ECOHDS CHARTERED SURVEYORS Reviews 

Excellent service responded quickly and
Khalil answered all my questions which allowed me to negotiate a better price for my purchase

Always good service. We have been using Khalil for all our properties for many years

Khalil surveyed my property and I couldn’t be more satisfied with his service. He was professional, thorough, and provided clear, detailed feedback. The whole process was smooth, and I felt confident in his expertise. Highly recommend him for anyone in need of a reliable surveyor.

Khalil was very responsive and came out in a couple of days to value the property. The valuation was in line with what I expected and he promptly provided a report the next day. He was a really nice guy and I would recommend him again to friends and family.

Khalil worked me very well to achieve an ideal result, I’m very pleased with his services and would recommend it to anyone looking for any building valuations!

Khalil was very responsive and addressed all questions I had regarding my homebuyers report so no complaints from me!

I hired Mr. Khalil Ur Rahman of Ecohds Chartered Surveyors via my solicitors to value my property for divorce proceedings, and it turned out to be a huge mistake. Unfortunately, I didn't do enough research, and I wish I had. His website (which seems to have disappeared) gave the impression he ran a large operation, but it's just a one-man band, and that man is highly unreliable.

The judge in my case found Mr. Rahman’s testimony completely unreliable and ordered a new valuation by a different surveyor. His valuation was off by £337k—ridiculously low compared to other surveyors—and he couldn't explain how he arrived at that figure. Even worse, he failed to notice that the property was fully detached, not semi-detached, and had the audacity to claim that I should have informed him of this.

Mr. Rahman showed no accountability, and it seemed like he was siding with my ex-wife rather than being impartial. His mistakes caused unnecessary delays in my divorce settlement, and to top it off, he tried to chase me for payment to attend court even after the judge ruled his testimony unreliable.

Unprofessional, incompetent, and not worth your time or money. Save yourself the headache and avoid Mr. Khalil Ur Rahman at all costs. The other bad reviews and mine are all warning signs—heed them!

Very pleased with the report I received and there was good communication with Khalil throughout with all questions answered promptly. Would definitely recommend as it was a pleasant experience.

I searched online for a responsible surveyor and had lots of cold calls from large companies. I ended up speaking to Mr K and found him to be personable and knowledgeable. To be honest I didn't see the other reviews on here which may have put me off! However I liked the personal touch as opposed to a large company with lots of what I presume would be freelance surveyors.

Happy with the report and Mr K has been available for any follow up questions and calls.

I regret going with ECOHDS for my home buyer survey (Level 2). I was initially planning to go with Gold Crest. They were willing to give Level 3 survey for less than what Mr. K quoted, but K had availability for next day and I was in a hurry to get the survey done. I regret that decision. After survey it took more than two weeks to get the report. I wanted the report to include pictures, which I was told could be done, but there were barely few in the report.
There were some defects noted in the survey which I wanted more info on, like "chimney stack visible through bathroom cabinet", which I knew couldn't be possible. I sent an email requesting for a call. Didn't get a reply, so I called in after few days and was able to get hold of him. Then to my surprise I was told this is an error and doesn't apply to my property. This made me have a look at the sample report that he sent me earlier before I instructed him. My home buyer report was a copy paste of the sample report, with just some minor changes. So some of the defect noted was not at all relevant to my property. This made me question the whole survey done. I requested for a corrected report without any errors and he told me to mark the errors that I found and sent it to him!! I couldn't believe that I paid for this service. I emailed him a complaint and it was ignored. No reply at all. I am going to file a complaint with RICS and see if I can get a response. Just don't go with ECOHDS. You can’t trust or use the report. So why waste the money.

We paid for a homebuyers survey 6 months ago and only received a draft copy. We followed up twice requesting the final copy and this was never received. Since we can't fall back on the draft copy (which has "DRAFT" written over every page) for legal purposes this is effectively useless.

Khalil was pleasant and responsive. However, his report was generic and looked like a copy paste from other reports he has done before. He rarely reviewed specific items about the house and we had to probe on a call to get some more information. Furthermore, he didn't recognize poor workmanship on the kitchen roof which was identified by two roofers since, causing me to suspect he never even looked there.

This was the second time I used a surveyor and I was quite disappointed so would not recommend
