Cadell Close, Shoreditch, London, E2
The Instruction
Stokemont’s RICS Building Surveying team were instructed to undertake a comprehensive Full Building Survey of a post-war mid-terraced residential property on Cadell Close, Shoreditch, London, E2.
Our instruction focused on assessing the property’s overall condition, identifying potential defects and providing professional advice regarding maintenance, repairs and any areas requiring further investigation.
The Property
Cadell Close is a residential location in East London, situated close to the vibrant neighbourhoods of Shoreditch and Bethnal Green. The surrounding area offers a mixture of established housing, modern residential developments and excellent local amenities.
The property benefits from convenient access to local shops, restaurants, cafés and green spaces, with nearby transport connections providing easy access to central London and surrounding areas.
Key Survey Findings
Our survey involved a detailed assessment of the post-war property’s construction, including its older-style cavity walls, flat roof arrangement and extensive rear garden.
Particular consideration was given to the potential maintenance and performance issues associated with cavity wall construction, alongside the challenges presented by the obscured flat roof and restricted inspection access.
The property’s construction characteristics and inspection limitations required a carefully considered approach to identifying potential defects and assessing areas that could not be fully examined.
Our Advice
We provided comprehensive, independent advice regarding the property’s condition, highlighting areas of potential concern and recommending appropriate maintenance, repairs and further investigations where necessary.
Our assessment considered the limitations associated with the roof and other inaccessible elements, ensuring our client understood the potential risks and implications of these restrictions.
We also advised on the importance of ongoing property maintenance and the need to address any identified defects to safeguard the building’s long-term condition.
The Outcome
Our involvement provided our client with a detailed understanding of the property’s construction, condition and potential maintenance requirements.
Through our comprehensive surveying approach, we helped our client make informed decisions while identifying areas requiring further consideration.
