London's housing stock is uniquely complex — Victorian terraces, Edwardian conversions, post-war blocks and modern new-builds all hide different risks. A mortgage valuation is not a survey; it tells your lender what the bank can recover, not what's actually wrong with the property. A Level 2 or Level 3 survey from our network surfaces damp, structural movement, roof defects, electrical risks and unauthorised extensions before you exchange — giving you grounds to renegotiate, walk away, or proceed with full confidence.
For most flats and standard terraces under 100 years old in reasonable condition, a Level 2 Home Survey is appropriate. For older properties (Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian), listed buildings, anything with extensions or visible defects, choose a Level 3 Building Survey for a deeper structural inspection. Not sure which? Send us the postcode and we'll advise — no pressure.
