Rafaquat Hussain Novello

Rafaquat Hussain at Novello Surveyors I would really recommend. I’m a property investor and he’s surveyed 3 properties for me in the last few months, from a HMO to a flat as well as a Grade II listed house.

Rafaquat is always on hand to have a call and explain any points in the survey. I really like how Novello lay out their reports in terms of condition ratings from immediate to longterm-as well as listing costs. This makes it really easy to present to an estate agent/ seller and is useful when negotiating further price deductions.

The survey process was quick and easy from booking to having the report in my inbox. When I had further questions regarding findings in the report, the surveyor, Ahsan Shad, was extremly helpful and gave me a call to clarify the situation. I would recommend using Novello.

Outstanding, professional service from start to finish

Novello Chartered Surveyors delivered A1 service from first contact through to booking, confirmation, and the final survey.

My surveyor, Ahsan, was approachable and attentive. He took on my list of concerns and provided a thorough, clearly explained report, first verbally (as promised) and then in writing. He focused on facts, set sensible priorities for any works, and outlined how to manage the rest over time.

Thanks to his diligence, I now have exactly the information I need to turn the house I’m buying into the home I want using the clear reference points he provided.

Thank you to Novello Charter Surveyors for excellent customer service, and a special thank you to Ahsan for his professionalism and care. Highly recommended.

Great experience

We recently used Charlotte from North West for our house survey, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Charlotte was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough throughout the entire process. Her survey report was detailed, easy to understand, and highlighted both the strengths of the property and any areas that might require attention in the future. She explained everything clearly, which gave us real confidence when making such an important decision.

What stood out most was her responsiveness and willingness to answer questions. Nothing felt rushed, and she took the time to ensure we fully understood her findings. Her expertise, attention to detail, and friendly approach made what can be a stressful part of buying a house much easier.

If you’re looking for a surveyor who is diligent, approachable, and genuinely cares about her clients, Charlotte is an excellent choice. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.

After my initial response to seek advice on what survey would best suit my needs, one was arranged and conducted with minimum fuss or delay.
On the day of the survey, I received a phone call to give me brief details of the findings then within 48 hours I received the full report.

Exceptional Experience

As a first time buyer I was unsure what surveyor to go with, after contacting multiple companies and asking for a recommendation from my estate agent Novello was the recommended.

From the very beginning they have been very helpful, answering any questions you may have. Survey was booked 2 weeks after initial contact. Ian contacted me after the survey giving me a description on what was found at the property, within 24 hours I received my survey report. The report was very detailed with pictures.

Couldn’t recommend this company anymore due to their exceptional customer service & experience.
