Top tips for a Bedfordshire Home Buyers Survey


Bedfordshire in the east of England is partly on a chalk ridge (the Chiltern Hills) and also part of the River Great Ouse's drainage basin. The rocks there are clays, sandstone and some limestone.

Towns in the county include Luton, Biggleswade, Flitwick, Sandy, Dunstable, Shefford, Kempston and Ampthill among others. The larger towns, particularly Luton, have much housing stock, particularly semi-detached houses, built in the 1930s and onwards, with a mix of council-built and private-built.

The county hosts Woburn Abbey and Bedford Castle. Most often, examples of much older properties are found in more rural areas where there has been less or no redevelopment and much less likelihood of events like bombing during the second world war having occurred.

There are many modern developments, particularly in areas such as Biddenham (take, for example, Great Denham Park (detached, semi-detached and terraced housing) and Greenkeepers Mews (some purpose-built low-rise flats).

Dwellings in Bedfordshire which are built in close proximity to water courses such as the River Great Ouse and the River Lee (or Lea) are subject to flood warnings and 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).
According to the UK Government's Public Health England, some parts of Bedfordshire, including places such as Bromham, Biddenham and Oakley, are in a raised radon area, with properties built there having a higher probability than average of experiencing ground Radon emissions.

The raised Radon area has a maximum radon potential of 1 – 3% (the percentage is the chance of a property being built where Radon emissions might measure above the action level).

If you are concerned that a property you are buying is in an area of raised Radon, please click to visit Public Health England's UK Radon Map. Click also to find out more about Radon, Radon property searches and much more.
The highest levels of noise pollution in the Bedfordshire area generally centre on the M1 as it passes near places such as Eversholt, Ridgmont and Brogborough. Noise pollution from railways in Bedfordshire is most marked along the path of the main north-south line passing through Bedford Station.

BedfordshireBedfordshire is often abbreviated to Beds and is a county located to the East of England. It is a ceremonial county and a historic county, covered by three unitary authorities: Bedford, Central Bedfordshire, and Luton. Bedfordshire is bordered by Cambridgeshire to the northeast, Northamptonshire to the north, Buckinghamshire to the west and Hertfordshire to the southeast.

Bedford itself is halfway between Oxford and Cambridge and a railway line nicknamed the Varsity or Brain Line used to connect the two universities. Bedfordshire contains the Chiltern Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty, as well as Woburn Abbey and Safari Park. John Bunyan, author of the Pigrim's Progress, was from the county (born Elstow, just south of Bedford) and actually spent 12 years in Bedford Gaol for his nonconformist views regarding the restoration of the monarchy!

Does the surveyor use Drones to assess the property?

The use of more advanced digital technology within assessing properties is on the rise but don’t always exceed the results obtained from more industry standard equipment or save any time.

RICS surveyors have a selection of measuring equipment, recording devices and equipment for assessing remote and concealed areas such as standard lifting equipment for inspection chamber covers, meter cupboard keys, hand mirrors, a ladder that gives safe access to spaces that are three metres above floor level, and binoculars or telescopes for parts of the property at high level which can be utilized to efficiently certify efects.
