Surveyors in London

Building and land surveys allow you to learn more about a property that you own or that you’re planning to buy. Before you commit to purchasing a property, for example, you’ll want to know if any structural issues could affect the building’s safety. Similarly, you may want to learn about any necessary remedial works that are likely to be required shortly and how much they’re likely to cost.

As a property owner, working with surveyors in London will enable you to plan maintenance works promptly to minimise costs and disruptions. In addition to this, your team of surveyors will be able to undertake specific surveys to identify potential defects or issues that are likely to arise in the future, so that you can plan and avoid operational disruption and lost revenue.

There are many different types of building surveys available and the right one for you can depend on numerous factors, such as:

• The age and overall condition of the building
• Any changes you plan to make to the property
• Whether you’ll be a freeholder, leaseholder or tenant
• How you plan to use the building

For a relatively new home that hasn’t been structurally modified, a Level 1 Condition Report may be a cost-effective way to assess the current state of the property, for example. However, an older property that has undergone numerous structural upgrades will warrant a more in-depth visual inspection and assessment.

For commercial properties, a Schedule of Condition and a dilapidation survey may be required at the start and end of tenancies, while a licence for alteration survey will be needed if you plan on changing the way the property is used.

Additionally, there are specific types of surveys – such as defect diagnosis surveys or rebuilding cost assessments – that can be used to identify particular issues, plan upcoming renovation projects and contribute to feasibility studies.
