Recent Activity in Walthamstow E17

David Breeze, one of our surveyors at Peter Barry, conducted an RICS Level 2 Homebuyer Report for a client on a ground-floor garden flat located in Walthamstow E17.

During the inspection, David noted some areas of dampness in the flat and recommended a few several low-cost measures to the client to help reduce it. One suggestion that was made for the client to explore improving the sub-floor ventilation.

Another significant issue identified during the inspection was with the positioning of the external render of the damp-proof course, which a common source of dampness. David advised the client to consider removing it to help prevent further damp problems in the future.

After the inspection, David had a follow-up call with the client to guide them on the advice provided. The client left a review where she praised David’s work, stating how “comprehensive” the report was and how David gave her “clear recommendations”.

Steve Hobbs, one of our team of Chartered Surveyors, recently completed a Level 2 Survey for the purchaser of a terraced 1930s house in Walthamstow. The survey uncovered issues with dampness, timber defects and possible asbestos containing materials. Steve detailed the associated risks in the report and, during subsequent telephone conversations with the client, was able to provide further guidance and advice as to what steps needed to be taken to investigate and resolve these issues.

Following our advice the client was pleased to be able to proceed with the purchase from an fully informed position ‘This is the 2nd surveyor in Walthamstow we’ve used. The service was timely, the people I was in contact with very professional. The report itself was incredibly thorough, the results frankly delivered. The report was formatted in such a way that makes it very accessible, easy to read and logical. Much better than the previous surveyor we had used. Highly recommended’.

Steve Hobbs, one of our team of experienced Chartered Surveyors, recently carried out a Level 3 Survey on 4 bedroom period house on one of the turnings off Forest Road in Walthamstow.

The client was particularly concerned about the risk of structural movement, given the property had previously been underpinned, and thankfully we were able to put their mind at rest insofar as confirming that there was no evidence of significant ongoing movement. We were however also able to highlight a number of repairs required to the property, including some poorly carried out and defective roofing works.

The client was pleased with the service provided, commenting:  “I very much recommend Peter Barry! We particularly appreciated them coming back to us with more advice following our questions on the report, and their support throughout the whole process. Would use again!

Peter Barry Surveyors conducted a Level 2 Homebuyer Report for a maisonette in E17, by request of the client. With history as a rental property, the residence displayed numerous areas in need of repairs and renewal, prompting a detailed examination by our surveyor, David Breeze AssocRICS. His inspection resulted in a comprehensive report, offering precise guidance to the client on how to approach the necessary maintenance.

Post-inspection, our surveyor offered a series of follow-up calls. These discussions explored both urgent and prospective work, ensuring the client gained a full understanding of the property’s condition. This approach not only empowered the client to make an informed purchase decision but also enabled them to prioritise essential repairs, establishing a clear plan for ongoing maintenance.

The client’s satisfaction was evident in their positive feedback. Their endorsement,
“They were prompt, communicative, and the report was delivered quickly! Would use their services again!”

Serves as a testament to our commitment to excellence in our service.

Walthamstow is located right in the middle of the London Borough of Waltham between Tottenham to the west and South Woodford to the east.

Even people who are not from the area will have heard of the famous Walthamstow Market – Europe’s longest outdoor street market, extending for a kilometre along the High Street. It runs from Tuesday to Saturday and offers a great selection of fruit & Veg, clothes and hot food.

Another local landmark is the William Morris Gallery.

The gallery is free to enter and puts on regular temporary exhibitions to keep people coming back.
