About Richard Birchall Associates

Your Partners in Prime Central London Property Since 1974

Based in the heart of Kensington, we have spent half a century advising clients on the purchase, occupation, and maintenance of some of London’s most prestigious real estate. Whether you are a homeowner, a solicitor, or a financial institution, we provide independent advice free from the ties of agencies or financial services.

Our philosophy is simple: We Survey, Value, and Repair. By focusing on these three pillars, we ensure your property interests are protected from the initial acquisition through to long-term maintenance and complex structural repairs.

A Multi-Disciplinary Approach

We believe that complex property issues require a breadth of expertise. Our team is not just a group of surveyors; we are a collaborative practice consisting of a principal and four associates, including:

  • Chartered Building Surveyors for technical analysis and defect reporting.
  • Registered Valuers for accurate market and insurance appraisals.
  • Structural Engineers to assess the integrity of historic and modern frames.
  • Quantity Surveyors to provide rigorous cost control and monitoring.

This diverse skill set allows us to handle everything from a standard condition report to the design and implementation of major residential refurbishments.

Specialists in Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas

Navigating the complexities of London’s historic architecture requires a nuanced touch. We specialise in the repair, maintenance, and conservation of listed buildings and properties of significant architectural interest.

From obtaining Listed Building Consent to negotiating Party Wall Awards, we manage the technical and legal hurdles that come with heritage assets. We also assist with Landlord’s Consent for alterations and boundary negotiations, ensuring every detail of your property rights is secured.

Beyond the Survey: Ongoing Support

Our relationship with our clients often extends far beyond a single report. We act as client agents for commercial development monitoring, handle dilapidations for landlords and tenants, and provide expert witness testimony for construction disputes.

We invest heavily in technology to ensure our CAD drawings and technical reports are delivered with precision and speed, maintaining a competitive fee level without compromising on the depth of our professional knowledge.
