Shoreditch's residential market is dominated by converted warehouse lofts, modern apartment buildings and flats in Victorian terraces. Each property type has distinct survey requirements, from checking the structural integrity of adapted warehouse frames to assessing cladding on contemporary developments.
We carry out RICS Level 2 and Level 3 home surveys across Shoreditch, giving buyers clear assessments of condition and defects. Our experience with converted buildings means we understand what to look for in properties that may have been adapted from non-residential origins.
Assessment of converted warehouse lofts including structural frame condition, roof coverings, original features, conversion quality and any ongoing maintenance obligations.
Surveys of new-build and recent apartments in Shoreditch, checking build quality, snagging issues, communal areas and external wall construction.
Level 3 surveys for the Victorian terraces and Georgian properties that remain in Shoreditch's residential streets.
Clear cost estimates for defects identified during the survey, supporting buyers in negotiating fair purchase prices.
Absolutely. Warehouse conversions vary enormously in quality and may conceal significant issues including structural deficiencies, water ingress and inadequate fire protection that are not apparent to the untrained eye.
For warehouse conversions and older buildings we recommend a Level 3 survey. For modern apartments in good condition a Level 2 may be sufficient, though we can advise based on the specific property.
Yes. We inspect accessible communal areas, the roof, external elevations and grounds in addition to the flat itself. This gives a full picture of the building your flat sits within.
Two to four hours on site depending on the size and complexity of the property. Reports are issued within five working days of the inspection.
