I commissioned Harding for a retrospective Red Book valuation on a London flat. The process was straightforward: Kashmir Gola delivered a thorough report inside the quoted timeframe, with well-chosen comparable properties including two flats in the same building. Kate Sonnet handled the coordination side promptly.

James O.

Highly recommended. Lovely friendly service, and a high quality professional report was delivered.

Vicki S.

I had a survey carried out by Alaa Ali on my commercial premises. I must say that in the 30 years of dealing with surveyors I have never had such a responsive , helpful and knowledgeable surveyor. I am in the property industry and have dealt with numerous surveyors over the years, in most cases you are provided with a report and nothing else. Alaa Ali from Hardings has gone over and above in supporting us in making the correct decision with our structural issues. I highly recommend this company. They are streets ahead of anyone else . I would never look anywhere else if I needed their services in the future.

Thanks so much to all the team at Harding! They were extremely helpful in arranging the survey for us at very short notice. Scott did the survey on the day and he was incredibly thorough - it's given us great peace of mind for our house move. The report he gave was detailed, well laid out with excellent photographs of every aspect of the house and surrounds. He also took the time to call and walk me through his preliminary findings, which I really appreciated. Thanks again!

Guy was helpful in explaining the survey and findings over the phone.

Bukhosi

A very efficient and professional. Communication was excellent and the whole process from booking to the report was around 3 weeks. Good value for money. I would recommend without hesitation.

Alan F.

Harding Chartered Surveyors were really quick and helpful throughout this process. Our Level 2 survey was completed quickly and we received an extremely detailed report the next day. Would absolutely recommend using their services!

Amelia M.

I requested a structural survey couple of years ago due to hairline cracks appearing in my walls. The report was thorough, advising me that neighbouring trees need to be dealt with. April 2025 I am in the process of getting the repairs done. The surveyor Alaa Ali has been very helpful assisting and advising my builder in the work that needs to be undertaken to rectify the not so hairline cracks in my Edwardian flat. The process is not cheap, but it provides a peace of mind to the structural state of my property.

Jan S.

Valuation of property for selling purposes, Harding were quick and efficient, and the survey provides peace of mind that a professional surveyor carried out a proper valuation according to the RICS valuation standards. Estate agents are not necessarily qualified, surveyor always are

With a building survey, you can learn about a building’s urgent defects and areas for improvement. In the process, you can negotiate a lower asking price and secure your family’s comfort.
