About the Author :
Peter Glover qualified as a Chartered Surveyor at the age of 21 in 1967.

He also contributes regularly to newspapers, magazines and journals on topics connected with the property market and building construction.

Review :
"All [surveyors] would profit by reading this book and, if they remembered the excellent advice it gives, it would bring a broad smile to the faces of the insurers ... The book is full of useful information, much of which I have not seen before. ... should be compulsory reading for all who do it." Chartered Surveyor Weekly "A lively, readable and informative book ... Most technical books have to be read little by little over time, but this is one which can be read from cover to cover at a single sitting. ... A book with something for everyone involved in domestic building surveys from prospective purchaser to practising surveyor. It should be compulsory reading for the graduate entrant on the first day in the office if not previously read and inwardly digested" Estates Gazette "In presentation and content, this is a practical and useful addition to the library of all surveyors at all stages in their careers with, of course, particular reference to building and general practice surveyors. Both writing and printing are clear and precise and make for easy reading of what can be a complex subject. ... This is a good read and a recommended buy for reference" Architect & Surveyor "The book is written in an easily readable style, giving credibility to the author's advice that building survey reports use simple straightforward English." The Surveyor and Valuer
