  • Market Valuation
    Expert property valuations are a vital tool for legal and financial requirements in South London. We provide RICS-compliant valuations for matrimonial matters, tax planning, probate, insurance, and high-value mortgage applications across the borough. Market Valuation
  • Structural Surveys
    Determining the integrity of construction and materials is vital, especially when renovating properties within Wandsworth’s many conservation areas. Our structural surveys are frequently required by lenders and are increasingly common for SW18 homeowners exploring equity release or major structural alterations like loft conversions or kitchen extensions.
  • Asbestos Sampling Survey
    Given the age and industrial heritage of many buildings in Wandsworth and the surrounding riverside areas, asbestos sampling is a crucial step for buyers. Identifying asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) allows you to accurately budget for safe removal or renegotiate your purchase price based on expert findings.
  • Drone Inspection Survey
    Surveying high chimney stacks, intricate parapet walls, and hard-to-reach elevations on Wandsworth’s taller Victorian residences is made easy with our drone technology. This non-disruptive method offers a precise assessment for repairs and cost projections, providing a bird’s-eye view of roof conditions and valley gutters without the need for expensive scaffolding.

FAQs

What can you expect from a mortgage valuation?

A mortgage valuation arranged by the lender will consist of a brief visit from a surveyor to confirm the property’s value and ensure that it conforms with lending criteria. Any findings are unlikely to be shared with you, so if you wish to find out detailed information about the condition of the building you are thinking of buying, you should commission your own independent property survey.
