We carry out residential structural surveys and commercial surveys in Heathrow and the Heathrow area. If you are planning to book a building survey on a property you are purchasing in Heathrow 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 Chartered 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.
When we all think about Heathrow we automatically think of Heathrow Airport. The UK's busiest airport with approximately 64 million passengers per year, 90 airlines and around 170 destinations – Wow! Located approximately one mile from the Borough of Hillingdon the airport has excellent public transport links. We often like to take a break whilst carrying out residential structural surveys and commercial surveys in Heathrow to do a bit of plane spotting, and if you are in the process of purchasing a property in Heathrow we would advise a building survey rather than just a mortgage survey as they provide you with a detailed survey report of the property advising of any concealed defects which are often not easy to spot.
Terminal 5 is the latest expansion to Heathrow which opened its doors to customers in March 2008. It is the largest free-standing building in the UK and is as big as 50 football pitches or Hyde Park in central London.
The M4 and M25 motorways are all within easy reach of Heathrow as is the A4 dual carriageway. The Bath Road is situated on the A4 which has a long tradition of being popular with hotels since the early 1800's long before Heathrow even existed. During that time coaching inns were prevalent offering travellers and their horses a place to rest overnight before continuing their journey between London and the West of England. As Chartered Surveyors we have also visited the surrounding built-up areas of Harlington, Harmondsworth, Longford and Cranford which lie just to the north of Heathrow.
Interesting facts:
In November 1983 6,800 gold bars worth approximately £26million were taken from a vault near Heathrow. Only two men were convicted and only a portion of the gold was recovered.
On the 18 December 2010 a significant snow fall (approximately 9cm) caused the entire airport to close, causing one of the biggest events at the airport of all time. Around 4,000 flights were cancelled over a five day period with 9,500 passengers having to spend the night at the airport.
You may wish to buy a buy to let property in the Heathrow area. If you need any help or advice or a survey carried out on the property then phone 0800 208 5424. We specialise in properties of multi-occupancy and can advise on buying properties for this purpose and carrying out surveys on them.

We always recommend that people have a building survey carried out by an Independent Chartered Surveyor. It is laughable to expect that a mortgage owned / estate agent owned surveyors will give impartial advice. Call an Independent Chartered Surveyor on 0800 298 5424 for an impartial survey.
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.
