Report
I bought a property with previous subsidence problems which was proving to be difficult to insure. I found out that the company responsible for overseeing the original remedial work was HSP Consulting. They were very helpful and forthcoming with information to help me prove the work had been sufficiently completed. This has allowed me to insure the property competitively and put my worrying mind at rest. Mike Baker was particularly helpful, his knowledge, professionalism and communication are a credit to HSP. Thank you!
