It was fast very reasonable priced,and detailed and highlighted an issue of spray foamed on the roof which in our case the vender is now going to remove . An issue that if not found before completion would cost me down the road so I would recommend

Super quick and easy, no hassle at all, came within a week and was the best value for money around!

Innacurate, speculative and irresponsible. DO NOT USE

Extremely poor and inaccurate valuation report. Serious defects were stated as fact without any evidence or invasive inspection.
The report claimed a potential load-bearing wall had been removed and supported by what he thinks is a scaffold board — WHAT A GREAT SKILL TO BE ABLE TO SEE THROUGH A WALL TO BE ABLE TO TELL THIS.
A front boundary wall was described as unstable and a cause of concern despite not being wobbly or demonstrably unsafe and not to mention about 3ft high!
Basic compliance items were also incorrectly reported. The surveyor stated the property was not lettable due to electrical safety issues - these issues being no sticker on the fuse box despite a valid EICR being in place and failed to note existing smoke and CO2 alarms.
The conclusion of £0 market value and £0 market rent is unjustified, alarmist, and unsupported. Especially when the house is already mortgaged and rented!
The report lacks evidence, accuracy, and professional care with no advice given to check these wild assumptions, and definitely not up to RICs standards. I would not recommend and if your lender uses them steer clear.

This property is in Grimsby and I'll be making a complaint to RICS too.

Great service, Swindon team showed a lot of flexibility. Really appreciate and strongly recommend. Thank you.

Not happy , house valued twice and same price even tho was one year difference and house market prices have gone down . Our house was valued at the same price of a detached house with garage and same numbers of bedrooms ( RICS valuation )
Not to say that we had the house valued by another company for £20k less

The whole process was easy, the lady I spoke to on reception in the Dudley branch was lovely.

The gentleman that came out on the day was professional and respected my property wearing shoe covering. Would definitely recommend.

Kieran was great, the report was detailed and he made a lot of time to talk us through it.

Detailed and well written survey. Happy to answer any of my follow up questions. Really helpful and knowledgeable. Would recommend.

Great experience with this firm. They were efficient and incredibly quick throughout the whole process. The survey report arrived much sooner than expected which was great. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and professional service.

From first contact with the company was impressed by their efficiency in providing information, details of their services and resulting detailed survey report provided
The report was clearly presented and easy to access and understand

We used Allied Surveyors and Valuers Ltd to value two of our HMO properties, and both valuations were completely out of line with reality, local authority guidance, and actual market performance.

Property 1 – 6-bed all-en-suite HMO
The valuer refused to recognise it as a 6-bedroom property, claiming the communal lounge was too small under their internal guidance.
We provided:
• Exact room and communal area measurements
• A valid 6-bedroom HMO licence from the local authority

Some tenants use in-room living space because the rooms are large, fully compliant with council guidance. Despite this, they ignored the licence and facts and valued it as a 5 bedroom. There was no meaningful discussion or flexibility just a rigid and incorrect downgrade.

Property 2, 9-bed all en-suite HMO (Bristol)
This valuation was even worse.
• High spec refurbishment
• Solar panels
• EPC A
• 6 parking spaces
• 9 minutes from the airport
• Fully let within 2.5 weeks
• Achieving £850 per room

Even a conservative bricks and mortar valuation should have been £600k+.
A realistic market value is closer to £900k.

They valued it at around £530k, claiming the area is “non popular for HMOs,” which is demonstrably false based on demand and rental performance.

Impact
• Nearly £4,500–£5,000 in valuation fees
• Forced to change lenders
• Delays and financial disruption
• Entirely avoidable if proper HMO methodology had been used

Conclusion
If you are valuing an HMO, do not use Allied Surveyors and Valuers Ltd.
They:
• Ignore valid HMO licences
• Apply inconsistent internal rules
• Under value specialist assets
• Fail to reflect real rental demand or market performance

I can’t comment on buy-to-lets or standard residential property, but for HMOs this was a very costly mistake.

Excellent service and the final report is very detailed around each aspect of the property and categorised in colour coded tiers of whats good and what need urgent attention. I opted for a level 2 report and it is more than enough for my needs considering it's a property less than 10 years old. Given clear instructions for legal advisors. Thank you for your service. Highly Recommend

Kieran was really thorough and helpful with explaining the issues identified in the report. He took time to talk me through the report and it was really appreciated. All communications with the company were friendly and helpful, really happy with the service.

Great service from start to finish. Booking the survey was quick and easy, and the survey report itself was thorough and easy to read and understand. We had an in depth phone call to about the survey which was very helpful. All in all - an excellent company to deal with

Jon completed a survey for us, givingus the option of a full refund when the survey was delayed thrpugh no fault of his own. The survey was very thorough and followed up by a lengthy phone call where Jon took the time to explain things realistically, in detail, along with potential implications. I wouldn't hesitate to use again.

Good communication and friendly service.

This company is very efficient with great communication skills. Wendy is lovely and very helpful. Kiran was very approachable and also helpful.

Proficient, friendly service.

Very quick at getting our valuation done. Good price and very helpful. Would definitely be using them again and would highly recommend them to anyone else. Was impressed how quickly they came back to me compared to other valuations.
