We carry out residential structural surveys and commercial surveys in Potters Bar. Potters Bar is a town located in Hertfordshire with central London being only about 18 miles away making Potters Bar well within commuting distance of London. Potters Bar is surrounded by countryside and close by is South Mimms which is a smaller rural town.

It is thought that Potters Bar gets its name from a Roman Pottery which is said to have been located in the area in the Roman era.

The town itself dates back to the 1200s and did not change much until the railways were built and a station opened in Potters Bar in 1850, heralding the growth of the town, as more people came to the area and more properties were built to accommodate them.

Potters Bar continued to grow in the 1930s which meant more expansion and again after World War II the town needed to accommodate businesses moving to the area as well as more people moving iwhich led to a couple of council estates being built in Potters Bar.

To support the increase in population the town has seen the development of two shopping areas, one on the High Street and one on Darkes Lane. Infrastructure has also had to increased and rail and road links have been developed in the area over the years.

Our surveys in the Potters Bar area contain an Executive Summary, which has a sections entitled 'The Good', 'The Bad' and 'The Ugly' which helps you to 'see the wood for the trees', so to speak. We report not only on the 'Bad' issues but we also consider the 'Good' points that the property has to offer and 'the Ugly' section draws your attention specifically to issues that need to be resolved before you purchase or lease the property.
