Situated in Greater London, England, the extensive Middlesex village of Islington is a mostly residential district of Inner London. Its original name was given by the Saxons (Giseldone) in 1005 and mean's 'Gisla's Hill', Gisla is an Old English name which mutated to Isledon and eventually to the modern form that we recognise today around the 17th century.
The district’s streets are steeped in history boasting many beautiful listed buildings and numerous Georgian townhouses making it a cornucopia for period building surveyors. The area is a gold mine for historic building consultants who may prefer structures a little older with its streets emerging during the medieval period.
If you think your home or building falls within these parameters of age and historical relevance, then it may be crucial to have a country house property building survey or a farmhouse building surveying.
