Property in St Albans


St Albans is home to many detached, period, townhouses, and semi rural properties. And while on the surface a property can look as though it has been well-maintained, many of these properties are hiding defects that could cost thousands to put right. To ensure you know what you’re purchasing and for peace of mind, it’s important to get a RICS chartered surveyor to perform a building survey before committing to the sale.

Harding Chartered Surveyors is an independent RICs surveying firm, providing accurate and impartial building survey reports for landlords and property hunters in all areas of St Albans. We also provide accurate valuations, expert property advice and much more - so call our team if you require property services. 

Surveys We Offer in St Albans


  • RICS HomeBuyer Report: The RICS HomeBuyer report utilises a traffic light system to highlight urgent defects in a property. You can also request an optional valuation as part of the survey.
  • Snagging Lists: If you’re purchasing a new-build home, you can ensure your housing developer repairs all problems before your arrival by obtaining a Snagging List.
  • Full Building Survey: Unlike the most basic RICS HomeBuyer Report, our Full Building Survey features photographs, detailed reports and a cost-estimate to resolve any problems.

A really good experience all round. Kate replied quickly to my questions. The service was prompt and professional and good value compared to other quotes I received. Thanks!
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.
Highly recommended. Lovely friendly service, and a high quality professional report was delivered.
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.
Jessica Togood was excellent. A friendly and efficient service.
Incredible service, fast, efficient, knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend.
Very responsive and professional. Gave us a rendezvous quickly, bang on time including with subsequent report. Cost seemed reasonable. Happy to have chosen Harding.
Really lovely customer service, quick and efficient
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
The service I received was excellent . The surveyor Charlie Colville was thorough and highly professional .
