Surveyors in Greenwich

Thinking of buying in Greenwich, or need a property issue resolved? Then it sounds like you need the help of a chartered surveyor. This guide covers when to hire a surveyor, what services they provide, and why their advice matters. From building surveys to party wall support and valuation, we’ll help you navigate property decisions with clarity and confidence.

What is a Surveyor?

A surveyor is a property professional. Their job is to inspect buildings, assess conditions and identify potential problems. They’re here to give you a clearer picture, so you can make the right decisions. In places like Greenwich, where homes range from Georgian townhouses to new riverside apartments, a surveyor’s input is essential. They look for any issues they can find. Our chartered surveyors are accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), meaning they are the epitome of excellence and reliability. This accreditation ensures they follow strict professional standards, providing you with trusted advice rooted in expertise, technical knowledge, and impartiality. When a surveyor is instructed, they carry out a detailed inspection of the property. This includes both visible issues, like cracked walls or signs of damp, and hidden issues that may not show up until later. They cross-reference their findings with planning history, legal documents, and relevant building regulations to provide a comprehensive report that tells you exactly what you need to know. Surveyors don’t just look at buildings, they provide you with peace of mind. Whether you’re buying your first home, managing a complex renovation, or settling a boundary issue with a neighbour, having a qualified surveyor on your side allows you to make informed, confident decisions that protect your investment for years to come.

How will our Surveyor in Greenwich help you?

Our Greenwich-based surveyors provide expert support for buyers, homeowners, landlords, and investors.

If you’re buying, our Building Surveys and HomeBuyer Reports give you a detailed picture of a property’s condition. We flag structural issues, defects and future maintenance concerns, helping you make informed decisions. Not sure which survey you need? We’ll guide you based on the property’s age and type.

Planning building work? If it involves a shared wall or boundary, we’ll handle the entire party wall process, from serving notices to issuing Party Wall Awards. We also prepare Schedules of Condition, which document neighbouring properties before work begins, protecting you from potential claims later.

We also offer RICS-compliant property valuations for sales, purchases, insurance, and legal matters. Every valuation is backed by local insight, current market data, and a thorough site inspection. You’ll receive a clear, jargon-free report you can rely on.

Disputing a boundary? Our boundary surveys offer clarity and resolution. With precise measurements and legal review, we’ll help define exactly what belongs to you, avoiding unnecessary disputes and delays.

When should you hire a Surveyor in Greenwich?

There are many situations where hiring a surveyor isn’t just helpful, it’s essential. From the elegant Georgian houses around Greenwich Park to modern flats near the O2, properties across the borough present their own unique risks and complexities. Here are some scenarios where you might need our assistance.
  • You’re concerned about a property’s condition – Before purchasing a home, especially one that is older or has architectural quirks, it’s always wise to have a professional survey carried out. Greenwich has no shortage of older properties, and while their charm is undeniable, they often comes with issues that aren’t immediately obvious to the untrained eye. While estate agents focus on appearance, we look deeper, identifying what might cost you further down the line. With our help, you can make a sound decision with full knowledge of what you’re buying into.
  • You’re planning to build or extend – If you’re undertaking a home extension, loft conversion, or basement dig, and the work affects a shared wall or boundary, the Party Wall Act 1996 comes into effect. This is where our specialist surveyors step in. We’ll guide you through the legal process from start to finish, preparing and serving the required notices, handling negotiations with neighbours, and preparing Party Wall Awards where needed.
  • You need an accurate valuation – In a fluctuating market, accurate valuations are essential. Whether you’re buying or selling, our RICS-registered valuers offer independent, data-backed reports that reflect the current market and your property’s true condition. We don’t rely on guesswork or automated tools. We visit the property, examine it thoroughly, review comparable sales in the area, and apply our local insight to deliver a fair, reliable valuation you can count on.
