Great service from start to finish. The report covered all areas and included elements that we didn't think off.We will be using the services again if needed
Overall very pleased with service provided and costs for a recent RICS property valuation as staff were very helpful and accommodating, I would have no hesitation to recommend.
Great service. We have done quite few surveys in the last 20 years and a recent one in Cotswolds that was not comparable with the one done from Harding Charted Surveyors. This was extremely precise and in much details with a lot of photos. Alaa Ali was helpful in explaining and answering all our questions and available in a very short amount of time. Highly recommended
Very professional, knowledgeable and efficient service from Harding. My surveyor (Al) - was very thorough, he took time to review my property internally and externally, discuss in detail the current situation and then followed up with an excellent detailed report and commentary. His inspection and work have given me vital and essential documentation on my property for now and the future. Thank you Al and I would highly recommend this organisation.
Alaa is a very nice, helpful and knowledgeable, patient person. He was willing to spend time with me to go through the report in detail and provide me recommendations for any problems. Very professional service and highly recommended.
Having recently been provided with a New Build Snagging ReportI would like to praise the administration staff for their prompt and professional communication.Similarly I am very pleased with the work that Alaa Ali has done in producing the Snagging report -it is a very comprehensive and detailed report and he has also made further recommendations on how to improve specific areas of the property to avoid potential problems un the future.
Incredibly efficient and professional service. Survey report was very through and helpful in identifying areas of work needed to be undertaken urgently, together with a ball park cost. Speed with which they undertook the survey and turned around the report ensured the transaction kept to the tight timeline set by the vendors. Can 100% recommend them.
Professional, helpful, friendly, prompt, value-for-money. I cannot speak highly enough of their thoroughly excellent and efficient service - in particular I really commend Kate's quick and friendly service (I always heard back same day on any query), and Jason's thorough but clear survey (he also phoned me to talk through report as well as submitting formal in writing).
Very quick and efficient, building survey was completed within a very short space of time and the report was delivered the following day. Very satisfied with the service.
A FRIENDLY, PROFESSIONAL AND EFFICIENT SERVICE.I needed a probate valuation for a property, I used a search to locate Hardings and they seemed to fit the bill. I am pleased that I did come across them. From the first contact to receiving the report everything was efficient and straightforward. The survey was thorough and informative and the report clear and concise, the fee was reasonable. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
The homebuyer's report carried out by Harding Chartered Surveyors was clear informative and timely. The level of detail was just what I needed in order to appreciate what the property needed doing and to help me with my decision to proceed with the purchase process.
Kate is very responsive and also took time to advise me on the phone at the very beginning. Scott Ingham did our report. It was thorough and informative. Felt in safe professional hands throughout.
Scott completed a survey for me on a flat purchase and both he and Kate were great - very quick to respond, knowledgeable, thorough and happy to address any additional questions I had. Would definitely recommend and use them again.
David Toogood produced a very thorough survey, and was extremely helpful and friendly in giving us balanced and clear advice. His in-depth report was detailed and painstaking, with lots of illustrative photos. the survey was a not inconsiderable expense, but one that we feel is fully justified by the quality of work produced.Recommended!
I requested Harding to provide a valuation for a lease extension. Albert Wellington was in charge of my property and he was extremely professional and helpful in addressing all my concerns. I would recommend him and the company with no hesitation.
I was very impressed with how quickly Harding's got my survey booked in a and the surveyor was very responsive to the questions I had following the report. Very professional.
Very impressive. I was struggling to book a survey quickly as most Surveyors time frames were three weeks. Kate was very helpful and booked in a survey on the following day. What was more impressive was the report was ready the next day. Highly recommend.
A big thank you to Kate, Max and Lee at the Fulham Office for their engagement and professionalism in undertaking a recent survey at Greenwich. We were very appreciative of the ease of access to those involved in the work and the very friendly attitude. best of luck. Bill
Harding Chartered Surveyors were recommended to me as I needed a property valuation to be completed. They kept me up-to-date throughout the process, were professional and a pleasure to deal with.
Very efficient and professional. I had my survey few months ago before buying my house and I am still following the advice from the survey to fix and repair what needed. I dealt with Scott Ingham and I think he worked very accurately and checked everything very carefully. Highly recommended.
Needed a valuation for a property purchase and can honestly say the service was 1st class from start to finish. Queries were dealt with promptly and followed up via telephone to make sure I was happy with the responses.The team are extremely knowledgeable.Thank you Kate, Albert, David and the rest of the team I will definitely use the company again.
Harding Chartered Surveyors are a very professional business who handled a challenging task for us with ease. I highly recommend them and will be using their services again.
The surveyor turned up on time as planned to survey the roof, both inside and out, then was happy to discuss it all with us afterwards. Bit tricky in high winds. Report arrived 2 days later, just what we needed. Professional and thorough. Recommended.
Quick, responsive and very thorough. Would definitely recommend Hardings to others, and will come back to them the next time I need a survey completed.
I highly recommend David. Very good technical knowledge. He was always available for our questions, which included a detailed call on the same day as the survey. The written survey report was clear, detailed and included pictures and estimates of the cost of repairs.
David gave us a fantastic service and has been a huge help during our property purchase process. We have had 2 surveys carried out, both of which were arranged very promptly. Thorough and extremely useful telephone calls and full written reports were received shortly afterwards. David's reports and advice have been invaluable to us.
I have worked with David and his team as a buying agent for many years now. The service they offer is an excellent one, timely with a commonsensical approach. I would recommend them to anyone.
