Peter Barry Surveyors

Based at our offices in Kensington, our team of RICS regulated surveyors can arrange a survey or provide party wall advice on homes in the Central London area.

Whether you’re buying a mews property, a flat over a shop or a stylish apartment in one of Central London’s high rise blocks we have the necessary experience and expertise to assist. We undertake Valuations, RICS Homebuyer Reports and Building Surveys or can prepare a bespoke report to address a specific concern.

Preparing party wall notices and agreeing party wall awards is a particular area of expertise.

If you’re planning to extend or alter your property we can review the plans, identify the relevant adjoining owners and prepare the necessary party wall notices. Where a ‘dispute’ arises we will act on your behalf and agree an Award to allow the work to progress.

Conversely, if you have been served notice by your neighbour and choose to dissent, one of our Chartered Surveyors will put an Award in place that ensures the works progress with the minimum degree of risk and without unnecessary inconvenience.

London’s Central Area

Based at our offices in Kensington, our team of RICS regulated surveyors can arrange a survey or provide party wall advice on homes in the Central London area.

Imagine stepping out of your front door and having a choice of literally hundreds of bars and restaurants all within walking distance; just one of the luxuries of living in Central London. Add in some of the world’s most famous tourist attractions and the West End’s theatres and you’ll never be stuck for something to do.

There’s obviously some extremely expensive real estate available for those with an unlimited budget but some parts of Central London remain surprisingly affordable considering the location; there are still 1 bedroom flats to be had for under £500,000.

‘Central London’ is not specifically defined but is generally thought to extend from Marble Arch in the west across to Aldgate in the east and from Kings Cross down to Vauxhall. Some of the more residential parts are to the south of the City in areas like Southwark, Pimlico, Borough, South Bank and Shad Thames.

Fantastic transport links are a given when you live in the centre of a big developed city and London is particularly well served. All 12 tube lines and the Docklands Light Railway pass through Central London so you’re never more than a few minutes’ walk from a station. Add 9 mainline stations into the mix and the south-east of the country, and even Paris and Brussels for the more adventurous, really are all within easy reach.

If you’ve decided that Central London is the place to live and found the perfect property to buy, our team of Chartered Surveyors will be happy to help you with that important next step. If you would like further information on any of the above services do not hesitate to contact us on 020 7183 2578, by email or pop in to see us at 58-60 Kensington Church Street, Kensington, London W8 4DB.
