Finchley's building stock is dominated by inter-war suburban housing, with streets of 1930s semi-detached and detached houses stretching across North Finchley, Finchley Central and Church End. The area also includes Victorian properties around East Finchley, a range of school buildings, and post-war residential developments. These building types each present distinct surveying challenges, from cavity wall tie failure in 1930s houses to flat roof deterioration and fire safety in educational buildings.
