Adams Chartered Surveyors

Protecting Your Investment Across North and North West London

We aren't just surveyors; we are your local eyes and ears on the ground. Whether you are buying a Victorian terrace in Muswell Hill, a conversion in Crouch End, or a commercial unit in the City, we provide the technical clarity you need to move forward with confidence.

As an established firm regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and members of the Surveyors Ombudsman Service, we combine professional rigour with deep local knowledge. We understand the specific structural challenges of London’s diverse housing stock, from the shrinkable clay soils of North London to the complexities of high-density party wall negotiations.

Why Homeowners and Investors Trust Our Expertise

We believe a survey should do more than just list defects—it should provide a roadmap for your investment. Our team, led by experienced professionals like Peter Tasker, specialises in identifying issues that others might miss, such as progressive structural movement or the long-term risks of tree root action on shrinkable clay.

"We see the property market turning into a buyer’s market. In this climate, independent valuation and structural advice are not just optional—they are essential for successful renegotiation."

Specialist Support for Managing Agents and Commercial Tenants

Our dedicated commercial department specialises in the acquisition of shops, offices, factories, and even public houses. We help tenants understand their repairing obligations before signing a lease and act for landlords on terminal schedules of dilapidation.

For Managing Agents, we provide a comprehensive suite of services to keep your blocks running safely and legally:

• Specifications for pre-decoration repairs and painting
• Asbestos registers and emergency lighting compliance
• Project coordination for common parts and grounds
• Expert witness reports for disputes and litigation
