Specialised Local Knowledge
We regularly conduct surveys on the popular 1930s semi-detached houses and detached family homes in areas like Hayes and West Wickham, and we are experts in identifying specific defects, such as aging roof structures or subsidence risks, that can affect properties in these leafy suburbs. We also have extensive experience with the period properties and Edwardian villas found in the conservation areas of Shortlands and Chislehurst.
We also provide professional snagging reports and valuations for the contemporary new-build developments and high-specification apartment blocks revitalising Bromley Town Centre and the Beckhenham corridor.

FAQs
- What is a Schedule of Condition?
-
A Schedule of Condition is a factual record of the condition of a commercial or residential property. It’s a useful document to put in place at the beginning of a new lease or tenancy to protect both landlord and tenant in the event of any future dilapidations claims. A Schedule of Condition may also be required as part of a Party Wall Award.
- Why do you need a Stock Condition Survey?
-
It is good practice for landlords to inspect their property asset to understand its current condition, both inside and out. The information collected via a Stock Condition Survey can then be used to assist with planning future maintenance programmes, ensuring that budgets are allocated efficiently and the value of the asset preserved and enhanced.
