Chartered Surveyors Across North West London

North West London holds some of the capital's most varied housing within a few miles: Victorian and Edwardian villas around Hampstead and St John's Wood, purpose-built mansion blocks along the main arterial roads, and mile after mile of interwar semi-detached housing through Harrow, Edgware and Mill Hill.

The surveying issues follow that pattern. Older hillside property raises questions about clay shrinkage, retaining structures and long-term movement, mansion blocks bring shared roofs, lifts and service charges into the picture, and the 1930s suburbs tend to show their age through original flat-roofed extensions, tired render and single-skin garage additions.

We inspect all of it, explain what each finding means in practical terms, and tell you clearly whether something needs immediate attention, monitoring, or nothing at all.
