If you’re about to buy a property in Dulwich you’ll want to ensure that you enter the transaction with your eyes open. It’s considered reasonable for a buyer to renegotiate the price that they’re paying, sometimes by many thousands of pounds, if an issue is discovered that a layperson would not be aware of but that can only happen if you commission a detailed survey from one of our RICS qualified experienced surveyors.
We offer both RICS Level 2 (Homebuyer) and Level 3 (Building Survey) Reports and can advise on which will best suit your needs. Following the inspection, your surveyor will make themselves available to discuss the contents and provide any clarification required.

Learn more about the benefits of commissioning a detailed survey report and how our team of experienced surveyors can provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision about whether to proceed.
The Level 2 (Homebuyer) Report is designed to provide buyers with concise information about the condition of a property. This is achieved by giving elements a Condition Rating based on the traffic light system and summarising them at the front of the report.
The Level 3 (Building Survey) is the most detailed of the RICS Home Survey Reports and is suitable for all residential properties. The report can be customised and enhanced with the addition of a valuation, feasibility study or ballpark repair costs.
If there's an issue with a property that you already own which requires investigation, our Building Surveyors can provide a Specific Defect Report. The report will provide an expert opinion on the cause and useful guidance on the next steps.

Dulwich, located in the London Borough of Southwark, is a leafy and historic part of South East London known for its village-like feel and elegant period properties. Centred around Dulwich Village, the area features a mix of Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian homes set along quiet, tree-lined streets. Its strong sense of community and abundance of green spaces give it a distinctly relaxed character while remaining close to central London.
One of Dulwich’s key attractions is Dulwich Park, a beautifully maintained open space offering a boating lake, sports facilities and landscaped gardens. The area is also home to the Dulwich Picture Gallery, the UK’s oldest public art gallery, which hosts a varied programme of exhibitions throughout the year. Dulwich has long attracted creative and academic figures, and P.G. Wodehouse, the renowned author and humorist, was a former pupil of Dulwich College, adding a notable cultural link to the neighbourhood.
Dulwich enjoys convenient transport connections via North Dulwich, West Dulwich and East Dulwich stations, with direct rail services to London Bridge, Victoria and Blackfriars. Despite its peaceful ambiance, the area offers quick access to the city, making it particularly appealing for commuters seeking a balance between urban convenience and a more tranquil residential setting.
