Building survey — London property services by Mayfair

Property services

Building survey

The condition of the building, written so you can decide. Not a walk-round with no conclusion.

Private

For the owner, the landlord, the home.

Houses and flats before you buy, let or start work. We say what is wrong, what can wait, and what will cost.

Commercial

For the building that has to keep working.

Offices, retail and blocks. The survey is for a purchase, a lease or a refurbishment, and it says so.

How it is instructed

  1. 01Tell us the building and the decision
  2. 02We inspect against that decision
  3. 03You get a written survey, not a stack of photos

On every instruction

What it takes to actually do this.

Legal

Building survey is instructed in writing. If the job needs a contract, a lease consent, a licence or a party wall award, we coordinate it with the adviser who is allowed to give that advice. We are not a law firm.

Compliance

If building survey touches gas, electrics, fire, structure, asbestos or a building you let, the certificate or the duty is named before anyone starts. It is not left until the end.

Support

One desk stays with you after you instruct us. You are not passed between strangers. When the next step is needed, we say so and we do it.

Global

Building survey is taken in London and globally. Same desk. The local licence, the local professional and the local rule are named for that country before anyone is sent.

What we need from you

  • The address, and who can open the door
  • What you want fixed, in plain words
  • The lease, the freeholder rule, or the last report, if you have it
  • Who is allowed to say yes to the next cost
