Top tips for a Bethnal Green Home Buyers Survey
Bethnal Green is in East London in the Boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Hackney. It was heavily bombed during the Blitz in the 2nd world war and many council estates were built in the postwar period.
There are pockets of surviving period houses, such as the Georgian houses in Paradise Row and the Victorian properties of various sizes in Columbia Road, Grove Road and Cyprus Road.
Most properties in the area are 2 and 3-bedroom properties and there are plenty of opportunities to buy ex-council properties of this sort given the success of Right to Buy. Winkley Street has flats, houses and studios built at the beginning of the 20th century.
New build developments include Threaders Apartments in Jersey Street of Bethnal Green Road which has 1 and 2-bedroom flats and 3-bedroom penthouses.

Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Bethnal Green area mainly centre around the Cambridge Heath Road, and of rail pollution where the railway line goes east from Bethnal Green Station, thus affecting roads such as Hadleigh Street and Globe Road. The epicentre of noise therefore is where the railway line crosses the Cambridge Heath Road. |
If you're buying a home and suspect there may be a problem with its gas supply, you need to seek advice from a gas engineer - a surveyor is unable to do this when carrying out a RICS survey. A local gas engineer based in the Bethnal Green area is Bethnal Green Gas Engineers, Proact Property Maintenance Ltd, Fortis House, 160 London Road, Barking, IG11 8BB. |
Properties in some areas of Bethnal Green are built in designated smoke control areas. A recent local authority search done for a dwelling in Corfield Street, Bethnal Green, E2 0DS 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. |
Greater 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.

Can you attend the Survey with the surveyor?
Most surveyors do not allow the client on site whilst carrying out their inspection. They have a long list of defects that they need to check for and they cannot be distracted from the job in hand as they can be held to account for any missed defects.
The surveyors' professional indemnity insurance does not cover for bringing any third party on site with them while they are completing their inspection, therefore, in the event of any damage being sited by a vendor while the survey is taking place, the surveyor would be liable and uninsured.
On the day of the survey if you have any concerns you can make the surveyor aware of this so they can pay special attention to these areas during their inspection.
