Building Surveyor in Barnet
Independent RICS Level 3 and Level 2 surveys, party wall and land surveying in Barnet, carried out personally by Billy Clarke MCIOB AssocRICS.
Independent Building Surveyor in Barnet
Barnet ranges from the historic High Street area of Chipping Barnet to Victorian and Edwardian terraces, inter-war semi-detached streets and post-war flats. Much of north London is built on clay, so movement and cracking are always on my checklist.

Barnet Properties: What I Look For
Practical construction experience helps me recognise defects, understand their causes and explain appropriate repairs.
Inter-War Semis
Often extended at the rear or into the loft.
Victorian & Edwardian Terraces
Solid walls and original chimney stacks need careful inspection.
Clay Soils & Street Trees
Can contribute to seasonal movement and cracking.
Converted Flats
Shared structures, roofs and fire separation.
Conservation Areas
Period properties where alterations may need consent.
Loft Conversions
Often involve cutting into party walls.
Which Survey Do You Need in Barnet?
For older, larger, altered or unusual homes I recommend an RICS Level 3 Building Survey, which includes costs of repairs and additional repair advice.
For conventional homes in reasonable condition an RICS Home Survey Level 2 may be enough. If there’s one specific concern, a specific defect survey may be the right choice.
Extending or Altering a Barnet Home?
- Work on or near a shared wall may need party wall surveying
- Loft conversions often involve cutting into a party wall
- Excavating close to a neighbour's building can be notifiable
- Schedules of condition protect both neighbours
- Boundary questions and Land Registry plans – see land surveying
- Serve notices well before work starts
