Surveys of Properties in Lewisham

If you’re about to buy a property in Lewisham 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.

Below you will find links to the hundreds of positive reviews we’ve received from owners who’ve commissioned surveys from us on properties in and around Lewisham. Call today to take advantage of our expertise.

Recent Activity in Lewisham SE13

Our surveyor, David Breeze, carried out an RICS Level 2 Homebuyer Survey for a client looking to purchase a two-bedroom purpose-built flat on the far side of Sutcliffe Park in SE9. Prior to the inspection, the client raised concerns about some mould she had noticed in the bathroom. David took this into account during his assessment and confirmed that the issue was a result of condensation, advising that improvements to the internal ventilation system would help prevent further build-up.

He also noted worn mastic seals to the fittings in the bathroom, recommending they be replaced. Throughout the report, David provided clear descriptions of the materials and condition of the internal and external elements, along with an overview of the services including gas, water and heating. The findings were supported with photographs to make the report easy to understand.

In her review, the client described the service as “really professional and easy” and particularly appreciated that David phoned ahead of the inspection.

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.

About Lewisham

Lewisham unfolds as a diverse and vibrant borough, flanked by the creative dynamism of Peckham and the historic elegance of Greenwich. This enclave, woven into the city’s cultural tapestry, thrives as a melting pot of communities, seamlessly blending modernity with a rich historical backdrop.

Lewisham’s transport nexus is a testament to its accessibility, with a web of buses, DLR, and trains converging to connect the borough to neighbouring districts and beyond.

A gem within Lewisham’s cultural crown is the Horniman Museum, a repository of anthropological treasures and natural wonders. The museum’s extensive collections, housed in a striking building surrounded by landscaped gardens, make it a beacon of intellectual and aesthetic exploration within the borough.

Delving into Lewisham’s historical threads, the borough bears the imprint of Rosa May Billinghurst, a pioneering suffragette. Billinghurst, who used a modified tricycle to navigate the streets, played a crucial role in the suffragette movement. Her courageous activism echoes through Lewisham’s past, a reminder of the borough’s significance in the struggle for women’s rights.

Response from the owner:Thank you!
We appointed Peter Barry to commission a Specific Defect Report which they did quickly and efficiently. They were a pleasure to work with, both over email and in person on the day of the job itself.
We had a very pleasant experience with Matthew and Trina, who guided us with great patience and professionalism while dealing with very difficult neighbours. Their clear explanations, and calm approach made the whole party wall process much less stressful. We’re very grateful for their support and would recommend their services.
