Surveyors in Lewisham: Homeowners vs renters

If you’re a homeowner:

You’re responsible for organising and paying for surveys like a full house survey, structural inspection, or an EPC. If you’re building or extending, you may need a party wall surveyor. Some mortgage lenders will also require specific surveys as part of the process.

If you rent your home:

Your landlord is usually responsible for arranging surveys or fixing issues, such as damp or structural concerns. That said, you can still contact a damp surveyor or building surveyor in Lewisham for advice, especially if you need independent evidence to report problems.
