Home surveys Cricklewood buyers and owners can rely on are available from IQSURV, a RICS regulated firm serving north-west London. We provide Level 2 Home Surveys, Level 3 Building Surveys and RICS valuations, so you can match the survey to the property.
Which of the home surveys Cricklewood properties need?
Homes around NW2 are commonly a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, inter-war houses and converted flats, so the age of the individual building matters more than the postcode. A Level 2 Home Survey reports on the visible condition of a conventional property, while a Level 3 Building Survey gives a deeper look at older, larger or altered buildings. Our guide to choosing between a Level 2 and a Level 3 survey explains the difference.
Cricklewood sits in the NW2 postcode area of north-west London, and it is where IQSURV has its office. If you are buying, selling or looking after a home here or nearby, we provide RICS Level 2 Home Surveys, Level 3 Building Surveys and RICS valuations as a RICS regulated firm.
Homes you are likely to come across
The NW2 area and its neighbours typically include a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, inter-war semi-detached houses and flats, including many converted houses and purpose-built blocks. Each type tends to bring its own questions. Older terraces may call for a closer look at roofs, chimneys, damp and past alterations. Inter-war homes may raise questions about extensions, windows and drainage. Flats raise points about the building as a whole, such as the structure, communal areas and the lease, which your solicitor will advise on.
Which survey suits your property?
A Level 2 Home Survey is a good fit for many conventional homes in reasonable condition. A Level 3 Building Survey goes into greater depth and is often chosen for older, larger or altered properties, or where you plan renovation work. If you are unsure, our guide on choosing between a Level 2 and a Level 3 survey explains the differences, and you are welcome to get in touch to talk it through.
Valuations in Cricklewood and NW2
We also prepare RICS valuations for a range of purposes, including market valuations, probate, capital gains tax, Help to Buy and shared ownership. A valuation from a RICS regulated firm is an independent, written opinion of value prepared to professional standards. We do not give tax or legal advice, so please speak to a solicitor, accountant or HMRC about how a valuation affects your own circumstances.
Who this page is for
Buyers who want to understand the condition of a property before they commit. Sellers and owners who need a clear view of value. Executors and families dealing with an estate. Landlords and investors who want an independent opinion before making decisions. Whatever your reason, the aim is a clear report written in plain English.
