Surveys of Properties in Enfield

If you’re in the process of buying a property in Enfield you’ll want to avoid surprises after you move in by arranging a professional survey.

We offer both RICS Level 2 & Level 3 Surveys (formerly known as ‘Homebuyer Reports’ and ‘Building Surveys’). The names may have changed but these reports remain the benchmark for residential pre-purchase surveys in Enfield. Both reports will highlight any significant defects, but the level 3 will go on to consider repair options and future maintenance. Where issues have been highlighted, we can provide ballpark costings to be used as the basis for renegotiation without the hassle of gathering quotes.

If you require advice on an issue relating to a property you already own, we can assist with that too. A Specific Defect Report is written with the same level of detail as a Level 3 Survey but focuses on just 1 or 2 issues and is therefore more cost effective.

Recent Activity in Enfield EN1, EN2 & EN3

Our senior surveyor David Breeze recently surveyed a second floor flat within a modern purpose-built block on Bycullah Road EN2. The client requested a mid-range survey, known as ‘Level 2’ which is appropriate for a modern flat that, on the surface, appears to be in good condition.

Despite being just over 20 years old, David highlighted several issues including defective seals to the windows and dampness to the kitchen and bathroom walls. The dampness was the result of condensation so some advice on how to alleviate that issue, including improvements to the ventilation, were included. Lifestyle issues, such as drying clothes on radiators and turning off extractor fans can contribute to condensation but that cannot be confirmed until any underlying defects, such as the poor ventilation, are addressed.

The client found the report to be ‘… very clear and comprehensive with good photographs of all the areas covered’ and appreciated the opportunity to discuss their concerns with David prior to 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.

The Level 3 (Building Survey) is the most detailed of the RICS Home Survey Reports and is suitable for all residential properties. The report can be customised and enhanced with the addition of a valuation, feasibility study or ballpark repair costs.

About Enfield

The housing stock in Enfield Town spans the centuries, from the Georgian houses of Gentleman’s Row to Tower Point, an ultra modern apartment block, although the area is primarily made up of Victorian terraces, larger detached Edwardian houses and 1930s semis.

Enfield Town boasts excellent shopping facilities, including Palace Gardens Shopping Centre which houses a selection of big-name retailers. A market continues to trade in the historic Market Place in Enfield Town offering goods ranging from fresh produce to household items.

To the south of Enfield Town is the residential suburb of Bush Hill Park. Providing more affordable housing than the neighbouring Winchmore Hill it has a well regarded junior school, Raglan, which attracts young families to the area. To the west of Enfield Town is Trent Country Park, a large area of open countryside broken up by woodlands and lakes, a haven for the area’s wildlife.

Transport facilities include mainline stations at Enfield Chase (to Moorgate), Enfield Town and Bush Hill Park (both to Liverpool Street). The nearest tube is Southgate (Piccadilly Line).
