Putney has one of south-west London's most active residential markets, with a steady flow of purchases of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses, mansion block flats and riverside apartments. Buyers need thorough survey advice from chartered surveyors familiar with the area's building types.
We carry out RICS Level 2 and Level 3 home surveys across Putney, providing buyers with clear assessments of condition, defects and repair costs. Our experience with the specific construction types in Putney means we know what to look for and can give practical, relevant advice.
Level 2 and Level 3 surveys for Putney's extensive Victorian terraced streets, covering roofs, walls, floors, services and the common defects of this building type.
Thorough surveys of Edwardian houses in West Putney, assessing tile roofs, decorative features, timber bay windows and original services.
Surveys of flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, assessing both the individual flat and relevant communal areas.
Clear cost estimates for identified defects, enabling buyers to negotiate purchase prices in Putney's competitive market.
For Victorian and Edwardian houses we recommend a Level 3 survey given their age and construction complexity. For more modern or straightforward properties a Level 2 may be sufficient.
Common findings include deteriorating slate roofs, damp through solid brick walls, timber decay in ground floor joists, cracked render on bay windows, and movement on London Clay.
Yes. We survey flats in converted houses, mansion blocks and purpose-built apartment buildings, assessing both the individual flat and the building it sits within.
A Level 3 survey on a Victorian terrace typically takes three to four hours on site. Larger Edwardian houses may take longer. Reports are issued within five working days.
