A structural inspection is typically only carried out when a structural defect or issue is discovered or suspected. Often as part of the process of a Home Buyer’s Survey if any structural problems are suspected they’ll be noted for further investigation by an experienced structural engineer, who will be able to recognise the specific problem and suggest the likely options to fix. Where there is a larger suspected problem or the building’s history is especially poor, a general structural inspection may be carried out which will consist of an inspection of the whole structure and all load-bearing components of the building, together with inspections of the surrounding site and any potential effects it might have, such as drainage issues or any trees near to the foundations of the property.
Structural surveys can be undertaken on an ad hoc basis on existing properties if you suspect any sort of structural defect, for example cracking in walls, sagging of ceilings or roofs, or subsistence around the foundations of the building. When looking for a structural engineer, look for Chartered Surveyors who’ll be members of either the Institution of Structural Engineers or the Institution of Civil Engineers.

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is a London borough in south-east London, England. Taking its name from the historic town of Greenwich, the London Borough of Greenwich was formed in 1965 by the amalgamation of the former area of the Metropolitan Borough of Greenwich with part of the Metropolitan Borough of Woolwich to the east. The local council is Greenwich London Borough Council which meets in Woolwich Town Hall. The council’s offices are also primarily based in Woolwich, the principle urban centre in the borough. It covers a total area of 18.28 square miles.
In accordance with population estimates from the middle of 2014, the borough includes a permanent population of about 268678 inhabiants. Greenwich is most famously called the traditional location of the Prime Meridian, on which all Coordinated Universal Time is based.
Greenwich was one of six host boroughs for the 2012 London Olympics and events were held at the Royal Artillery Barracks for shooting, Greenwich Park for equestrianism, and also the O2, the former Millennium Dome, for gymnastics and basketball. It is also the home borough of professional football club Charlton Athletic. To mark the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II, Greenwich became a Royal Borough on 3rd February 2012. This is partly a direct result of its historic links with the Royal Family, and to its UNESCO World Heritage Site status as home of the Prime Meridian.
