Surveying can come in a variety of forms. Many homeowners will experience a Home Buyer’s Survey as part of the process of selling or buying a home. The Home Buyer’s Survey is carried out to ensure the home buyer is completely conscious of the condition of the house they are buying, coupled with any likely issues around insulation, damp proofing or drainage. For older buildings or for properties where the buyer is less assured of its condition, a full building survey can be performed, which goes into more detail than a Home Buyer’s Survey, and will identify any further problems with the house as well as involving an inspection of the land surrounding the building.
Other types of survey include a land survey, which will involve an examination of the condition of the land. Surveyors can also undertake snagging reports, which are completed after a new build is finalised to point out any issues or defects with the quality of the building which may then be rectified.
When looking for a company to attempt surveying work, ensure you choose a chartered surveyor qualified by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.

Anerley is a district inside the south east of London inside the London Borough of Bromley. It is west of Bromley and it is 7 miles south south-east of Charing Cross. It is the former site of the Crystal Palace.
Anerley has never been its own independent entity, but just a general area. Prior to the closure and relocation of the Crystal Palace to Penge Place at the top of Sydenham Hill, Anerley was an empty part of Penge Common that didn’t develop until the 1800s. In 1827, a Scottish silk manufacturer, William Sanderson, purchased land around the former Penge Common, and built the first residence in the district. He named it ‘Anerly’, which is a Scottish word for ‘solitary’ or ‘only’, and also the road then became called Anerley Road as well as the vicinity.
There are plenty of transport links in Anerley, which includes 9 bus routes, two A roads, two rail stations and one London Overground station and aTram station at Birkbeck station. Transport for London had proposed the extension of Tramlink services from Harrington Road tram stop to the bus station on Crystal Palace Parade by means of Anerley Road, but Mayor Boris Johnson cancelled the £170m extension in November 2008.
Notable people that lived in Anerley consist of Thomas Crapper, who promoted the flush toilet, in his retirement; Walter de la Mare, well-known poet and author of ghost stories; and James Leavey, award winning Punch magazine columnist.
