RICS Property Surveyors in London
London property comes with London-sized stakes: Georgian and Victorian terraces carrying a century of alterations, mansion-block flats on ageing leases, and new-build apartments — often all on the same street. A survey from a local RICS surveyor tells you what you are really buying before exchange, from structural movement and damp to the roof and drainage defects photographs never show. Wherever you are in the capital, contact our Property Surveyors London team and a house survey can be organised today.

Condition Survey Report London – RICS Level 1 Survey
Condition Surveys are necessary for dilapidated properties you may be looking to renovate. They give an outline condition of the building, much like a snagging report, but are more suitable for party wall. Our panel of surveyors follow the RICS Condition Survey guidance notes to help you understand the state of the building. If you are looking to buy a house or flat, then a level 2 or level 3 survey report is more suitable. Otherwise, contact us to book a Condition Surveyor in London.

Other types of valuation surveying include Capital Gains Tax, Probate and Inheritance Tax, Matrimonial or Divorce, Shared Ownership, Rent Reviews, Lease Extension and Collective Enfranchisement, etc. Surveyor House Valuations are conducted in accordance with RICS guidelines for the greatest accuracy.

A Lease Extension Surveyor is more accurate than a Lease Extension Cost Calculator, which will only give you a rough guide price.

This is known as a Lease Extension Survey and is carried out by a lease extension valuation surveyor who will assess the price associated with increasing the number of years remaining. A lease extension premium would need to be paid as negotiated by a lease extension surveyor, whom you can instruct today, as part of the lease extension estimate report.

Surveying London, postcode by postcode
No city asks more of a survey than London. Georgian squares and Victorian terraces account for a huge share of the stock, joined by Edwardian villas, interwar Metroland semis, mansion blocks, post-war estates and a generation of new-build towers. Decades of pressure on space mean the capital's houses are among the most altered in Britain: basements dug out, lofts converted, side returns in-filled and flats carved out of single dwellings. Add the London clay beneath much of the city, with its appetite for seasonal and tree-related movement, and the case for a careful, property-specific survey is stronger here than almost anywhere.
Across the capital, surveyors commonly report structural movement in shallow-founded period terraces, damp in solid brick walls and basements, ageing parapet and valley gutters, and conversion or extension work of highly variable quality. For pre-1914 houses, the majority of what Londoners buy, a Level 3 Building Survey is usually the right instruction, and it is strongly advisable for anything with a basement, loft conversion or major alteration; a Level 2 Home Survey remains suitable for conventional interwar semis and well-kept purpose-built flats. Leasehold dominates the flat market, so lease extension valuations are a constant requirement, and with almost every house attached to its neighbour, basement digs and extensions make party wall notices and awards part of everyday London property life. We can arrange an RICS surveyor in every borough and quote fixed fees up front.
