Peter Barry Surveyors

Four Decades of London Property Expertise

Since our founding in 1983, we have evolved from a boutique North London firm into one of the capital’s most respected independent practices. Led by Director Justin Burns since 2000, our team of over 20 professionals combines traditional surveying values with a modern, efficient approach. We don't just provide reports; we provide the peace of mind necessary for your most significant investments.

Why Homeowners and Buyers Choose Us

We know that buying a home is likely the biggest investment you’ll ever make. Relying on a 20-minute lender’s valuation is a risk you don't need to take. We provide the deep-dive insights you need to negotiate with confidence or walk away from a bad deal.

"Our mission is to provide a personable service with advice tailored specifically to your project, helping you make the best decisions for your property."

Specialists in the RICS Level 3 'Full Structural' Survey

While we offer the standard RICS Level 2 reports, we are particularly known for our RICS Level 3 Home Surveys. These are essential for London’s older housing stock, period conversions, and properties in poor condition. We examine the structure and services in detail, giving you a clear roadmap of necessary repairs and potential costs.

Expert Party Wall Advice for Building and Adjoining Owners

Navigating The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 can be a minefield. Whether you are planning an extension in Harrow or have received a notice from a neighbour in Kensington, we act as your dedicated advocates. We handle everything from serving initial notices to preparing final Awards, ensuring works proceed with minimal risk and maximum compliance.

Beyond the Survey: Leaseholds and Project Management

Our expertise extends into the complex world of the Leasehold Reform Act. We regularly assist clients with the following:

• Leasehold Valuations: Expert reports for lease extensions and freehold purchases.
• Negotiations: We act on your behalf with freeholders, landlords, or agents.
• Project Management: Bespoke services for design, planning, and overseeing construction.
• Professional Consents: Expert assistance with Licenses to Alter and schedules of works.

Whether you are a first-time buyer in Enfield or a seasoned investor in Hendon, we bring local knowledge and RICS-regulated precision to every instruction. We are proud to be London's most-reviewed surveying firm, a testament to our commitment to clarity and client care.
