Rickmansworth Properties: What I Look For
Practical construction experience helps me recognise defects, understand their causes and explain appropriate repairs.
1920s–1930s Homes
Original roof coverings, rendered walls and early cavity walls can all need attention.
Period Cottages
Older houses of traditional construction need a surveyor who understands them.
Rivers, Lakes & Canal
Properties nearby need careful assessment of damp and drainage.
Extended Family Homes
Extensions and remodelling vary widely in quality.
Mature Gardens & Trees
Trees close to buildings can contribute to movement on some soils.
Flats & Conversions
Shared roofs and structures raise maintenance questions.
Which Survey Do You Need in Rickmansworth?
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 Rickmansworth 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
