Top tips for a Lewisham Home Buyers Survey
Lewisham has had two large regeneration schemes in recent years, bringing with them more than 1,000 new homes but its conservation areas have many Victorian and Edwardian properties, such as can be found in Brookmill Road. There are French baroque-style houses in Micheldever Road.
Some homes date from when wealthy merchants in the 17th and 18th centuries built large houses with large grounds in the locale, although most have been knocked down as the area became further developed, with higher density housing, something which occurred in the middle of the 19th century.
You can find bow-fronted cottages in the terraces around St John's and Brookmill conservation areas. You can find new build homes in the Renaissance development in Loampit Vale, which consist of medium-/high-rise flat blocks (between 8 and 24 stories). In the Ladywell area, you can find many excellent homes built by Jerrard in the Victorian period. These properties have Italianate gable ends and rounded windows.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A Home Buyers Survey is completed by a qualified RICS surveyor and delivers a visual inspection of the property in Lewisham and the surrounding garden. The aim of the survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is to identify potential risks or defects that you may not know are there such as cracks or damage to the structure of the property, subsidence, damp and infestations.
