A structural inspection is commonly only carried out when a structural defect or problem is recognised or suspected. Usually during the process of a Home Buyer’s Survey if any structural problems are suspected they’ll be documented for additional investigation by an experienced structural engineer, who will be able to determine the specific problem and advise on the possible techniques to fix. Where there is a larger suspected issue or the building’s history is especially poor, a general structural inspection may be performed which will involve an inspection of the complete structure and all load-bearing areas of the building, alongside inspections of the surrounding site and any possible influences it might have, such as drainage issues or any trees close to the foundations of the property.
Any structural inspection will suggest the likely extent of any repair work that is required to correct the issue. When looking for a structural engineer, look for Chartered Surveyors who will be members of either the Institution of Structural Engineers or the Institution of Civil Engineers.

Fulham is a district in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in southwest London. It is 3.7 miles south-west from Charing Cross, which makes it an Inner London district. It’s on the north bank of the River Thames, between Hammersmith and Kensington and Chelsea, facing Putney and Barnes. Formerly, it was a parish in the county of Middlesex. It is identified in the London Plan as on the list of 35 major centres in Greater London.
Fulham’s history of industrial enterprise goes back to the 15th century, with its Mill at Millshot on the south side of what’s now Fulham Palace Road. There was also a pottery, tapestry-weaving, paper-making and brewing industry in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the area of what is now called Fulham High Street. The next 2 centuries had been identified for power production, transportation, the automotive industry, food production and laundries.
For the first part of the 20th century, Fulham remained mainly working class with pockets of wealth in the North End, along the top of Lillie Road and New King’s Road. Especially wealthy regions were Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common, South Park as well as the area around the Hurlingham Club. The area attracted waves of immigration, and fast changes meant that there was poverty – Charles Dickens and Charles Booth noted this, and there were poorhouses that attracted benefactors.
Today, Fulham is rated among the most expensive parts of London and the UK overall. The average sale price of all property in 2007 was £639,973 – and is most likely to be much more now.
