Top tips for a Acton Home Buyers Survey


Acton is a highly mixed area architecturally, with an abundance of Victorian terraced houses in the main central area and with brutalist 1960s tower blocks and slab blocks in the South Acton estate but red brick houses to its north.

A large area of East Acton’s housing was built as a council estate in the 1920s and consists of relatively standard construction semi-detached and terraced housing.

Survey Tip 1

Survey Tip 2

Survey Tip 3

Acton soil types are loamy with North and East Acton areas having more clay in them. Clay is a factor in subsidence and is always a factor to consider when buying a property in London.
There are no flood warning or flood alert areas in the locale.

If you are concerned that a property you are looking to buy is in a flood risk area, you should consider getting a flood risk report (click for more details).
Properties built around the path of the A40 frequently experience high noise levels.

LondonMiddlesex is a county located in south east of England, however many parts of Middlesex are now commonly known as part of Greater London, with small sections in neighbouring counties.

Strictly speaking Middlesex as a concept is only kept in existence by many people continuing to name it as a county on postal addresses and other contributors such as Middlesex County Cricket Club, whose home ground is at Lord's in St John's Wood, just outside Central London. It is still loved despite it not having any form of administrative function etc.

People hearing about Middlesex assume it was/is a large county because of the amount of Greater London territory (West and North London and Westminster, with the Thames as its southern boundary) which lies within its borders. It is actually the second smallest county in the UK. Middlesex was established in the Anglo-Saxon system from the territory of the Middle Saxons. The largely low-lying county's soil is dominated by clay in its north and alluvium on gravel in its south.

Middlesex contains locations as diverse as Teddington (where the tidal Thames normally finishes), Enfield, Notting Hill, Ickenham, Ealing (where the famous film studios which produced so much early film comedy still exists), Hampstead and Southall.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?

A RICS Home Buyers Survey involves an examination of the structure of the inside and the outside of a property.

Choosing the right survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, to get is important however both a HomeBuyers Report and a Building Survey will identify any suspicions of the main defects discussed below.

If they find any issues during the inspection of your property in Acton, our surveyor will flag them up in the Home Buyers Survey and give you advice on what you should do to solve them. An example of this is where the surveyor finds evidence of woodworm infestation. 

If you are concerned about any other defects with the property you MUST get a Home Buyers Survey as the costs of repairing the defects can run into thousands of pounds.

Can I be present during my Building Survey?

As standard, surveyors do not allow clients on site with them for several reasons. Most importantly, surveyors have a third party liability insurance that covers them whilst they are on the property in the unlikely event of any damages, this does not extend to the client and as such the surveyor would be liable in the event of any damages to the property.

The other reason is that the surveyor is there to do a job and has a long list of defects to look out for which requires their full attention. The presence of the client will understandably cause distractions and may cause the surveyor to miss something, not only could this lead the client to seeking restitution, it would ultimately affect the quality of the survey the client had paid for.


Does your property look like this?

Standard Construction Properties in Acton
The Level 2: HomeBuyer Report is perfectly suited for standard construction properties that have not had any material changes, run down or extensions to them. Many clients prefer to get a Level 3: Building Survey as they don't want to miss any defects, however it is important to note that both surveys inspect the same areas of the property and it is unlikely that any additional content will appear in the report of a Building Survey compared to a HomeBuyer Report.

Does your property look different to this? Then read our guide on which survey suits your property type.
