A structural inspection is normally only performed when a structural defect or issue is discovered or suspected. Generally as part of 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 identify the precise problem and advise on the possible methods to rectify. If there is a larger suspected issue or the building’s history is particularly poor, a general structural inspection may be carried out which will consist of an inspection of the entire structure and all load-bearing aspects of the building, alongside inspections of the surrounding site and any possible effects it might have, such as drainage issues or any trees near to the foundations of the property.
Structural surveys can be performed on an ad hoc basis on existing houses if you suspect any type of structural defect, such as 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 London Borough of Haringey is a London borough in North London, classified by some definitions as a part of Inner London, and by others as part of Outer London. It was created in 1965 by the amalgamation of 3 former boroughs. It shares borders with six other London boroughs. Clockwise from the north, they are: Enfield, Waltham Forest, Hackney, Islington, Camden, and Barnet. Haringey covers an area of more than 11 square miles (28.5 km2). The local authority is Haringey London Borough Council.
In line with population estimates from the middle of 2014, Haringey has a permanent population of around 267541 people. There are approximately 97101 homes in Haringey. Approximately 55 per cent of residents in Haringey reside in flats, apartments or maisonettes. The borough is characterised by some intense contrasts. Locations in the west, such as Highgate, Muswell Hill and Crouch End are among the most prosperous in the nation. Within the east of the borough, however, some wards are classified as being amongst the most deprived 10 per cent in the nation.
Haringey is also a borough of contrasts geographically. In the wooded high ground around Highgate and Muswell Hill, at 426.5 feet (130.0 m), the land falls sharply away to the flat, open low-lying land next to the River Lea in the east. A few of the more familiar local landmarks include Alexandra Palace, Bruce Castle, Jacksons Lane, Highpoint I and II, and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
