Surveyors In North London

Welcome to Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors

We undertake all aspects of residential surveying work throughout north and north-west London.

If you are thinking of buying a property and would like the peace of mind that comes with a survey from a Chartered Surveyor call us for a quote today. We undertake all levels of surveys including RICS Homebuyer Reports and Building Surveys.

We are also experienced Party Wall Surveyors. If you are planning to undertake some work on your property which falls within the scope of The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 we can advise you on the necessary procedures. Alternatively, you may have been served notice by a neighbour in relation to some proposed works and require a party wall surveyor to act on your behalf. Whichever side you are on we will be happy to advise you.
