Kohls Surveyors Limited

Buying a property is likely the largest investment you will ever make. At Kohls Chartered Surveyors, we ensure you make that investment with your eyes wide open. Based in Canterbury and serving the whole of East Kent, we combine decades of local knowledge with the highest level of professional accreditation.

Our practice is led by Karl Kohls FRICS, a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. The FRICS designation is the highest grade of RICS membership, awarded only to those with extensive experience and a proven track record of excellence. When you hire us, you aren't just getting a report; you are getting a masterclass in property assessment.

Why Homeowners in East Kent Trust Our "Detective" Approach

We don't believe in generic language or "fluff." Our clients often describe Karl as a property detective—someone who unearths the truth about a building's condition no matter how well it's hidden. We use the latest technology, including electronic damp meters and geomatic CAD software, to provide a level of precision that standard surveys often miss.

Whether it is a modern new-build or a complex Grade II listed cottage, we tailor our inspections to the specific age and construction of the property. We are always happy to discuss our findings with you over the phone after the survey is complete, ensuring you understand every detail before you exchange contracts.

Specialists in Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas

East Kent is home to some of the UK’s most beautiful historic architecture, but these buildings require a specialist touch. We have extensive experience in Level 3 Building Surveys for listed properties, understanding the nuances of traditional materials and conservation requirements. We help you navigate the risks of heritage ownership while protecting your investment.

Beyond the Survey: Valuations and Project Management

We are more than just building inspectors. As RICS Registered Valuers and Chartered Project Managers, we provide a holistic suite of professional services:

• RICS Red Book Valuations: For probate, matrimonial, or Right to Buy purposes.
• Insurance Reinstatement: Accurate rebuild cost assessments to ensure you are never under-insured.
• Defect Analysis: If you have a specific issue like subsidence or damp, we can assess the cause and provide estimated costs for repair.
• Planning & Projects: We assist with planning applications and construction project management, taking the stress out of property development.
