Building Surveyor Harrow

We carry out residential structural surveys and commercial surveys in Harrow, which is in London, the capital city of England and the United Kingdom and is the biggest urban area in Great Britain. However, London has never actually been confirmed officially as the capital in writing or by statute. It is only the capital through convention. The capital of England was originally Winchester once the Palace of Westminster evolved in the 12th and 13th centuries and eventually became the main residence of the royal court and the political capital of England .

Information on Harrow and where to get a building survey

We carry out residential structural surveys and commercial surveys in Harrow, which is London, the capital city of England and the United Kingdom and is the biggest urban area in Great Britain. However, London has never actually been confirmed officially as the capital in writing or by statute. It is only the capital through convention. The capital of England was originally Winchester once the Palace of Westminster evolved in the 12th and 13th centuries and eventually became the main residence of the royal court and the political capital of England .

The River Thames is a main feature of London and runs from the south-west to the east. The Thames used to be wider and less deep with marshlands around it but it has been considerably embanked over the years and much now flows underground. London is susceptible to flooding and the Thames Barrier was built to alleviate the problem, but more work is expected over the coming years to prevent floods.

London is a multicultural city with many religions and cultures being represented and over 300 different languages being spoken.

Harrow is an Anglo-Saxon word meaning “temple or sacred grove”. As well as being an area popular with major employers it also has a wonderful countryside to explore. A fifth of Harrow's area is green belt land and is owned by the council.

Harrow has around 205,000 residents and is said to be the twelfth largest borough.

Harrow is a lively metropolitan town only ten miles from central London. With its plentiful supply of parks and opens spaces, we are spoilt for choice when looking for somewhere to relax and take a break after completing building surveys in the area.

 

Building Survey in Harrow area of London

We strongly recommend that when purchasing a property that you have an Independent Surveyor provide you with a building survey. It is laughable to expect that a mortgage owned surveyor will give impartial advice. Call an Independent Surveyor on 0800 298 5424.

 

As you will see from our example surveys above our surveys are detailed documents, which are written in plain English with lots of explanations of building terms and including sketches and digital photos. We write the survey in a way to enable you to understand the problem and how to resolve it. We always give an 'Action Required' for any issues raised and also give you an idea of the 'Anticipated Costs' involved in sorting out any problems we find. We carry out lots of surveys in the Harrow area.
