Testimonials

“

Blakes have carried out numerous valuations and lettings for our various residential and commercial properties. I have found the service swift, professional and very in tune with current market conditions to achieve best outcomes. They are helpful and the extra attention to detail ensures things progress smoothly. I would highly recommend talking to Blakes for any property related query.

If you want a next to no time sale sell through Blakes. They will stock pile keen interested and serious buyers after vetting them and show case your house on an agreed specific day and odds on you will have favourable offers as I did on my house which sold shortly afterwards. Good honest down to earth straight talking without any unnecessary frills with polite old fashioned service, that's Blakes.

Blakes provided us with a formal valuation report for Probate purposes for a property in Surbiton. They also gave us investment advice for a residential refurbishment project we considered carrying out in Kingston upon Thames. The advice provided was extremely helpful and allowed us to make a reasoned and informed decision on taking the matter forward.

I have worked with Blakes for the last four years and have no hesitation in recommending them to my clients in all aspects of enfranchisement related work. Roshan is responsive and a real expert in the field. He turns around his reports in a timely fashion and always manages to achieve effective and acceptable results for my clients. A real asset to the profession.

We have been using Blakes Chartered Surveyors for our client’s valuations for some time now. We have always found them to be professional, helpful and approachable in all our dealings. In addition, the reports received are comprehensive and prompt even when we find ourselves having to give “last minute” instructions. To cap it all, Blakes are also very reasonable priced; we would always recommend Blakes.

As the freeholder of the building and after receiving a section 42 notice from one of the leaseholders, I instructed Blakes to prepare a lease extension valuation on my behalf and handle the negotiation of the appropriate premium to be paid. Roshan inspected the property promptly and provided me with a detailed and accurate valuation of the premium payable which was significantly higher than what was offered by the leaseholder. Following some extensive negotiations with the lessees surveyor, Roshan agreed an excellent settlement allowing the matter to be completed without referral to the Tribunal, acting in my best interests and ensuring my financial interests in the freehold were protected. I would highly recommend using Blakes Chartered Surveyors.

Recently I needed to extend the lease on an investment property of mine in Surbiton, Roshan at Blakes managed the whole process for me, not only did this take the work out of it for me, once he completed the valuation he then successfully negotiated with the freeholder directly himself what I am confident would have been a much better price for the lease extension than I could have got to myself, they provide a very professional service and have since recommended Roshan & Blakes to our own clients and will continue to in the future.
