LOCAL KNOWLEDGE OF LONDON'S RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY

Based in East London, the company has particular experience of the diverse residential building stock found across North East London, including older properties and homes constructed before the 1950s.

Understanding traditional construction methods, property alterations, building maintenance and common defects is important when assessing the condition of older residential buildings.
