Heritage & Listed Building Surveyors

Send the building address, listing information where known, previous surveys, repair and alteration records, photographs and the decision you need to make. Identify whether the immediate brief is a purchase survey, an isolated defect, phased maintenance or advice on delivering repairs.

Existing case evidence: Grade II Listed Level 3 Survey, Hampstead High Street. The report recommended that the source of the leaks be resolved before remedial works were undertaken. The inspection was non-invasive and limited to accessible areas at the time of visit.

For purchase advice, compare the Level 3 building survey. For a defined moisture, cracking or decay concern, use building pathology. Send the historic-building brief.

• Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 — the core statute for listing, listed building consent and conservation areas
• Historic England — Listed Building Consent — when consent is needed and how applications are framed
• Historic England — Conservation Areas — character, demolition controls and Article 4 context
• National Heritage List for England — the statutory list for designations and list entries
• NPPF — Conserving and enhancing the historic environment — national planning policy for heritage assets
• Historic England — Conservation Principles, Policies and Guidance — significance-led decision-making for historic fabric

Local conservation-area appraisals and Article 4 directions sit on top of this national framework. Our area pages cite the relevant borough registers where verified.

Typical fees: Heritage and listed-building survey instructions in London typically start from £950 plus VAT; we confirm a fixed fee after scoping the building, listing status and the brief.
