Scott Davidson

Since 1980, we have been at the heart of the London property market. Originally founded by Scott Davidson and later merging with HIP London in 2011, our firm has grown into one of the capital’s most trusted names for residential and commercial surveying.

We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you are investing in a multi-million pound mansion or a compact city flat, we provide the same level of meticulous detail and rapid turnaround that our reputation is built upon.

Four Decades of Central London Expertise

Our deep roots in London mean we understand the unique challenges of the local architecture. From 100-year-old period conversions to modern commercial spaces, we have seen it all. We are proud members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), ensuring that every report we produce meets the highest professional standards.

Our clients—ranging from individual homeowners to leading London solicitors—choose us because we are clear, concise, and thorough. We know that property transactions move fast, which is why we prioritise an exceptionally responsive service to keep your purchase on track.

Why We Focus on Bespoke Building Surveys

While many firms offer basic condition reports, we specialise in the RICS Level 3 Building Survey. This is a bespoke, tailored service designed to give you a complete picture of your investment.

We dive deep into the fabric of the building to identify:

• Structural movement or settlement
• Issues with roofs, walls, floors, and partitions
• Damp, wet rot, dry rot, and woodworm
• Condition of services including boilers and electrical installations

This level of detail is essential for older properties or buildings that have been extensively altered. We provide technical construction information and photographs so you can see exactly what we see.

Navigating the Party Wall Act with Ease

If you are planning works or your neighbour has served notice, you need an expert in your corner. We are widely regarded as specialists in Party Wall Surveys. We handle everything from serving notices to preparing a Schedule of Condition and reaching a Party Wall Award.
