Recent Activity in Brixton SW2

One of our specialist lease extension valuation surveyors, Steve Hobbs, recently carried out a lease extension valuation for a purpose-built flat on the Tulse Hill Estate. The estate comprises a series of local authority type blocks of flats, one of which was formerly home to a young Ken Livingstone!

Many of the flats have been sold to residents under the Right to Buy legislation with 125 years leases running from 1984, which now have under 90 years left to run. The shorter the lease gets the more expensive it becomes to extend, so now is a good time for residents to consider renewing their leases.

Steve provided the client with a full valuation report, including an estimated premium alongside best and worst case scenarios. The client was pleased with the service, commenting; ‘Quick and helpful service with a lease extension valuation’.

Excellent service, Bawor was extremely professional and efficient in providing the support I needed to get my award.
Excellent service and comprehensive survey provided
After our initial visit from James Merewether.We have found Peter Barry surveyors to be friendly and professional
We had an excellent experience with Peter Barry Chartered Surveyors. Their communication was fast and seamless, and they were always available when we needed them. Our surveyor was not only professional but also genuinely helpful, offering clear insights and practical advice that helped us save money. His open and approachable nature made the process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended
Good experience with Peter Barry. They were efficient, clear in communications and good to work with all round. Recommend
I've found the Winchmore Hill office to be extremely helpful and professional. From my first enquiry, the two people I spoke to initially took time to answer all my questions and explain the process, which I was new to.
After that, Trina on the administration side and Katie the surveyor were both very helpful, friendly and reliable. During the survey itself, Katie went to great lengths to help and spent a good time answering my questions afterwards too. I appreciated their service and would recommend them.
