Able Surveyors boast more than 25 years’ experience of delivering RICS surveys and valuations, and specialist building investigations and services to private and commercial clients in Southwark and across Central and Greater London.

Investing in Southwark

The London Borough of Southwark is an ancient borough that contains some of the capital’s best attractions and a wealth of neighbourhoods to cater for all demographics. It’s a hugely diverse area stretching from Central London riverside locations to East Dulwich’s peaceful suburban atmosphere, offering up-and-coming neighbourhoods and established family areas that might pique the interest of savvy property investors.

Regeneration over the decades has seen the borough transform to suit the modern needs of the capital, including the Shad Thames warehouse conversions and Peckham’s gentrification. Southwark is ethnically diverse, with more affluent pockets such as Dulwich sitting side by side with more deprived areas such as Livesey and West Walworth.

Southwark’s overall average property price stands at £722,561 according to Rightmove, which is more expensive than nearby Lewisham, Greenwich and Bromley. The majority of property sales in Southwark last year involved flats.

FAQs

When is a Stock Condition Survey (SCS) useful?

This type of survey assesses the main internal and external parts of a property, to records its current condition and assist in preventative maintenance planning. It is particularly useful for large property portfolios and can also be used to gather information on energy efficiency, asbestos management and other specific goals. A SCS is tailored to meet your exact property requirements.

What are condition ratings in a RICS survey report?

RICS surveys use easy-to-understand condition ratings to identify and describe a property’s condition and urgency of repairs. Condition Rating 1 (green) means that no repairs are needed, Condition Rating 2 (amber) indicates defects that are not considered urgent or serious, Condition Rating 3 (red) denotes serious building defects that require urgent repair/replacement.
