Surveys of Properties in Crouch End

If you’re about to buy a property in Crouch End 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 Crouch End. Call today to take advantage of our expertise.

Recent Activity in Crouch End N8

Our surveyor David Breeze recently carried out an RICS Level 2 Homebuyer inspection of a two-bedroom purpose-built flat in Crouch End, N8.

David noted that the flat, originally constructed in 1898, required major refurbishment and appeared to be very run down. The windows were in poor condition, contributing to dampness in the walls. Additionally, water collecting on the window cills was was contributing to the damp issues. Although the windows were double-glazed, they had failed, as there was misting between the glass panes, indicating a need for replacement to improve thermal efficiency. The electrical points appeared dated, and David advised the client to budget to renew sockets and light fittings in the near future.

The client had mentioned that there were major works planned, but the details were vague, so David recommended further investigation into the scope of these works. The client praised the report as “detailed” and expressed feeling reassured about the property, mentioning how “confident” she felt with the advice she received.

They were very quick and efficient at getting me a valuation on my flat for doing a section 42 lease extension and the communication was very clear.
We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Peter Barry. We came to them when stuck in a slow Party Wall process with another surveyor and an fast approaching deadline as we wanted to start work on our property in time to finish before December. The Peter Barry team were phenomenal. Callum's knowledge was fantastic and he advised us effectively every step of the way, while Trina was highly responsive and a delight to work with. We were delighted with the experience and would recommend Peter Barry to anyone needing support with a Party Wall Award.
Finlay was fantastic on our Party Wall Award. Clear communication throughout process and helped to drive the process forward. Very friendly and efficient on the site visit and very thorough. Would highly recommend. Thank you!
