Condition ratings

The condition rating system is designed to simplify and summarise complex and detailed reports, making them more accessible to laypersons. By using a straightforward rating scale, the system highlights the key findings and necessary actions in a clear and concise manner. This approach ensures that individuals without technical expertise can easily understand the overall condition of a property and the urgency of any required remedial works.

No repair is urgently needed. The property must be maintained in the normal way.

Defects that need repairing or replacing but are not considered to be either serious or urgent

Defects that are serious and/or need to be repaired, replaced or investigated urgently

What is included?

The RICS Level 3 Survey, also known as a Building Survey, is the most detailed and comprehensive of the RICS surveys. It provides an extensive analysis of a property's condition, covering all accessible areas. This survey is particularly suitable for older properties, those that have undergone significant alterations, or homes of an unusual design.

The survey includes:

  • A thorough examination of the building's structure, detailing defects, potential problems, and the need for any repair or maintenance.
  • An assessment of the condition of the building’s fabric, including walls, roofs, floors, windows, and doors.
  • Inspection of all fixed services such as heating, plumbing, drainage, and electrics, although a separate specialist report may be recommended for detailed analysis.
  • Identification of any significant risks associated with the building, including any evidence of damp, timber decay, or structural movement.

Exploring North Eastern London: A Blend of Heritage and Modernity

The north-eastern region of The City is renowned for its eclectic architectural heritage, presenting a canvas that spans several centuries. Notable areas such as Shoreditch, Clerkenwell, and parts of Hackney showcase an array of buildings that articulate the evolution of urban construction techniques, materials, and aesthetic trends through time.

Architectural Diversity and Construction Techniques

From the technical perspective, this area hosts a variety of building styles ranging from Victorian and Georgian eras to contemporary modern edifices. A significant amount of the architecture in Shoreditch and Clerkenwell dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries, featuring predominantly brick masonry, which has stood the test of time due to its durability and ease of maintenance. The use of locally sourced yellow London stock bricks and the distinctive red bricks marks these periods, typifying the city’s historical architectural identity.

In terms of more recent developments, the latter half of the 20th century and early 21st century have seen the rise of glass and steel constructions, particularly in the commercial sectors. These materials cater to a modern aesthetic and functional demand, supporting designs that emphasize light, space, and energy efficiency. The introduction of curtain wall systems has been pivotal, allowing for the creation of the glass skyscrapers that are now synonymous with London’s financial districts.

Renovation and Preservation

In the realm of historical preservation, numerous redevelopment projects have transformationally incorporated old and new structures, ensuring that the historical value is not only preserved but also integrated into the functional needs of modern spaces. This adaptive reuse of buildings is particularly evident in the conversion of old warehouses and industrial spaces into loft apartments, offices, and retail spaces, balancing historic preservation with contemporary utility.

The Influence of Urban Planning

Urban planning policies have heavily influenced the architectural character of northeast London. The area's development has been strategically moderated to maintain a balance between new developmental thrusts and the preservation of character-defining landscapes and structures. This approach helps in sustaining the vibrant, dynamic community and the rich tapestry of urban life that defines this part of London.

Overall, the north-eastern sector of The City not only reflects a rich history embedded in its architecture but also a forward-looking approach in its modern constructions, making it a distinctive and attractive area for both residents and investors.

Drone Roof Survey

Establishing the condition of your roof is crucial for safeguarding your property against potential deterioration and prolonging its lifespan. As RICS Chartered Surveyors, we offer professional drone roof survey services that deliver an in-depth and precise evaluation of your roof’s condition, without the necessity for expensive access equipment. Drone roof surveys can be added to any other survey, including Level 3 Surveys.

Advantages of a Drone Roof Survey

Opting for a drone roof survey provides several benefits compared to traditional inspection methods:

  • Safety: Drones remove the need for scaffolding or ladders, thereby reducing the hazards associated with conventional roof inspections.
  • Efficiency: Our drones are capable of swiftly capturing high-resolution imagery and video, allowing for the comprehensive coverage of extensive areas in a significantly reduced timeframe.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: By lessening the need for extensive equipment and manpower, drone surveys are typically more economical, especially for larger or more intricate roof structures.
  • Accuracy: Drones can reach areas that are otherwise difficult to access, providing detailed data that enhances the precision of condition assessments.
