What do London surveyors look at in a house survey?

During a building survey, a Chartered Surveyor will conduct a thorough inspection of the property.

Some of the things that building surveyor in London will look at include: 

  • Any signs of damp or mould
  • Insulation
  • Roofing
  • Fire safety and asbestos 
  • Structural integrity of the property and it’s foundations
  • Timber damage
  • Electric, gas, and drainage
  • Environmental issues
  • Dangerous plants
  • Permanent outbuildings and outdoor features

They will then provide a detailed report outlining their findings and any problems and concerns.

A surveyor will also provide background information on the property and its location. There may be crucial information about the surrounding area that your surveyor can provide. They are also able to complete a property valuation – although this may be at an extra cost.

Getting a house survey is highly recommended. It provides vital information about the property's condition, helping you avoid unexpected repair costs and ensures you make an informed decision about your purchase.

As many properties in London are older, there are issues that come with an ageing building that may need to be addressed. It is always good to be aware of anything that could be an issue in the future. 

If the inspection does reveal issues that were not previously disclosed, you may be able to negotiate a lower purchase price or request that the seller address certain repairs before finalising the sale.

Some issues that are commonly found in London properties are: 

  • Subsidence in parts of North and South London due to the clay soils
  • Damp especially in Victorian and Edwardian homes 
  • Asbestos in homes built or refurbished before the 1980s
  • Outdated electronics and plumbing

What is the difference between a surveyor and a chartered surveyor?

When choosing a building surveyor in London, it’s important to know who you’re working with. Surveyors qualifications and experience can vary across the city, so opting for a Chartered Surveyor gives you added confidence. These professionals are accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) it is a mark of excellence that ensures they've undergone rigorous training and meet strict industry standards.

In a city like London, where properties range from period townhouses to modern new builds, having a surveyor with local knowledge and RICS accreditation can make a real difference. Not only do Chartered Surveyors bring expertise in identifying common London property issues, they’re also accountable to a professional body. If concerns ever arise, you can escalate them through RICS for resolution.

At reallymoving, all of our building surveyors are RICS-regulated, so you can be sure you're getting trusted, expert advice tailored to London’s unique property landscape.

What are the different types of surveys you can get in London?

There are three main types of RICS surveys:

RICS Level 1: A basic condition report. This type of survey is best suited to new builds. The average price of a Level 1 Survey is £300-£700.

RICS Level 2 Homebuyers survey: A more detailed report that includes advice on repairs and ongoing maintenance. This level is best suited for relatively new properties in a reasonable condition. The average cost of a Level 2 Homebuyers Survey in London is £494.

RICS Level 3 Building Survey: The most comprehensive report, suitable for older or more complex properties. This survey is most likely to be the type of survey you will need if you are looking at purchasing an older property in London. The average cost of a Level 3 Building Survey is £780.

How long a house survey takes in London will depend on the level of survey you get and the size and complexity of the property. For examlple, a modern flat is likely to take less time than a large period house.

The time frame may vary, but you typically receive the report within a few days to a week after the inspection is completed.

In central and Greater London where demand may be higher and if you are moving during a peak season, it might be useful to check in advance with your surveyor how long the turnaround is.
