This retaining wall is already showing signs of movement — and it could become a costly issue if left unaddressed.

The visible lean is being caused by a lack of drainage behind the wall. Without weep holes, water builds up and creates pressure, which pushes the wall forward over time.

At this stage, the wall hasn’t fully failed and could potentially be stabilised with lateral restraint. However, if the movement continues and rebuilding is required, costs could be in the region of £15,000.

This is exactly the type of issue that isn’t always obvious during a viewing — but can have significant cost implications for buyers.

A professional survey helps identify risks like this early, giving you clarity before committing to a purchase.

During this inspection in Walthamstow, the combi boiler activated correctly when running hot water, but failed to respond when the heating was switched on.

This typically indicates a faulty diverter valve — a key component responsible for directing hot water between the taps and the central heating system.

Issues like this can affect system performance and require repair or part replacement depending on the boiler.

This roof looks fine at first glance… but it’s already showing signs of failure.

Heavy moss growth isn’t just cosmetic — it’s often a sign that the tiles are becoming porous. Over time, moisture gets trapped, freezes, and causes cracking.

That’s when leaks start.

In this case, the roof likely has around 5–10 years remaining, with a potential replacement cost of £12,500.

This is exactly why a professional survey matters — identifying issues early can save you thousands and help you make the right decision before committing.

🎯 Vintage detail hiding in plain sight! 🏚️

This mid-century “Sugg Halcyon Air Heater” was once cutting-edge tech in British homes – now it’s a rare glimpse into 1950s–60s property history.

Often found in homes like Park Court, London E17, these gas heaters were common post-war appliances, made by William Sugg & Co. Ltd. While iconic in design, they’re outdated and non-compliant by today’s safety and efficiency standards.

Thinking of buying or renovating? Spotting these can help you understand the age and upgrade needs of a property.
