Top tips for a London Home Buyers Survey
London, like most great world capitals, has a huge variety of different architectural styles from many periods. The oldest intact building in London is the Tower of London’s White Tower, built by William the Conqueror but there are surviving fragments of the Roman London Wall which date back as far as the late 2nd/early 3rd century.
Marylebone district has many properties with the beautiful frontages of the Arts & Crafts movement but the City of London’s buildings sometimes qualify as the ‘last word’ in design such as the Lloyds Building and the ‘Gherkin’. There is genuinely something for everyone, from ex-council estates to stunning new build developments, although prices are never cheap.

If you are concerned that a property you are looking to buy is in a flood risk area, you should consider getting a flood risk report (click for more details). | If you are concerned that a property you are looking to buy is in a flood risk area, you should consider getting a flood risk report (click for more details). | A high proportion of London is built on clay soil which has a higher chance of shrinkage that can cause or lead to subsidence. |

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 London 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.

A Building Survey is the most comprehensive visual inspection a RICS surveyor can provide on a property in London. It is suitable for:
- complex buildings, for example those that have been extensively extended and altered
- unique or older historic properties
- properties in poor condition; or
- those where the client is planning to carry out extensive repair and refurbishment work.
