As Chartered Building Surveyors in London and with 6 offices across the capital, we are perfectly placed to undertake all aspects of residential surveying work within the M25 area.
Our growing team offers a full range of professional services, supported by decades of industry experience. In addition to RICS HomeBuyer Reports and Building Surveys, our surveyors routinely carry out party wall appointments, valuations and leasehold extension negotiations. We can also provide expert assistance with lease plans, licenses to alter or schedules of outstanding works and much more.
At Peter Barry, we pride ourselves on providing a personable service with advice tailored to your specific project. As part of this, we are happy to negotiate with other surveyors, freeholders or agents on your behalf. Each Peter Barry surveyor is a qualified specialist in their field, and will actively provide you with friendly guidance and recommendations to help you make the best decisions regarding your property.
An independent property survey is usually commissioned by the buyer during the conveyancing process, i.e., after the offer to buy has been accepted but before contracts are exchanged. It is highly recommended that you protect your investment by consulting the advice of a property expert about the structural condition of the building and other potential issues that could influence the purchasing decision.
While there is no obligation to have a survey carried out, it would be foolhardy to invest in a property without having a clear understanding of the condition it is in. Without an accurate valuation or knowledge of any defects present, you could be paying more than the property is worth, and be saddled with thousands of pounds in unexpected repair costs after you move in. An independent pre-purchase survey offers protection and can actually save you money.
