Local property context

What matters when surveying in South West London

South West London combines bay-fronted period houses, lower-ground accommodation, conversions, mansion blocks and later developments. The survey needs to distinguish age-related maintenance from defects that may affect cost, use or the decision to proceed.

A Level 3 is generally better suited to older, extended, visibly deteriorated or complex property. A Level 2 can be appropriate for a conventional property in reasonable condition. With flats, inspection findings should be considered alongside the lease, management information and planned major works obtained by the conveyancer.

Property types in the area

  • Victorian and Edwardian terraces
  • 1930s semis
  • converted flats
  • purpose-built mansion blocks
  • modern apartment schemes
  • detached family homes.

Condition themes to consider

These are prompts for inspection, not a prediction that a particular home has a defect.

  • Bay window movement in Victorian properties
  • roof covering deterioration
  • damp penetration in basements
  • thermal performance of solid walls
  • condition of shared structures in converted flats.

Before exchange of contracts

  • Point out any concern about a basement, bay window, roof, cracking or previous water entry when instructing.
  • For a flat, obtain management information and ask about major works, reserve funds and recent leaks.
  • Ask the conveyancer to verify permissions for extensions, loft conversions and structural alterations.
  • Allow time before exchange for quotations or further investigation where the report recommends them.

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.
