Surveying comes in many different forms. Most homeowners will encounter a Home Buyer’s Survey included in the process of selling or buying a property. The Home Buyer’s Survey is completed to ensure the home buyer is fully informed of the condition of the home they are buying, along with any potential concerns around insulation, damp proofing or drainage. For older properties or for buildings where the buyer is less assured of its condition, a full building survey can be carried out, which goes into more detail when compared to a Home Buyer’s Survey, and will highlight any further defects with the property as well as including an examination of the land surrounding the building.
Other types of survey include a land survey, which will involve an evaluation of the condition of the land. Surveyors can also carry out snagging reports, which are completed after a new build is completed to highlight any concerns or defects with the quality of the property which may then be rectified.
When looking for a company to attempt surveying work, make sure you choose a chartered surveyor qualified by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.

Fulham is a district in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in southwest London. It’s 3.7 miles south-west from Charing Cross, which makes it an Inner London district. It is on the north bank of the River Thames, in between Hammersmith and Kensington and Chelsea, facing Putney and Barnes. Formerly, it had been a parish within the county of Middlesex. It’s identified in the London Plan as one of the 35 major centres in Greater London.
Fulham’s reputation of industrial enterprise goes back to the 15th century, with its Mill at Millshot on the south side of what is now Fulham Palace Road. There was also a pottery, tapestry-weaving, paper-making and brewing industry in the seventeenth and 18th centuries in the location of what is now known as Fulham High Street. The subsequent two centuries had been known for power production, transportation, the automotive industry, food production and laundries.
For the first half of the 20th century, Fulham remained primarily working class with pockets of wealth at the North End, along the top of Lillie Road and New King’s Road. Particularly rich areas were Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common, South Park plus the area around the Hurlingham Club. The area attracted waves of immigration, and quick changes meant that there was poverty – Charles Dickens and Charles Booth noted this, and there were poorhouses that attracted benefactors.
Currently, Fulham is rated as one of the most expensive parts of London and also the UK overall. The average sale price of all property in 2007 was £639,973 – and is likely to be a lot more now.
