Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Level 2 and Level 3 surveys?

Level 2 surveys are suitable for conventional properties in reasonable condition, providing a good overview of the property's condition. Level 3 surveys are more comprehensive, ideal for older properties, those in poor condition, or unusual construction types. For Hampstead's period properties, we typically recommend Level 3 surveys.

How long does a building survey take?

The on-site inspection typically takes 2-4 hours depending on property size and complexity. We then prepare a comprehensive report which is usually delivered within 3-5 working days. Rush services are available for urgent requirements.

Do I need a party wall agreement for my extension?

Party wall procedures are required if you're building on or near a boundary, cutting into party walls, or excavating within 3-6 meters of neighboring foundations. Most extensions in Hampstead's terraced areas will require some form of party wall notice.

What areas do you cover?

We provide services across Hampstead, Belsize Park, West Hampstead, Swiss Cottage, Camden, Primrose Hill, and surrounding North London areas. We also cover Central London for larger commercial projects.

Do you provide expert witness services for court cases?

Yes, our RICS chartered surveyors regularly provide expert witness services for property-related legal disputes. We have extensive experience in county court, High Court, and arbitration proceedings, offering professional reports and testimony that meet legal standards.

What is included in project management services?

Our project management services include design coordination, contractor management, quality control, progress monitoring, and cost management. We handle everything from planning permission applications through to final completion and snagging.

How do dilapidations surveys help with lease negotiations?

Dilapidations surveys identify repair obligations under lease terms and quantify associated costs. This helps both landlords and tenants understand liabilities, negotiate fair settlements, and plan for end-of-lease obligations well in advance.
