Founded by Faheem Anwar, a former aerospace engineer for NASA, FA Surveyors brings safety-critical precision to property inspections. We specialise in bespoke Level 3 Building Surveys and Party Wall matters, providing the clear, impartial advice you need for your next investment.
From Aerospace Engineering to Safety-Critical Property Advice
We founded FA Surveyors in 2017 with a unique perspective. Our founder, Faheem Anwar, spent 20 years as a software engineer designing safety-critical flight control systems for the likes of NASA and ESA. When we say we have an eye for detail, we mean it—there is literally code written by our founder sitting on the surface of Titan.
In 2004, we brought that same "failure is not an option" mindset to the property industry. After graduating with an MSc in Building Surveying and honing our skills at a renowned South East practice, we established FA Surveyors to provide the clear, impartial, and incredibly thorough advice that homeowners deserve.
Bespoke Level 3 Reports That Go Beyond the Standard
We believe your survey should be as unique as your property. While many firms use generic templates, our Level 3 Building Surveys (often called Structural Surveys) use a bespoke format we’ve refined over decades.
- Deep Analysis: We don't just list defects; we explain the likely causes and provide practical remedies.
- Hidden Flaws: We consider potential issues caused by hidden flaws, not just visible damage.
- Tailored Advice: Specifically recommended for pre-1950s homes or significantly altered properties.
Why Homeowners and Investors Trust Our Approach
Whether you are buying a modern apartment or a complex period property, we provide a level of detail that we believe is unmatched by the average firm. We offer a range of inspections to suit every stage of property ownership:
- Level 2 Surveys: Ideal for modern homes, using a clear traffic-light system to highlight urgent repairs.
- Defect Analysis: Targeted investigations when you need to understand a specific building failure.
- Snagging Inspections: Ensuring your new-build home meets the standards you were promised.
- Schedules of Condition: Protecting your interests before a lease or construction work begins.
"Our core aim is to achieve consistently good results for our clients through professional pride and a personal service tailored to your specific needs."
