Shakil carried out a comprehensive Level 3 survey of our property, and we were impressed with the level of detail and professionalism. The report was clear, thorough, and highlighted some important areas that needed follow-up. It was well worth the investment. Speaking with Shakil afterwards was incredibly helpfulhe took the time to explain the findings in more depth and answer our questions. We highly recommend his services

Shakil Ahmed at Foundation Chartered Surveyors has been an absolutely brilliant surveyance partner. Thorough, reliable, prompt, and a great communicator throughout. He provided us with a meticulous, detailed survey complete with sensible suggestions for next steps. And whenever we had follow-up questions, he was quick to respond with helpful clarifying information. Shakil has made the process of purchasing our first home feel as smooth and stress-free as possible I highly and happily recommend working with him.

I'm very glad I chose Foundation Surveyors for a Reinstatement Costs Assessment valuation of my house for buildings insurance purposes. Soon after I requested a quote, Shakil rang me, answered my many questions, agreed the scope of work required, and made a competitive offer. In the short time frame needed, he undertook the valuation and produced a clear, concise report, which helped me a lot with the conversation I then had with my insurance broker.

Would definitely recommend Shakil to anyone looking for a survey. We were stuck with a tight deadline, needing to have a survey done within days - not only was Shakil able to work us into his busy schedule and meet our deadline but he was communicative, his inspection and report were thorough and he was overall great to deal with. 10/10

Shakil gave us an excellent survey report which he turned around within days of the survey. His insight was critical to our decision making on our house purchase and I was particularly grateful to him for being so open to a conversation about his findings after he produced the report. I would definitely recommend him highly.
