Services
With the value of land, particularly in city centres, so high and the ensuing need to maximise developments, it is not surprising that disputes can occur, often over the smallest difference as to the exact position of a boundary.
In residential situations, disputes can occur over the position of hedges, open plan estates with restrictive covenants that prevent the erection of fences, or new neighbours with plans for extensions.
In order to establish the truth our surveyors will look at all deeds, covenants, plans and other documentation; then inspect the site, measure it as necessary, and also check on Land Registry Certification.

Our surveyors have many years' experience in the assessment of commercial buildings, having worked for a large number of London's largest property investor clients.
These instructions may be for institutional investors wishing to add a property to their portfolio, for purchasers of a freehold interest, or for potential tenants proposing to take a new lease on a full repairing basis.
Apart from a detailed site inspection, the work involves a study of construction drawings where available, investigations into the history of the site, and appointment and supervision of professional engineers to report on services.

The original firm of W.G. Edwards was established in 1947 and we have been surveying residential property ever since.
We will inspect all parts of a house or flat with a twelve-foot ladder, including a limited assessment of the age and condition of the service plant.
We can usually survey a property within one week of instruction.
We will report back verbally on the day of inspection and provide a written report within five working days.
Our reports include photographs and costs of repair.
If required we will attend a meeting to illustrate our findings and advise on savings in the purchase price.

We cannot overemphasise the importance of a properly prepared set of documents prior to obtaining prices and carrying out building work.
Whether your intention is to construct a new house or commercial building, to embark on a programme of repair or to alter the property you own, your interest is best protected by having a comprehensive set of drawings and a detailed specification.
Without these documents, upon which the contractor can provide an accurate price, you will be unable to properly control both the cost and the timescale of your project.

It is surprising how few tenants think about having a survey of a property carried out before they sign a lease.
The repairing covenants are likely to require a tenant to hand a property back to the landlord at the end of the lease in no worse repaired condition than when he took it.
Often the exact wording of the lease is significant.
The work 'keep' in a lease implies 'put' and this can represent the need for unexpected expenditure.
We record in detail the condition of a property and take photographs.
