We carry out residential structural survey and commercial survey in Harlow. Harlow is a town which is situated in Essex.
Harlow along with Basildon, Stevenage and Hemel Hempstead was designated a new town in 1947 when a master plan for the town was created to provide housing for around 60,000 people, this was in order to help with overcrowding in London. Development was also planned to provide employment in the 1950's in the form of Templefields and then Pinnacles. Harlow still has an above percentage of the working population employed today. Much associated development took place over the years to accommodate the increased population including shops, schools and a new hospital. Of course Old Harlow was already established for many centuries and has retained its village feel with its many attractive listed buildings. We have carried out several surveys in Harlow on listed buildings as well as modern buildings. Roydon and Old Harlow are locally known as the more exclusive parts of the area.
If you are moving home within Harlow we would recommend that you have a building survey, sometimes known as a residential survey carried out to ensure that you are aware of any defects that the property has which could potentially cost you money to solve.

If you are planning to book a building survey on a property you are purchasing in Harlow or the surrounding area then we would like to assure you that we always send a suitably qualified and experienced surveyor to carry out the job. This ensures that you get expert advice on any issues that we may find with the property we are surveying. All our surveyors are members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors - RICS - and are Independent Building Surveyors. Being 'independent' means that they are working for you and you alone; they do not work for a mortgage company or an estate agents, so they have your best interests at heart.
All our survey contain lots of images, clearly showing any problems that we have identified at the property such as woodworm, rising damp or cracking to the walls. We also use sketches in our survey which are aimed at helping you to understand how certain areas are constructed or to help show more clearly a problem that we have identified. You will also find lots of definitions of any building terminology that we may use in our survey, as we firmly believe in 'Plain English' and really want you to fully understand what we are saying in the survey report.
