Top tips for a Bearsted Home Buyers Survey
The railway station brought about an increase in population in 1884. This means there are many properties from the Victorian and Edwardian era. Large Victorian, detached properties can be found on Mill Street and Bower Mount Road, whilst semi - detached Edwardian properties are situated on Bower Mount Road and Manor Rise.
Bearsted itself does not have any new developments, but Barming Rise is one within Maidstone with three and four bedroom houses designed for contemporary living. Langley Park is also of similar style.

The River Lenn and The Lilk run through Bearsted so some residential roads may be subject to flood alerts from time to time, such as Discovery Road, Cross Keys and Bournewood Close. 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). |
Being near the M20 means thaat Bearsted is subject to raised levels of noise pollution. The Street, Thurnham Lane and other roads to the north of the town are affected. A railways line also runs along the M20 that contributed to the noise pollution. |
According to a recent environmental search for a property on Hughenden Reach in Maidstone claimed the porperty was within 50m of potential ground instability. Subsidence depends on local conditions so could be an issue for Bearsted. |
Kent, romantically described as 'the garden of England', is a coastal county in the England's south eastern corner. Because it borders Greater London, it is classed as one of the home counties. It contains the Weald and the North Downs. Kent's county town is Maidstone. Other large cities include Gillingham, Chatham, Ashford, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Margate, Dartford and Gravesend. Kent has many port towns including Dover, Folkestone and Margate. Adjacent counties include East Sussex, Surrey, Essex (across the River Thames) and, as stated earlier, Greater London. Curiously, Kent used to contain an enclave north of the River Thames until 1965 which equates now to the E16 postcode area and which has now been reclassified as part of the London Borough of Newham. JMW Turner, the great impressionist painter, spent part of his childhood in Margate and regularly returned there in later life. The coastline of East Kent is regarded as the inspiration for many of his works, particularly his fantastic seascapes.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
Our RICS Surveyor, during a Home Buyers Survey in Bearsted, inspects both the inside and the outside of your property and searches in particular for subsidence, damp, infestations and any cracks or other damage to the property.
The procedure, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is non-intrusive.

Is a Mortgage valuation a defect survey?
Confusion can arise regarding mortgage valuations and HomeBuyers Surveys. The unfortunate result is that property buyers can sometimes find themselves having to spend a great deal of money repairing faults and defects which might well have - and ideally would have - formed part of the bargaining process with the vendor when negotiations were taking place.
Lenders appoint surveyors to carry out valuations to estimate market values of properties but the survey has no concern with investigating structural defects.
A HomeBuyers Survey notes and reports on defects and has a full appraisal and valuation of a property, which, most importantly, is completely independent of the mortgage lender. You can use this information to get quotes for how much it would cost to fix any defects detected in your property in Bearsted. More importantly, the survey can provide evidence which you can use to bargain with the seller about sharing repair costs. Book your HomeBuyers Survey for your property in Bearsted by calling 0333 344 3234 and get yourself some well-earned peace of mind.
Does your property look like this?
If you have a crack similar to this in the property then you should be looking to instruct a Structural Engineer, instead of a RICS surveyor. The reason being is that your property could have subsidence and although a RICS surveyor can confirm if they have a suspicion, they cannot confirm definitively if there is subsidence. If the crack in the wall is more than 3mm (a 50p could fit in it), it is advisable to get a structural engineer in straight away over a RICS surveyor.
