We have noted a rise in companies advertising themselves as Chartered Building Surveyors when they are not. To be clear, only MRICS or FRICS post nominals are Chartered Surveyors with the specialist building surveying training and qualifications to assure you of the proper level of testing for building surveys. AssocRics is a good standard, but these are still not Chartered Surveyors. Lack of any RICS accreditation means you cannot be sure of the training or experience of the surveyor and we note a rise in some companies saying they are building surveyors with no accreditations at all. We say this due to some confusion in the market place.
Are you paying a fair market price for your next property? Or do you need a valuation for probate?
Open market and Right to Buy valuations
The value of property can be affected by so many variable factors. It's important in these changing times, to be sure that you are aware of the current market value and not a price reached perhaps many months previously.
We carry out RICS Red Book Valuations and have years of experience in assessing the price of property in East Kent.
Value of work assessments
We are able to assess known defects found within a property and identify the required specialist services for further investigation and produce a likely estimate of costs to put those issues right.
We're trusted by countless homeowners in East Kent
"I was really impressed with Karl's service. He provided us with a Full Building Survey, squeezing us in earlier than expected and supplied the most comprehensive and insightful report within a few days. He was then available to discuss the report in full detail and explain any issues in a friendly and professional manner. I would highly recommend Kohls Chartered Surveyors."

"Quick replies, professional service and very efficient. Great value. Could not recommend enough. Thanks Karl!"

"The property reports were really thorough and ultimately led to a renegotiation with the vendor. We called on Karl for backup at several points after the survey had been issued and he couldn't have been more helpful. Both prompt and great detail in his responses going way beyond what I would have expected. I would highly recommend him and, if ever we need a survey again, will have no hesitation in appointing him."
