We carry out residential structural surveys and commercial surveys in Greenwich and the Greenwich area. If you are planning to book a building survey on a property you are purchasing in Greenwich then we would like to assure you that we always send a suitably qualified and experienced surveyor to carry out the job. This ensures that you get expert advice on any issues that we may find with the property we are surveying. All our surveyors are members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors - RICS - and are Independent Surveyors. Being 'independent' means that they are working for you and you alone; they do not work for a mortgage company or an estate agents, so they have your best interests at heart.
Greenwich is a wealthy area in the borough and has some beautiful Georgian properties and Westcombe Road near to the ‘Royal' park is a place we have visited as Independent Surveyors.
Greenwich is full of maritime history and is the home of the Grade l listed ‘ Old Royal Naval College ' which sits on the River Thames. Described by some as an ‘architectural masterpiece' this former college was originally built as a hospital for seamen and is a unique venue for various events such as weddings and balls.
The ‘ National Maritime Museum ' in Greenwich shows the history of man's association with the sea and contains models, paintings, displays and trophies from all over the world. The museum also has a professional ship simulator. This is a great place to visit and entrance is free.
The ‘Cutty Shark' ship, the world's last tea clipper was built in 1869 in Dumbarton and is today based here in Greenwich . The ship was badly damaged by fire in 2007 and is at present being restored and should open to the public in 2012.
Built in 1675 by Christopher Wren the ‘Royal Observatory' Greenwich is the home of Greenwich Mean Time and the Prime Meridian, the reference line for Greenwich Mean Time. It is the official starting point of each new day and year and is a very important historic site.
The state-of-the-art ‘London Planetarium' is part of the Royal Observatory and is a great place to visit if you are interested in astronomy.
‘ Greenwich Park ', home of the Royal Observatory and the London Planetarium is the oldest ‘Royal' park and covers 183 acres. The park has a bandstand, children's play area, teahouse, tennis courts, putting green, rugby and cricket pitches and a children's boating pool.
‘Greenwich Theatre' was once a Victorian Music Hall and offers a wide and varied programme.
Greenwich has some lovely quirky shops and great street markets and also a good choice of bars and restaurants and is a place we love to visit to carry out residential and commercial building surveys.

Our Residential Building Surveys are tailor made to suit your requirements. When you book your survey we will ask you to grade your building survey knowledge from 1 - 4, with 1 being 'next to no building survey knowledge' and 4 being 'excellent building survey knowledge'. From this we can tailor make your building survey. Depending upon your knowledge level we will add additional photographs to the building survey or will give you more definitions of building terminology, or add extra sketches to help describe particular areas of concern or to show you for example what type of roof your proposed property has or what type of brickwork the property is built in. By doing this we can make sure that you completely understand the property you are buying and that you understand what the issues are.
Our Commercial Building Surveys are also tailored to suit your property requirements. When you book your survey we will ask you to grade your commercial property knowledge from 1 - 4, with 1 being 'next to no commercial property knowledge' and 4 being 'excellent commercial property knowledge'. From this we can tailor make your building survey. So depending on how much knowledge you have of Commercial building surveying and typical problems arising from commercial building surveying our building surveyors can adjust their building survey report accordingly and include more photos and detail descriptions of the issue and your best course of action to fix them.
