Home Survey Services for City of London Properties
The City of London, the historic and financial heart of the capital, has a distinctive residential property market. While primarily known as a global financial centre, the Square Mile has a growing residential population served by modern apartments in converted office and warehouse buildings, new-build residential towers, and a small number of historic residential pockets including the iconic Barbican estate. The City sits on London Clay with river terrace gravels across much of the area. The unique mix of commercial-to-residential conversions and high-rise residential developments demands specialist surveying knowledge of modern construction methods, fire safety systems and structural engineering.
