More information about our surveyors

We survey buildings in Shepherds Bush. 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 Shepherds Bush and the Shepherds Bush Area

Shepherds Bush which is a district of west London in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.

Shepherds Bush is well known as being the home of the ‘BBC Television Centre' and the ‘Shepherds Bush Empire' a world famous music venue built in 1903.

The name ‘Shepherds Bush' is thought to have derived from shepherds using the land as a resting point when on their way to ‘Smithfield Market' in the City of London.

Lawrence Dallaglio the retired ‘English Rugby Union' player was born in Shepherds Bush in 1972.

Although it is primarily residential in character, its focus is the shopping area of Shepherds Bush Green, which has a small shopping centre with a supermarket, cinema and gym, and a large number of small and mostly independent shops. A large new shopping centre is planned for October 2008.

Many of the houses are large terraced buildings from the 19 th century which have now been converted into flats (an example of a Leasehold survey of a converted property can be downloaded from our downloadable surveys section). There is also a big housing estate in the White City area called the White City Estate which was built to house the athletes for the Olympic Games of 1908.

By doing this we can make sure that you completely understand the property you are buying and that you understand what the issues are.
