Which survey is right for my Waltham Forest property?
For 1930s semi-detached homes, post-war houses and purpose-built flats in Waltham Forest that appear to be in reasonable condition, a RICS Level 2 Home Survey is usually sufficient. For period properties — Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Walthamstow, Leyton or Leytonstone — we strongly recommend the more detailed Level 3 Building Survey. If you are unsure, call us with the property details and we will advise at no charge.
Do you cover Victorian terraces in Walthamstow and Leyton?
Yes. Our surveyors have extensive experience with Waltham Forest's many Victorian and Edwardian terraces, particularly in Walthamstow Village, Leyton and Leytonstone. We understand traditional solid wall construction, the common defects in these period properties, and the ground conditions on London Clay with gravel terraces that affect this part of north-east London.
What areas of Waltham Forest do you cover?
We cover the entire borough including Walthamstow (including Walthamstow Village and Walthamstow Central), Leyton, Leytonstone, Chingford (including Chingford Mount and North Chingford), Highams Park and all surrounding areas within the London Borough of Waltham Forest.
