Property Surveys and Party Wall Advice in Poplar

Our team of surveyors have assisted numerous clients over the years with the purchase of their Poplar property both by providing valuation advice and pre-purchase surveys. Residents regularly come back to us when it’s time to refurbish or extend their property so that we can advise on neighbourly matters or just manage the whole project.

This is where we’ll be providing details of some of the Poplar based projects we’ve worked on recently, the challenges that we’ve faced and the feedback we’ve received from our clients so please check back over the next few weeks to read more.

In the meantime, we’d recommend that you check out the large collection of posts that have been added to our blog since 2009 including a few detailed case studies.

We were asked by an overseas client to conduct an RICS Level 2 Homebuyer survey on a modern two-bedroom purpose-built flat in Poplar, E14. The property was located near a river, but it was noted that the risk of flooding was low due to the Thames flood defences. The flat was in excellent condition, with only minor issues identified, such as the mastic and rubber seals around the windows and doors, which likely hadn’t been replaced since the building’s construction in 1995. The surveyor also provided general advice, including checking the date of the last lateral test for the balcony. The report also included comments about elements of the property in good condition, such as the bathroom and kitchen fittings.

In a review, the client described the service as “quick, efficient, and helpful,” and noted that the survey put his mind at “ease” about the property purchase.
