Caveat Emptor, why have a Building Survey?

Caveat Emptor means Buyer Beware and whilst the buyer should be aware that they have liability it can help to make a unique selling point if your house has its own independent structural survey carried out.

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.

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.

Richmond is a great place to shop with a choice of high street stores, designer shops, boutiques and antique shops.

Richmond has a good selection of restaurants, wine bars and cafes, many by the river.

The beautiful Richmond Theatre, designed by the architect Frank Matcham was built in 1899 and offers drama, musicals, opera, dance and more. Charlie Chaplin, Stan Laurel and Michael Redgrave are just a few famous names that have appeared on its stage.

Chislehurst Road and Chester Avenue are just two of the places here we have had the pleasure of working on residential building surveys.
