Top tips for a Ashford Home Buyers Survey
Ashford, a town in Surrey, consists of mainly low density and medium rise buildings, most of which are semi-detached and detached. Most housing was built between 1885 and 1960. St Matthew's Church was built in 1858.
There are some Georgian properties, such as can be seen in Sevington Lane and you can find Victorian terrace cottages in Alexandra Road.
You can find new build houses and flats in Laburnam Way, some of which are sold under shared ownership.

Properties to the south and west of Ashford, such as those in Wheatsheaf Lane and Staines Road, are subject to flood warnings and alerts from time to time. The area is in the flood plain of the River Thames and also has the Queen Mary Reservoir to its east. 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 in some areas of Ashford (Middlesex) are built in designated smoke control areas. A recent local authority search done for a dwelling in Albert Road, Ashford, TW15 2LU noted that the property was in such a smoke control area. Under the terms of Section 20 of the Clean Air Act 1993, smoke emissions from all buildings are prohibited unless an exemption has been made by the Secretary of State under Section 21 of the Act. |
Properties in some areas of Ashford (Middlesex) may be affected by overhead power lines or mobile phone masts. A recent environmental search carried out for a property in Newman Court, Staines Road West, Ashford, TW15 2AB revealed that there were overhead power lines or mobile phone masts located within 250m of the dwelling. Overhead power lines and phone masts can be contentious and additionally may have a visual impact on the surrounding area. |
Middlesex 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 Home Buyers Survey is a visual inspection of the grounds and the internal/external structure of the property and identifies defects such as cracks or damage to the structure of the property, subsidence, damp and infestations.
Some of these defects you may not even see or know what to look for which makes getting a Home Buyers Survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, if you are considering buying a property in Ashford, incredibly important.

Should any issues be flagged up in the HomeBuyers Survey, our surveyor will tell you what you need to do to get more in-depth advice on the extent and seriousness of the issue affecting your property in Ashford and what needs to be done to remedy it.
If you are worried about a crack or cracks or indeed any other defects that you think your property has, we strongly recommend you get a Home Buyers Survey as the cost of remedying the problem might snowball into many thousands of pounds further down the line.

What happens if you choose the wrong survey for the type of property?
If once the Building Surveyor turns up to complete the survey, they feel the property does not suit the type of survey purchase, the surveyor will inform the client and the survey will not take place.
The scope of work of a HomeBuyer Report is different from that of a Building Survey. You an read the scope of work in a HomeBuyer Report here.
In most cases, the surveyor will agree to complete the appropriate inspection and then the client can pay the additional fee for the more appropriate survey.
Does your property look like this?
A purpose built block of flats similar to this will always require a Level 2: HomeBuyer Report and not a Building Survey because there will not be the requirement for the additional detail you get within the Building Survey as the property is too young and built using more modern building techniques.
Does your property look different to this? Then read our guide on which survey suits your property type.
