Average property values exceed £750,000, reflecting the borough’s popularity with professionals and families. Level 2 surveys are appropriate for well-maintained flats and standard terraces, while larger Victorian and Edwardian houses, and any property with visible defects or planned alterations, benefit from a Level 3 survey.

We understand the specific issues affecting the borough’s housing stock, including the condition of Victorian party walls, the adequacy of damp-proofing in basement flats, and the structural implications of rear and side extensions.
