Surveying comes in a number of forms. Many homeowners will experience a Home Buyer’s Survey included in the procedure of buying or selling a house. The Home Buyer’s Survey is performed to ensure the home buyer is totally informed of the condition of the home they are buying, coupled with any potential concerns around insulation, damp proofing or drainage. For older properties or for properties where the buyer is less confident of its condition, a full building survey can be accomplished, which goes into more detail when compared to a Home Buyer’s Survey, and will point out any additional issues with the property as well as including an evaluation of the land surrounding the building.
Other types of survey include a land survey, which will carry out an evaluation of the condition of the land. Surveyors can also carry out snagging reports, which are executed after a new build is finalised to highlight any issues or defects with the quality of the building which can then be rectified.
When searching for a company to attempt surveying work, ensure you choose a chartered surveyor qualified by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.

Bellingham is an area in south east London, in the London Borough of Lewisham. Its neighbouring districts are Catford, Sydenham and Downham. The Ravensbourne River runs through the middle of Bellingham, also to the west and east it is bordered by railway lines working south from Catford.
The true name Bellingham means âthe water-meadow belonging to Beora’s people’, and was the true name of the medieval manor in the area. The true name was preserved by the farm in the area, Bellingham Railway Station and the Bellingham Estate. Other historical names have already been preserved by the road titles of the estate, which are connected with King Alfred, who was thought to have been the lord of the manor of Lewisham, and were taken from the true names of mills, houses and fields in the certain area.
Bellingham was farmland before Bellingham Estate was built, mostly between 1920 and 1923. London City Council built about 2600 houses and flats during this time. Bellingham Estate was among the many large estates built by London City Council following the First World War to aid with slum clearance and relieve overcrowding. As there was lots of land available the majority of the dwellings constructed were two-story houses, and there was lots of green, open space.
Today, Bellingham is a localised city centre. Its traditional is Randlesdown Road, which includes a supermarket, a gym, hairdressers and multiple restaurants and food outlets. It also has a sixth form college, and a church and a library. Bellingham boasts many famous former and present residents, like the singer/song-writer Kate Bush, the previous Labour Prime Minister James Callaghan, and the footballer Ian Wright.
