Patrick was so patient with all our questions - he took time to explain everything to us. The report he wrote was clear and comprehensive. The probate process can be difficult, so we really appreciated his thoughtful approach during this time. Thank you.

Very positive experience with Aston James Associates. They were one of the few companies able to assist us with a land valuation, which we really appreciated. Our surveyor, Patrick, was professional, thorough, and attentive on site, and provided a clear, detailed, and comprehensive valuation report.

AJA Ltd. is very professional and knowledgeable. They listen to me about my issue and know what to do and how to achieve the best outcome for the client. Their honesty is in the spotlight when they write reports that are tested in court. I would highly recommend them.

Having put an offer in on a property we were looking to purchase, we decided to ask Patrick from Aston James to do a full survey and valuation. We knew that the property needed work, but we wanted to make sure there was nothing we had missed.

I have just received my right to acquire offer, and I thank Patrick Oliver MRICS of Aston James Associates for this. My flat has 4 bedrooms but is quite small, he reflected this in his appraisal, so now i know that I'm paying the right price for it.

We found the surveyor pleasant and helpful and happy to spend time going through the survey with us. There was an immediate summary after the survey which put my mind at rest, and there was then a bit of a wait for the full survey, but we were pleased overall with the service and would recommend.

Patrick carried out my survey quickly and efficiently. There was minimal wait and he was also generous with his time after the report was issued to talk me through my questions and also give a ball park figure as to estimated costs for remediations which was really handy. I'd recommend.

Patrick Oliver of Aston James did two things for us: negotiate a price for our flat with a local authority who were buying it back for "regeneration", and conduct a survey of a place we were buying. As a surveyor and a person I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

I reached out to a number of surveyors about getting a valuation report for the sale of a flat, and went with Aston James in the end because they (a) responded promptly and (b) had no problem taking into account of certain special resale restrictions in the lease. I expected to receive the report within a week, but it took only a little over one day!

Good price, talked to around ten agents and Aston James turned the valuation extremely quickly. They visited the property on the day I phoned, got the valuation in time for the board meeting and the charity I work for were able to contract to buy the house.
