Before you appoint what appears to be a company but is actually a one man band, I strongly recommend that you run a report on Companies house for free. It will show some things that will immediately tell you to avoid at all costs.
Don the owner, who under prices to get business! (That should have been a red flag) Then demands money upfront and takes weeks to do the survey, that could delay a property purchase. Then he does a level 2 survey when asked for a level 3 survey. Then back tracks and says he will change it! Loads of issues but saying the house was built in 1930, any fool would know it was built between 1890 and 1910. The rest of the errors are equally bad, Then he says, I can edit the report so it suits you. AVOID. I am reporting him to both the RICS and Inland Revenue.

I contacted this surveyor for a property survey and received a quote, which I found reasonable. I shared the agency's contact details so arrangements could be made for access. However, the landlord informed about delays, so no survey was booked or contract signed. I apologized and even offered a small gesture for the time spent coordinating.

Later, I was surprised to receive a demand for £500, allegedly for a missed appointment. I had no confirmation from the agency that a date was set. In fact, the agency explicitly denied confirming any appointment and shared written communication to that effect. Despite this, Surveyor insisted on payment, citing time and business lost. I found the situation unsettling, particularly given the lack of clear agreement or evidence of an appointment.

While surveyor may have had a different understanding, I would advise others to get everything in writing and confirm all arrangements explicitly to avoid potential misunderstandings.

I hired Don Okeke for a level 2 survey. On the first visit, he found no issues, which seemed unrealistic for a 25-year-old house. He did a second visit and it made the sellers think I’m looking for some issues on purpose!
When the drainage report revealed public sewers, I called him to ask where are these manholes and he just ignored me. He even didn't reply back to my messages! His survey says there is no flood risk, while search result says there is. Energy efficiency in his report is grade B while it's actually C!
I even can't trust his report.
I would never ever suggest him to anyone.
