Specialist Qualified Chartered Surveyors, and expert Hackney Home Buyers Surveys

"There are about 3150000 residential properties in Greater London. Properties vary from new builds to older structures. However, expertise with local home building practices is only a fraction of the survey process, as there are a wide range of additional problems which must be taken into account.

Fridaysmove have undertaken Home Buyers Surveys in many parts of East London, particularly in Hackney including Home Buyers Surveys in E8. When thinking of buying a residence in Hackney, it is highly recommended that all buyers carry out a House Survey to avoid unpredictable maintenance costs ."

Some of the [issues] found while Home Buyers Surveys are carried out are:

Hackney Cellar and Basement Moisture Problems

The basements or cellars of properties in and around Hackney risk problems associated with damp. Wet foundations and damp basements are a common factor putting these homes at risk.Chartered Surveyors in Hackney will seek to identify:

  • Water stains along walls or floor
  • Musty odour or damp smell
  • Mould
  • Efflorescence
  • Spalling
The Surveyor in Hackney will establish the cause of the damp, which may include ground water, overflowing or insufficient guttering, or detached downspouts.

Parapets on property in Hackney

These walls are usually above the roof line and often sit on the boundary of the property. The parapets are portions of the wall that extend above the roof. Parapet walls were intended to perform as firewalls, preventing flames spreading across rooftops.

Buildings in Hackney may suffer leaks as a result of parapets which have been poorly maintained. Leaking roofs are often down to the parapet wall, rather than the roof itself.Issues including cracking, flaking, and displacement will be identified by a Residential Surveyor during the Building Survey (Full Structural Survey) or HomeBuyer Report in Hackney.The Residential Surveyor in Hackney will recommend that a PVC flashing 'membrane' should be installed if not present.

We cover all areas of Hackney, offering surveys in E8.
