Reinstatement Cost Assessments in Greenwich

Reinstatement Cost across Greenwich

Accurate reinstatement cost assessments are essential for adequate insurance cover. Under-insurance can leave you exposed to significant losses in the event of a claim. Greenwich's diverse building stock of Georgian maritime heritage and modern developments requires careful assessment by surveyors who understand the specific construction methods and materials involved, including specialist items that generic online calculators consistently miss.

We provide RICS compliant reinstatement cost assessments for properties across Greenwich, calculating the true cost of rebuilding in the event of total loss. Our assessments account for demolition, site clearance, rebuilding to current standards and professional fees. Properties in Greenwich often have construction characteristics — settlement in Georgian terraces on riverside alluvial ground, damp penetration in period maritime buildings, structural movement in converted industrial waterfront buildings — that affect rebuild costs materially.
