We survey listed, locally listed and conservation-area property across W1T; reports balance significance, condition and the realistic cost of repairing traditional fabric around Charlotte Street, Tottenham Court Road, Cleveland Street.
Local travel options include Goodge Street (Northern line), Tottenham Court Road (Central/Northern/Elizabeth line); when instructed in Fitzrovia, access to roofs, voids and concealed historic fabric is agreed in advance so inspections respect both occupiers and the building.
Pre-purchase heritage surveys are the most common instruction around Charlotte Street, Tottenham Court Road, Cleveland Street: buyers want to know what the building they are acquiring will demand of them, and our reports translate fabric condition into ownership obligations and realistic budgets.
The local context behind our Fitzrovia heritage instructions: In Fitzrovia, the advice is checked against Georgian townhouses and commercial buildings, damp in Georgian basement areas from high water table, settlement cracking in eighteenth-century party walls, deterioration of original lime-based finishes and cornicing, and the access or consent constraints that shape local delivery.

Expect Georgian townhouses, Victorian commercial buildings, mixed-use properties and mansion flats: each era brings its own materials, defects and repair philosophy.
