Trusted building surveyors serving Greater London

Few property markets place more weight on a thorough building survey than London's. Transactions move quickly, assets carry significant value, and the stock diversity means no two instructions are alike. Getting the condition of a building wrong at the point of acquisition or lease renewal is a costly mistake. Getting it right starts with the right surveyor.

Our RICS-registered surveyors work with investors, developers, occupiers, lenders, and insolvency practitioners across Greater London, delivering surveys and condition assessments that give clients the confidence to proceed. Instructions across Croydon, Bromley, Enfield, Kingston upon Thames, and central London are supported through our Enfield and central London offices.

Call 0800 051 2593, email [email protected], or complete our contact form to reach the team. We will arrange a no-obligation consultation to discuss your property and what you need from us.

Schedule of condition

A schedule of condition records the precise state of a property at a specific point in time, most commonly at the start of a lease. The document limits a tenant's repair liability to no worse than the condition recorded, providing important protection throughout the lease term.

Which commercial property types do we survey in Greater London?

Backed by 180 years of experience, our surveyors are equipped to assess the full breadth of commercial stock across the capital and its outer boroughs. Property types we regularly survey include:

Offices

London's office market spans an enormous range of building ages, configurations, and specifications. A converted Victorian warehouse in Southwark presents entirely different survey considerations to a 1980s tower in Croydon or a newly fitted floor in a Canary Wharf high-rise.

Our surveyors know what to look for across all of them, producing clear, actionable reports whether you are acquiring, exiting, or renegotiating a lease.

Retail units

Retail property across Greater London carries structural and compliance considerations that vary sharply by borough, building age, and format.

From high street units in Kingston upon Thames and Bromley town centre to larger format retail in out-of-town schemes, we assess shopfront condition, fire compartmentation, servicing, and back-of-house provision in full, giving buyers and tenants a reliable picture before they commit.

Industrial and logistics buildings

Demand for industrial and logistics space inside Greater London is intense, and supply is constrained. That combination raises the stakes on every acquisition. Older multi-unit estates in Enfield, last-mile distribution facilities close to the North Circular, and trade counter developments across the outer boroughs all carry specific structural and operational considerations.

We assess each thoroughly, with particular attention to portal frame integrity, floor loadings, and cladding condition.

Investment portfolios

London commercial portfolios frequently combine asset classes, locations, and building generations under one ownership. For clients managing investment assets across multiple boroughs, consistent and comparable survey outputs are essential.

We apply the same standards and the same rigour to every asset in a portfolio, giving you the reliable evidence base your decisions require.
