Putney is a Wandsworth riverside district of Edwardian terraces and Victorian houses with apartment developments along the Thames. Our RICS regulated chartered surveyors provide building surveys, party wall awards, dilapidations, defect diagnosis, fire safety consultancy and project advisory across Putney SW15.

The area is covered by the Putney Conservation Area, with the council applying Article 4 directions in residential areas and the riverside setting requiring flood-risk consideration. Our advice is used by homeowners, purchasers, leaseholders, managing agents and developers across SW15.

Local Property Context

Property and surveying conditions in Putney

Putney’s riverside setting, Edwardian terraces and clay subsoil create a particular pattern of flood, damp and movement issues.

Local Building Stock

Edwardian terraces, Victorian houses, riverside apartments and mansion flats around Putney High Street, Putney Bridge and the Lower Richmond Road. We assess both period houses and modern riverside developments, and individual flat demises.

Riverside Flood & Damp

Riverside properties subject to historic Thames flooding can suffer damp and flood risk. We diagnose damp mechanisms and flag flood-risk considerations relevant to lower-ground and riverside accommodation.

Clay Subsidence

Edwardian terraces on London Clay can show seasonal movement and subsidence, worsened by mature street trees. We assess crack patterns, check for historic underpinning and advise whether movement is stable or progressive.

Riverside Flat Roofs

Flat roofs on 1970s–80s riverside apartment blocks are a frequent source of failure. We assess coverings, falls and detailing and recommend proportionate repair or replacement.

Conservation & Article 4

The Putney Conservation Area and the council’s Article 4 directions in residential areas affect alterations. Our reports flag where consent is needed for external changes.

Party Wall Matters

Loft conversions, side-returns and extensions routinely trigger Party Wall etc. Act 1996 notices. We act for building or adjoining owners and prepare awards with a thorough schedule of condition.

Getting Here

We reach Putney via East Putney and Putney Bridge (District line) and Putney (National Rail) and inspect across SW15 regularly, bringing current local knowledge of the area’s terraces and riverside stock to each appointment.
