Got questions about building surveys, party wall matters, or our services? Here are answers to the most common questions we receive from clients across West London.
While not legally required, a building survey is highly recommended when purchasing any property. A professional RICS survey can identify structural issues, damp problems, and defects that could cost thousands to repair. For older properties (over 50 years), Victorian homes, or properties that have been extended or altered, a comprehensive Level 3 building survey is especially important. Many of our Twickenham clients have saved significant amounts by negotiating the purchase price based on our survey findings.
A RICS Level 2 survey (Homebuyer Report) is suitable for conventional properties in reasonable condition, typically built within the last 100 years. It provides an overview of the property's condition with traffic light ratings for different elements. A Level 3 Building Survey is more comprehensive and detailed, recommended for older properties, unusual construction, properties in poor condition, or if you're planning major works. The Level 3 survey includes more extensive investigation and detailed descriptions of defects with repair cost assessments. Our chartered building surveyors can advise which survey type best suits your property needs.
Building survey costs vary depending on the property size, type, and location. For properties in Twickenham, Richmond, and Kingston, a Level 2 Homebuyer Report typically costs between £450-£800, while a comprehensive Level 3 Building Survey ranges from £700-£1,500. These costs can vary based on property value and size. Remember, investing in a professional survey can save you many thousands of pounds by identifying issues before you commit to purchase. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific property.
The on-site inspection typically takes 2-4 hours depending on the property size and survey level. For a standard 3-bedroom house, expect around 2-3 hours for the physical inspection. Our RICS chartered surveyors then compile a comprehensive report, which we typically deliver within 48-72 hours of the inspection. We understand property transactions often have tight timelines, so we work efficiently to provide you with detailed, easy to understand reports as quickly as possible without compromising quality.
Yes, we provide comprehensive party wall surveying services throughout West London and Surrey, including Twickenham, Richmond, Kingston, and surrounding areas. If you're planning building works that affect a party wall (shared wall with a neighbour), loft conversion, basement excavation, or boundary work, you'll likely need to serve party wall notices under the Party Wall Act 1996. Our experienced surveyors can act for both building owners and adjoining owners, preparing all necessary documentation, schedules of condition, and party wall awards to ensure your project proceeds smoothly and legally.
