Tower Hamlets Local Evidence & Reference Sources
Tower Hamlets New-Build Snagging Surveys FAQs
For Tower Hamlets (new-build snagging check): What information matters for a Boundary Estate flat quotation?
Provide the named block, floor, flat plan and details of common-part access. Include available maintenance reports and identify any roof, balcony or exterior work that affects your purchase decision. Ask the managing agent who (in Tower Hamlets) can open shared areas. The agreed inspection should distinguish the flat from the wider building and make clear which relevant components will remain outside the available access; within Tower Hamlets wet rooms, trap seals across Tower Hamlets and tile lippage are inspected (Tower Hamlets fee guide: from £350 plus VAT).
For Tower Hamlets (pre-completion snagging list): Can a Jesus Hospital Estate roof be judged from its front parapet?
The parapet is only the street-facing edge. Ask how the roof behind it can be viewed and obtain records for repairs, loft alterations or extensions. The council’s description explains the historic form but does not establish that a present roof retains it or is sound. Any restricted view should be recorded and any further investigation linked to a specific unresolved concern; across Tower Hamlets schemes, double-glazed seals in Tower Hamlets and trickle vents are scrutinized (Tower Hamlets fee guide: from £350 plus VAT).
For Tower Hamlets (developer handover inspection): Does a converted Ezra Street unit automatically include the whole warehouse in the survey?
In Tower Hamlets, No. Set out the purchased unit, shared elements and available access when agreeing the instruction. Supply the conversion and lease plans so the boundaries of the enquiry are clear. The visible fabric of the unit, accessible parts of the surrounding building and documents supplied by others should be distinguished; none should silently stand in for an inspection of inaccessible neighbouring premises; in Tower Hamlets communal lobbies, entrance security across Tower Hamlets and finishes are reviewed (Tower Hamlets fee guide: from £350 plus VAT).
For Tower Hamlets (warranty defect survey): Is a Boundary Estate workshop acquisition the same brief as a flat purchase?
State the present use, bought premises and access arrangements before selecting a report. A commercial acquisition and a residential purchase can require different instructions. The estate appraisal provides building context; it does not extend a survey of one flat to a workshop or a separately occupied part; across Tower Hamlets developments, fire-door strips in Tower Hamlets and riser collars are verified (Tower Hamlets fee guide: from £350 plus VAT).
