Top tips for a Barnsbury Home Buyers Survey


Barnsbury was mainly a rural area until the 19th century, then wealthy people from the City of London moved out to the area and many large Victorian houses were built. Pentonville Prison was built there in 1842 on the Caledonian Road and this also created employment and further building.

There are medium-rise blocks of flats built in the interwar period largely, making up the Barnsbury Estate, with blocks such as Corbet House, Molton House and Jocelin House.

Raised levels of noise pollution from roads and railways in Barnsbury centre on the point on the Caledonian Road where the overland railway crosses it, near Caledonian Road and Barnsbury Railway Station.
Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Barnsbury area mainly centre around the main road – A5203 and Caledonian, impacting roads such as Stanmore Street and Carnousite Drive.
Your RICS surveyor inspects drains during a survey of a property in Barnsbury, where the drain cover is accessible and on the site of the property.

If the drains are reported to be blocked you may need to employ a drainage company to inspect the drains with CCTV such as 1st Call Drain Clearance, Level 1 Devonshire House One, Mayfair Pl, London W1J 8AJ.

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 RICS 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, incredibly important when you are considering buying a home in Barnsbury.

What happens if access for the home buyers survey is denied?

On the day of the survey, if access is denied by the seller or the estate agent, then the surveyor will inform you and then look to re-book for another day.

In cases where access is denied, the surveyor will mostly likely charge a fee for this and the seller/estate agent should cover this cost as the refusal of access was not the buyer's fault.
