Report
Whitefox recently provided us with Party Wall services so we could understand the risk with a property being built very close to ours. They were very professional and knowledgeable and it took all the hassle away. Will definitely use again.

Report
A thorough survey completed under tight timescales
We approached Darren at White Fox to do a pre-acquisition building survey. The timings were tight as we were trying to ascertain any building defects that would affect the purchase price. There response to our requests were prompt, the survey output was comprehensive and easy to understand. We recommend White Fox for anyone looking for a professional and friendly service.
