Residential surveyor in Fulham
Fulham offers a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and an increasing number of modern apartment developments. The area has seen significant investment and renovation, which means surveyors frequently encounter properties that have been extended, converted or substantially altered, each requiring careful assessment.
Level 2 from £499, Level 2 Plus from £599, Level 3 from £699, including all taxes and fees.

Local property context
What matters when surveying in Fulham
Many Fulham houses have been adapted for modern living through rear additions, loft conversions and internal opening-up. The inspection should consider how new and original fabric meet, including flat-roof junctions, drainage, structural support and ventilation.
A Level 3 is generally preferable for a substantially extended house, a basement conversion or a property with visible movement or damp. A conventional property in reasonable condition may suit a Level 2, but the agreed service should reflect the actual alterations rather than the estate agent’s description.
Property types in the area
- Victorian terraces (many with rear extensions)
- Edwardian family homes
- converted flats
- purpose-built flats
- modern new-build apartments.
Condition themes to consider
These are prompts for inspection, not a prediction that a particular home has a defect.
- Rear extension quality and flat roof condition
- damp in party walls
- subsidence on clay
- bay window movement
- quality of loft and basement conversions.
Before exchange of contracts
- Supply plans or seller documents for rear, loft or basement works where available.
- Ask the conveyancer to verify planning, building control and any relevant party-wall documentation.
- Flag flat-roof areas, cracking near openings and signs of staining or recent redecoration.
- Budget for maintenance of both the original property and later additions rather than considering them separately.

Queens Park
Queens Park is where JBS Surveying is based. The name covers two different places: the late Victorian and Edwardian streets around the park itself on the Brent side, and the Queen’s Park Estate south of the Harrow Road in Westminster, a planned estate of small terraced cottages built by the Artizans’, Labourers’ and General Dwellings Company from the 1870s.
