Survey Services FAQ

Which survey should I choose for my Hampstead property? +

For standard properties in good condition, a Level 2 homebuyer report is usually sufficient. For older properties (particularly Victorian, Edwardian, or Georgian homes common in Hampstead), listed buildings, or properties requiring renovation, choose a Level 3 building survey. Our team can advise on the most appropriate survey for your specific property.

How quickly can you deliver survey reports? +

We typically deliver homebuyer reports within 5-7 working days and Level 3 building surveys within 7-10 working days from the inspection date. Expedited services are available for urgent property transactions. Valuation reports are usually provided within 3-5 working days.

Do you survey flats and leasehold properties? +

Yes, our surveyors regularly assess leasehold properties including flats and apartments across Hampstead and London. We examine the interior of your specific unit and provide advice on shared areas, lease terms, and service charges where relevant.

What happens if your survey identifies major problems? +

If our survey identifies significant defects or issues, we provide detailed information about the problem, potential causes, and recommended actions. This allows you to renegotiate the purchase price, request repairs from the seller, or make an informed decision about proceeding with the purchase. Our surveyors are available to discuss findings and implications.

Can you help with planning and building regulations? +

Yes, our chartered building surveyors provide advice on planning applications, building regulations, and project management for renovations and extensions. We're familiar with local planning requirements in Hampstead and can guide you through the process.

Do your surveys include thermal imaging? +
