Residential surveying across London, with a focus on North, North West and West London
JBS Surveying is based in Queens Park, NW6, and works across London. Most of our instructions are in North, North West and West London, where we know the housing stock, the ground and the local planning controls well.
A London-only residential surveying practice
That focused geography is intentional. JBS is designed around the realities of London homes, flats and shared-building structures. Clients benefit from a service shaped around this local housing stock rather than broad nationwide coverage.
Coverage areas
North West London
Our home patch: JBS is based in Queens Park. A strong mix of Victorian and Edwardian homes, mansion blocks, interwar suburbs and converted flats, where age, alterations and clay ground often shape the advice.
West London
A broad range of flats, terraces, larger houses and modern developments, with varied stock and many instructions involving conversions, leasehold arrangements and extension history.
North London
Diverse housing stock from Georgian and Victorian terraces to interwar suburbs, purpose-built flats and modern homes, often calling for clear practical advice on condition, repair and next steps.
Rest of London
We also take instructions across the rest of London, including South West, South East, East and Central London and the outer London boroughs. Send us the postcode and we will confirm.

The properties we commonly inspect
The value of local experience is not just geography. It is familiarity with the kinds of buildings clients are actually buying. Across London, and particularly in North, North West and West London, JBS regularly works with a wide range of residential property types.
Why a London focus matters
London residential property is not straightforward. Varied housing stock, flats within shared structures, leasehold arrangements, altered and extended homes, and the maintenance realities of older buildings all require practical judgement and local familiarity.
Flats and shared structures
Much of London is flats. Understanding leasehold, shared fabric and building management context is essential to useful advice.
Altered and extended homes
London homes are frequently altered. Knowing what to look for in extensions, conversions and structural changes improves the service.
Older building stock
Victorian, Edwardian and interwar buildings have distinct characteristics. Local experience helps identify what matters and what does not.
Unsure whether we cover your property?
