I have been working as a structural engineer in the UK since 2014. My first three years I spent designing mainly all the structural elements for care homes and student accommodation projects. I also have experience in designing cladding supports. Before I came to the UK I was working as a structural and civil engineer in Poland since 2006. I belong to ICE (Institution of Civil Engineers) as a graduate member and I am in the process of getting my chartership. Since 2019 I have done a few hundred structural surveys /reports (full and specific) and calculation packages for different structural elements (beams, columns, lintels, foundations - different types, retaining walls etc.)

Buying a home with a retaining wall? Watch this before your viewing.

Retaining walls are one of the most costly defects buyers miss. Here are 8 red flags I check for as a structural engineer, from bulging and leaning faces to screen blocks added on top that the wall was never designed to carry.

If you spot any of them, get the wall properly assessed before you commit.

As a Structural Engineer with over 220 inspections, Iโ€™ve seen first-time buyers walk away from priceable houses because of cosmetic cracks, only to buy "freshly renovated" ones that hide serious structural defects. Beauty isn't structure. Surface isn't substance.

I want you to be a calm, confident buyer who can separate the cosmetic from the catastrophic in minutes.

I am now giving away my "๐๐ž๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ ๐•๐ข๐ž๐ฐ" field guide for FREE. This short, action-focused booklet is the cheap, fast intervention you need.

It's not a full surveyโ€”itโ€™s a set of mental tools for the 30 minutes you have at the property. Read it the night before a viewing to learn:

Two myths I hear constantly.

Both have cost buyers a lot of money.

A building can look completely fine
for years while something serious
develops underneath.

And one focused viewing with the
right checklist catches more than
most buyers realise.

Auction properties can hide serious structural issues behind fresh paint and clever staging. Before you place a bid, know what to look for. Diagonal cracks, bowing walls, sagging rooflines, fresh patchwork and undocumented extensions are red flags that experienced buyers never ignore.

Do not let excitement cloud your judgment during a viewing. A few extra minutes of inspection could save you thousands in repairs.
