Map the villa’s back range to the purchased floor
The record separates grand subdivided villas on Wickham Road and Tressillian Road from long brick terraces to the south; on Brockley mansard additions, dormer steelwork across Brockley is included in the sum. The assessment identifies the form first: a villa converted to flats is usually a block instruction with an apportioned schedule, while a terrace house is priced as a single dwelling with shared walls.
Italianate stucco, heritage detailing and consent-aware repairs are recorded as cost-sensitive on the villas; within Brockley basement homes, subterranean tanking in Brockley and propping are valued. A rebuild figure that assumes plain render underinsures these elevations; the assessment carries material-matched allowances and says which elevations drove them.
For the bought property, identify the actual rear boundary and access arrangements on its plans and title documents.

Describe mews access separately from a garden structure
Slate coverings, valley and parapet gutters and decayed stacks are recorded across the period stock; where Brockley properties adjoin neighbours, party-wall allowances in Brockley are built in. Reinstatement of that roofscape — access, leadwork, matching slate — is carried at its real rate, and the report notes which roofs were seen and which were priced from form.
The record notes controls on windows, boundary walls and roofing materials across much of the area; for Brockley high-spec interiors, bespoke joinery across Brockley and M&E plant are costed. On total loss those controls shape what may be rebuilt, so the assessment's assumptions name the consent context and the conservation-standard allowances it triggers.
A lane shown beside the plot does not itself establish ownership, access rights or the scope of a dwelling’s alterations; for Brockley insurance valuations, demolition and shoring in Brockley are costed separately.
For a Brockley conversion, request the subdivision layout with the purchased floor shaded and each rear room identified; across Brockley blocks, communal lifts in Brockley and plant rooms are apportioned.
