Hi Alice We had a good look around for recommendations and came across a local firm (Haywater Surveyors) in Camberwell. They did a building survey of a house that was a probate sale in West Dulwich and found a number of significant structural problems. We found another house over the road that was also in our price range although it also had a few structural issues. They were able to quickly give us the low down and we managed to get the house at a reasonable price. I would thoroughly recommend them... 0845 056 8414. Good luck Ricky
