Surveying can come in various forms. Most homeowners will come across a Home Buyer’s Survey included in the procedure of buying or selling a home. The Home Buyer’s Survey is performed to guarantee the home buyer is completely aware of the condition of the property they are buying, as well as any probable problems around insulation, damp proofing or drainage. For older properties or for buildings where the buyer is less certain of its condition, a full building survey can be executed, which goes into more detail when compared to a Home Buyer’s Survey, and will highlight any additional problems with the house as well as involving an examination of the land surrounding the building.
Surveyors can also assist with any extensions, conversions or alterations that you would like to have done on your existing property. They can provide advice about how your conversion might have an effect on your neighbours, either in terms of their right to light or by requiring a party wall agreement.
When looking for a company to attempt surveying work, ensure you choose a chartered surveyor qualified by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.

The London Borough of Hackney is a north east London Borough inside Inner London in the UK. Southern and eastern parts of the borough are popularly, but unofficially, regarded as being part of east London, with northern and western locations deemed to belong to north London. The London Plan, issued by the Greater London Authority, assigns entire boroughs to sub-regions for statutory monitoring, engagement and resource allocation purposes. The latest 2011 iteration of this program assigns Hackney to the ‘East’ sub-region, even though the 2008 and 2004 versions assigned the borough to ‘North’ and ‘East’ sub-regions respectively.
Hackney is bounded by Islington towards the west, Haringey towards the north, Waltham Forest towards the north-east, Newham to the east, Tower Hamlets to the south-east plus the City of London to the south-west. It covers a total area of 7.36 square miles. In line with population estimates from 2014, the borough features a permanent population of about 263150 individuals. Much of Hackney retains an inner-city character, but in such locations as Dalston big housing estates have been joined by newly developed gated communities. The historical and administrative heart of Hackney is the area roughly extending north from Mare Street and around the Church of St John-at-Hackney; called Hackney Central.
To the north of the borough are Upper Clapton and Lower Clapton, Stamford Hill and Stoke Newington. Light industries within the area around the River Lea employ over 3000 personnel. Some of the area was used for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
