A structural report is the most thorough form of property inspection available. Conducted by a qualified structural engineer, it examines the physical condition and structural integrity of the building from foundations to roof, identifying defects, assessing their severity, and providing clear recommendations for remedial work.
One price, one report, whatever your concern. Whether you are worried about cracks, movement, or subsidence; buying a property; satisfying a lender or insurer; or simply want expert assurance, it is all the same report. When you book, tell us what you would like the engineer to pay particular attention to, and we will make sure that is covered in detail. The rest of the property is surveyed regardless.
A structural engineer's report investigates concealed areas where accessible, analyses the causes and implications of any defects found, and provides technical evidence for informed decision-making. It covers load-bearing walls, foundation movement, roof structure, damp penetration, timber decay, drainage, and overall building stability.
For London properties, many of which are Victorian or Edwardian terraces that have been extended, converted, or altered over more than a century, a structural report is particularly valuable. It gives buyers, owners, and their legal teams the detailed technical evidence needed to proceed with confidence.
Our reports are produced by qualified structural engineers and focus on the structural integrity of the building. Your report is written in clear, jargon-free language and delivered digitally within 48 hours of the site visit.

020 8004 9060Our Structural Report is a single fixed-price product that covers every situation where you’d previously have commissioned a specialist report. Tell us at booking what prompted it — the engineer always surveys the whole property, but pays explicit attention to your concerns in the written report.
Also known as: crack report, movement assessment, wall cracking inspection
Active or historic cracking, bulging walls, sloping floors. The engineer establishes cause, categorises severity (cosmetic vs structural), and specifies any remedial work. Photographic evidence suitable for insurers and solicitors.
Also known as: subsidence investigation, foundation movement, heave report
Ground movement, foundation settlement, or heave — often linked to clay soils, nearby trees, or old drainage. Insurance-grade investigation and findings, with recommendations for monitoring, underpinning, or further specialist work where warranted.
Also known as: defect investigation, disrepair report, structural defects
Targeted investigation of a specific defect — timber decay, failed lintels, poor previous alterations. Diagnoses the cause, rates severity, and recommends proportionate repair.
Also known as: buyer's structural report, pre-exchange inspection
Before you exchange on a property — especially Victorian or Edwardian London stock — a structural inspection gives you the technical evidence to negotiate with confidence or walk away with clarity.
Also known as: lender's structural report, mortgage condition report
Satisfies the specific wording a lender has asked for in writing. If your offer requires a structural engineer's opinion, our report is produced to the standard UK lenders accept.
Also known as: insurance claim report, insurer's structural report
Supports or substantiates an insurance claim — typically for subsidence, movement, or escape-of-water related damage. Clear cause-and-effect narrative with photographs suitable for assessors.
Every one of the above is produced by a qualified structural engineer as a written Structural Report at £750 fixed. If a lender, insurer, or regulator has asked for a Chartered Engineer (CEng / MIStructE) specifically, you can upgrade at booking and the price becomes £1,200 all-in.
The engineer always assesses the whole property, but you tell us at booking what concerns prompted the report: cracks, subsidence, pre-purchase, lender requirement, and so on. Those concerns get particular attention and explicit coverage in the report. You do not have to pick a specialist product. One structural report covers every scenario.
Foundations, walls (load-bearing and non-load-bearing), roof structure, floors, drainage, timber defects, damp, and overall building stability. Each issue is described with its cause, severity, and recommended remedial action. Anything you flag as a concern at booking also gets specific coverage.
The on-site inspection typically takes 3 to 5 hours depending on the size and complexity of the property. Larger or more complex buildings may take longer. Our engineer will let you know approximately how long to expect at the time of booking.
You don't have to be there personally, but someone must be present to grant access. This is typically the estate agent, vendor, or a representative. We recommend attending if you can, as the engineer can answer questions on-site.
Your report is delivered as a PDF to your email inbox within 48 hours of the site visit being completed. You can also download it any time from your booking portal.
Follow-up questions are included at no extra cost. Simply reply to your report email or call us directly, and our engineer will clarify anything unclear.
Yes. Tick "Chartered engineer required" at booking and the price becomes £1,200 all-in (replaces the £750 base, not added on top). Chartered engineers are only strictly required when a lender, insurer, or regulator has asked for one in writing. Most clients don't need it.
