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.

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.

We found Peter Barry Surveyors via an AI search as we needed a party wall surveyor for a rather complex party wall rebuilding issue. Jaynell Mainoo handled our case and we are extremely happy with the service and the efficiency. We will definitely ask for Jaynell again if needed.
We recently used Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors to handle our party wall agreement and were extremely pleased with the service we received.

From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and very responsive. They explained the party wall process clearly, kept everything moving efficiently.

Communication was excellent throughout, and we felt confident that everything was being handled properly and fairly for all parties involved.

I would highly recommend Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors to anyone needing party wall advice or surveying services.
Very pleased so far with Katie's thoroughness and support
Long may it continue!
We used Peter Barry Surveyors for a Schedule of Condition Report. The service was provided at short notice which we were extremely grateful for. Following our initial contact with Tracey Stephens who was really helpful to us, we had a visit from Argash Thasan arranged within a few days of our first contact. Argash provided us with a great service. He was polite, friendly, and professional, answered our questions clearly, and with knowledge and expertise of party wall matters. We received a thorough report and a detailed range of accompanying photos. We would highly recommend the services of Peter Barry Surveyors.
Would recommend them.
Peter Barry has been very professional throughout the process of conducting a level 3 building survey and feasibility report. The report itself was very detailed with plenty of images to support the text. We also had opportunity before and after to speak to the surveyor at length which was very helpful.
