Hackney Area Information and our Testimonials

We carry out both Residential and Commercial Building Surveys in the London Borough of Hackney and have spent many great nights at the famous Hackney Empire which was built in 1901 as a music hall and now offers great music, drama, dance and comedy.

We have carried out surveys on many different types of buildings including public houses, shops and offices and many different eras of property. To read some testimonials from our clients please click the testimonial box to the right.

 

Hackney Building Surveyor

If you are purchasing a property in Hackney, please ensure that you have a building survey carried out on it. A building survey, prepared by a building surveyor could literally save you thousands of pounds. The survey only needs to uncover one potential problem with the property and the cost of the building survey is more than recovered.

Why our Building Surveys are the best

Our RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) qualified surveyors take great pride in the quality of our building surveys and produce a very detailed building survey report on both Residential and Commercial Property. We use plain English in our reports to explain any problems with the property to ensure that you understand the problems and how to resolve them. We also include sketches and photos like this thermal imaging photo to the right to further show and explain different issues.

Property really is our first love and in working for you we will be 100% committed to doing the best for you and your property.
