I've used and would recommend Des Kelly, who is local /knows the area well and did a very comprehensive job - climbing into cupboards with a damp monitor etc!

Hi Sask, you're right in wanting to get a structural survey carried out! We've done quite a few in SW11 so I'd be happy to have a chat with you. You can reach me directly on 07833478480 or have a look at our website www.tayross.com

Always best to get an independent building survey done. When we bought our house last year we used (http://www.leohorsfieldsurveying.co.uk/ ) They were very good.

Good luck

I think the mortgage lender may do their own but we have been told to also have a full structural survey done independently. I thought that was standard but as a first-time homebuyer I don’t know.

congratulations!

just a thought - it's usually the mortgage company that appoint their own.

is this not the case for you?

Our offer on a house has been accepted! I am now looking for a recommendation for a local surveyor who is familiar with the SW11 area and can complete a full structural survey.

If you've worked with someone you recommend, please let me know!

Thanks in advance.
