 home. Highlighted a number of elements that needed to be fixed. Continue to touch base with them for ongoing advice.

Heritage and design Ltd did a prompt…

Heritage and design Ltd did a prompt and thorough damp survey for us. We were happy with their report which also suggested a course of action to remedy the issues. They are independent and not affiliated with one of the usual chemical dpc companies, which in my opinion delivered an unbiased report.
