More information about our building surveyors

We survey buildings in Knightsbridge. Our independent surveyors are experienced and qualified and produce high quality surveys including Structural surveys, Building surveys and valuations on both residential and commercial properties. We use surveyors who are experienced with old properties, many having direct hands on experience of working on listed buildings. Equally we understand newer construction, it may look the same to the untrained eye but performs very differently and we would say is built to a price not a quality standard. We also survey buildings that have been altered and extended both with and without planning permission and building regulations. We solve and deal with building disputes and can also help you with your extension and alteration design work.

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.

Interesting Facts About Knightsbridge and the Knightsbridge Area

Knightsbridge was once a small hamlet outside of the City of London and was once an area well known for highwaymen. Knightsbridge today is an area in the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Knightsbridge is one of the most affluent areas to live, not just in the UK but in the world, with areas such as Sloane Square and Brompton Road .

The exclusive and famous shop Harrods is on Brompton Road, and people visit from all over the world; selling everything from ladies, gents and children's fashions, to home and kitchenware, to sports and leisure facilities to food halls. There really is something for everyone here. Another well known and exclusive shop in Knightsbridge is Harvey Nichols; selling similar merchandise as Harrods and just as popular.

Knightsbridge is very close by to London 's largest park Hyde Park and is close to the Royal College of Music

Notable residents of Knightsbridge past and present include Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich, celebrity chef Nigella Lawson, presenter Sir David Frost and actor Hugh Grant.

As Independent Surveyors we are often in the Knightsbridge area of London and have carried out building surveys in the sought after Ovington Square which is just moments from Harrods and Beaufort Gardens. Knightsbridge is home to many of the world's richest people. It has some of the highest property prices in the world. When you are spending a small (or large) fortune on a property it is important to have an independent survey carried out by a surveyor.

As properties in the exclusive area of Knightsbridge command an exclusive premium we would strongly advise that you have an independent building survey carried out prior to legally committing to a purchase. We have vast experience of carrying out building surveys in Knightsbridge and the surrounding area which are often also known as structural surveys and would be delighted to give our expert advice on your property in Knighstsbridge giving you peace of mind that your new home does not have any hidden property issues.

Residential & Commercial Building Surveyors

Residential Building Surveyor

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.

Commercial Building Surveyor

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.
