GARIB PROPERTY LIMITED Hayes, West London
The whole house, from the kerb to the back wall
Every house this company buys is bought on foot. The walk starts at the kerb with the roofline, goes up the path, through the front door, and does not stop until it reaches the back wall of the garden. This page is that walk, written out in the order it happens.
GARIB PROPERTY LIMITED buys residential property in and around Hayes with its own money, puts right what the walk found, and sells it on. It was incorporated on 1 September 2026, so there is no trading history here and none is claimed. What a company can show honestly on its first day is its method.
Method only. Nothing here is an offer, a price, or an opinion on what a house is worth.
01
On the doorstep, before anyone opens the door
The doorstep is the right moment to say plainly what you are dealing with. GARIB PROPERTY LIMITED buys and sells its own houses — SIC 68100, buying and selling of own real estate. When this company shows somebody round a house it is because the house is already owned or is being bought: no seller instructs us, no buyer pays us, and no commission waits at the end.
That has consequences worth knowing before you walk further. This is not an estate agency and does not market other people's property; not a letting agency and does not manage tenancies; not a broker, intermediary or financial adviser, and it holds no professional or regulatory membership. Nothing written here is advice about a sale or a purchase of your own. The only interest this company holds in a house is the one it signs for itself.
02
In the hall: the first ninety seconds
The hall decides how long the rest of the walk takes. Before anything is touched, three things are read from the mat: where the internal floor level sits against the path outside, whether the bottom half-metre of plaster is a different colour from the rest of the wall, and how far daylight reaches down the passage with the doors shut.
After that, the dull things, in a fixed order. The meter cupboard, because it says what the heating is and whether the consumer unit has been touched this decade. The staircase, because flex in a tread is cheap and flex in the string carrying the treads is not. The smell, because rising damp, a dry waste trap and an old carpet smell quite different and only one is a building problem.
Nothing is decided in the hall. It only sets how sceptical the rest of the house has to make us.
03
Room by room, in the order the house was built to be used
From the hall the walk goes the way the house works: reception room, kitchen, the service rooms behind it, then up to the landing. Each room gets the same few minutes and the same six questions, which is why the questions are written out where anyone can read them.
- Floor and ceiling Levels, bounce underfoot, cracks that run straight rather than wander.
- Light Which way the room faces, how high the cill sits, what the window opens onto.
- Water Under every sink, around the bath, behind the machine, along the base of each external wall.
- Heat Radiator sizes against room sizes, and whether a room has been added that the boiler never heard about.
- Openings Whether a knocked-through doorway has anything above it doing a lintel's work.
- Services Sockets, the stopcock, the loft hatch, and whatever sits above the hatch in the dark.
None of this is a survey and is not written up as one. A surveyor or a structural engineer sees what a walk cannot, and on anything load-bearing their drawing counts, not ours.
04
The measuring walk: a tape, two numbers, one room at a time
The last thing done inside a house is the tape. Rooms are measured in metres at skirting height, long side first, and the two numbers are multiplied. Doing that room by room gives a figure for the walk as a whole rather than for one favourite room.
Type the length and the width of each room you are standing in and its area appears beside it. The arithmetic is in the open: length times width, rounded to two decimal places; the square-foot column is that figure multiplied by 10.7639; the walk total is the room areas added together. The tape is yours and so are the metres, and a room that is not a rectangle should be measured as two rooms and added.

Arithmetic on two numbers you typed yourself. The tool does not check them, does not keep them, and attaches no opinion about what a floor area is worth.

Out of the back door, down to the back wall
The back door is where a Hayes house tells the truth about itself. From the middle of the garden the rear elevation can be seen whole: the gutter line, whether the extension roof falls the way water wants to go, how far soil has crept up the brickwork, and how the back addition was joined to the original wall.
Then the walk finishes at the boundary. Fence or wall, which side the posts are on, what leans against the party wall from next door, where the drain runs, which way the ground falls in rain. Hayes is street after street of the same inter-war and post-war semis, and that repetition is a gift: when the same floor plan has been walked forty times, the one house somebody altered badly stands out from the pavement.
06
Back at the front door, which is where questions get answered
Walking out is the same route in reverse, and it is the part of a viewing where a question reliably gets a straight answer. If something here matters to you — a house in Hayes this company ought to look at, a question about one it already owns, or a request to be told when the next is finished — the address below reaches it.
An email reaches somebody who has walked the house it asks about. There is no enquiry form on this site, nothing is counted or tracked, and no cookie is set by these pages. What happens to an email once it arrives, and how long it stays, is set out on the last page of the walk.
