Local property character
Understanding the properties around Bromley
A large share of Bromley's homes are twentieth-century suburban houses like these on Cheriton Avenue: brick-built, conventional in layout and often extended at the side or rear.
For that kind of house in fair condition, a Level 2 HomeBuyer Survey is usually the right level. The picture changes for Victorian houses near the town centre, and for any home where the extension or loft conversion is a big part of what you are paying for.
Bromley and nearby areas we cover
Schematic, not to scale.
01
Property types
Victorian terraces near the town centre, larger period houses in areas such as Shortlands, and extensive interwar and postwar suburban streets.
02
Local character
The borough has 47 conservation areas. In June 2025 the council adopted new appraisals and management plans, including for Bromley Town Centre and Shortlands Village.
03
Survey considerations
Look at what has been added. A side extension with a flat roof, a converted loft or a removed chimney breast are all worth pointing out to the surveyor, and may be the reason to step up to Level 3.

Local context
What a Bromley buyer should know before choosing a Level 2 survey
The London Borough of Bromley has 47 conservation areas, each designated for its architectural or historic interest. In June 2025 the council adopted new appraisals and management plans for several of them, including Bromley Town Centre and Shortlands Village. If the home you are buying sits in one of these areas, the character of the street is protected and some external changes need consent.
For a HomeBuyer Survey, what matters most is whether the property is conventional in construction and condition. A standard brick-built house or flat in fair repair is usually well suited to Level 2. Where a home has large extensions, loft conversions or visible structural movement, a Level 3 Building Survey or advice from a structural engineer gives you more detail before you commit.
Consider stepping up from Level 2 if the property has
- significant extensions or a loft conversion you want assessed in more depth
- cracking or distortion that suggests movement
- a flat roof or roof covering near the end of its life
- period construction with little modernisation
