Wandsworth is one of south London’s most popular boroughs for families, with Victorian terraces in Tooting and Balham, Edwardian houses around Earlsfield and period properties in Putney and Wandsworth Town. The competitive market means average prices exceed £700,000. Most standard Victorian terraces can be assessed with a Level 2 home survey, though larger detached or semi-detached properties, those with basements, or houses showing signs of movement should have a Level 3 report.
We survey properties throughout Wandsworth, covering Tooting, Balham, Putney, Earlsfield and Wandsworth Town. Our experience of south London’s Victorian and Edwardian housing means we understand the common defects, from bay window spread and lintel failure to subsidence on clay subsoils and the effects of rear extension underpinning.
