Edf was brilliant. Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He clearly explained the items in the inspection report that I didn't understand, and suggested what questions I needed to be asking the seller. I would thoroughly recommend Edd to anyone!

Edward's pre-purchase inspection service was absolutely impeccable. Very knowledgeable, friendly and keen to assist. He took the time and effort to help with all my follow-up questions and I never felt like I overstayed my welcome. He provided information on the best/ worst case scenarios re the issues with the car and potential cost of maintenance which was incredibly helpful as a first-time buyer
