We can provide both RICS Level 2 (Homebuyer) Reports and Level 3 Building Surveys and are happy to advise on which best suits your needs. Optional extras include a valuation, ballpark repair costs, the reinstatement cost (for insurance purposes) or a feasibility study if you are planning to extend.
Extensions in West London will generally give rise to party wall considerations and that’s another of our areas of expertise.

The Party Wall Act provides a statutory framework to give homeowners the rights they need to extend or alter their property while ensuring that neighbouring properties and their owners are protected during the works. Rights provided by the Act include cutting into a party wall and increasing its height as well as associated access.
Where proposed works fall within the scope of the Act, affected adjoining owners must be formally notified and our team of party wall surveyors can get the proceedings off on the right track by preparing that notice pack for you. Adjoining owners are more likely to consent when they can see that the plans have been reviewed and the notice prepared by an experienced surveyor.
If there is a dissent to a notice, either explicit or due to a lack of response, both parties must appoint a surveyor so that a party wall award can be prepared to authorise the works while ensuring that the risk of damage to adjoining structures is minimised. The two owners can appoint a joint surveyor and that’s a common option on residential projects.
