Surveys of Properties in Stoke Newington

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

Recent Activity in Stoke Newington N16

Our client, looking to purchase a two-bedroom converted flat just off the common in Stoke Newington, opted for our combined RICS Level 2 Homebuyer Report and Valuation service to gain a professional insight into the property’s condition and establish whether the asking price was reasonable.

During the inspection, our surveyor David Breeze used a drone to assess the roof, where he noted inappropriate storage of items and the use of rigid cement flashings, both flagged as potential risks. He recommended the flashings be replaced with lead to avoid future cracking and water ingress. Internally, David identified evidence of damp throughout, a mix of condensation resulting from poor ventilation and a damp-proof course being bridged by a render finish.

Despite the defects, David’s valuation, supported by comparable sales data, confirmed that the asking price fairly reflected the market value. The client later praised the “efficiency and professionalism” of our team and said they would “highly recommend” our services.

With a network of buses and proximity to Overground stations, including Rectory Road and Stoke Newington itself, the neighbourhood is a well-connected hub, offering convenient access to the broader cityscape.

Stoke Newington’s identity is intricately woven with its substantial Jewish population, a community that has left an indelible mark on the area’s cultural landscape.
