Top tips for a Barnet Home Buyers Survey


Barnet has a great variety of properties. There's a mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses which developed after the railway arrived in the 19th century; of detached, semi-detached and terrace types. There are also plenty of houses built in the 1920s and 30s including detached and semi-detached properties and bungalows.

There are period homes around the St John the Baptist Church in the Wood Street conservation area and Edwardian and later properties in the Hadley Wood area. Granville Close near the town centre has a few large detached Edwardian houses. Hadley Highstone has cottages and Victorian terrace houses.

There are also a number of newer developments also. There are shared ownership properties, for example, in Canons Row, Chandos Avenue, GreenPoint, Mill Brook Park, Millbrook Park, Panavia Court (Bristol Avenue) and Eden Place. A number of properties have also been designated for Help to Buy such as in the Brook Valley Gardens development in Hera Avenue.

Survey Tip 1

Survey Tip 2

Survey Tip 3

Properties in Barnet built in close proximity to the Dollis Brook, in streets such as Barnet Lane and Southfield, are in areas which are sometimes subject to flood alerts from time to time.

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 sometimes have issues with ground stability in certain locations in Barnet.

In a recent environmental search, taken out for a property in Longmore Avenue, the report noted that there was a moderate potential for natural ground instability within 50m of the property.

This should not be taken to mean that the property in question actually suffered/suffers from subsidence however as "active subsidence will be dependent on local conditions, such as the proximity of trees or areas where trees have been removed, which require an inspection of the site to identify the nature of the ground on which the property is built."

Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Barnet area mainly centre around the main roads of St Albans Road, Great North Road and the High Street, and of rail pollution along the railway line which is on a north-south axis connecting the stations of Hadley Wood, New Barnet and Oakleigh Park and which affects nearby streets such as Stephenson Close and Netherlands Road.

LondonGreater London is an area which contains London, the capital of the United Kingdom (which itself centres on the Cities of London and Westminster) and a number of surrounding boroughs which are administered as London boroughs and which are the overall executive responsibility of the Mayor of London. It contains a large number of constituencies, each represented by an MP and it should be noted that these are not the same as nor even always continguous with the borders of the boroughs.

Many parts of Greater London were originally administered by the counties which surround London and these counties are often called the home counties. Enfield, for example, used to be classed as being part of Middlesex, but is now near the northern border of Greater London. Greater London's borders often coincide with a zone of 'green belt': areas where it has been decided that open spaces, parks, forests and wildlife reserves should act as a buffer against urban sprawl. London has numerous landmarks, anything from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to Karl Marx's grave in Highgate Cemetery.

Greater London contains more than 9 million inhabitants, a number growing daily, and as this is approximately 1/7 of the population of the UK, it can be seen that Greater Londoners have a large influence on the rest of the country politically and this is enhanced by the concentration of skilled workers gravitating towards the capital.

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 Barnet, incredibly important.

NB If you're a first time buyer, you might wish to click on What is a House Survey to find out more, including what happens during the inspection.

My property is a period flat, do I need a building survey?

This is a commonly asked question and it depends on the property to be inspected.

For a homebuyers report the surveyor is inspecting the property itself and common parts. If the property is a first floor flat with a garden flat below and a top floor flat above, there really is very little merit in instructing a full building survey as the surveyor has limits to what he can comment on.

If however the property to be purchased is the garden flat, then the surveyor is likely to have access to the front and rear of the property so is able to complete a more thorough inspection and therefore able to provide a more detailed report. So a building survey would be possible.

Always provide the postcode so that you can get guidance on what survey best suit your property.

Period Conversion Flat Properties in Barnet
Converted Victorian flats can be confusing for buyers trying to choose which survey is best. Most RICS surveyors prefer to complete Level 3: Building Survey due to the age of the property, however some other surveyors will complete a Level 2: HomeBuyer Report. The best advice is to get the surveyor to inspect the property and check the condition and then guide you on what survey best suits a Victorian Conversion.
