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.

Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A RICS Home Buyers Survey non-intrusively inspects both the external and internal structure of a property for matters which include these, among others; damp, subsidence, infestations, cracks and damage.
Whichever you opt for out of a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, they are both excellent for peace of mind if you are considering buying a property in Bethnal Green.

If your Home Buyers Survey highlights concerns relating to any of these defects your surveyor explains what the issue is in detail and provides a recommendation as to what you should do to further investigate. An example of this is if your surveyor spots signs of damp within the property. Over 5,000 properties a week in the UK have damp proofing laid to combat the issue of rising damp and home buyers fear seeing mould, peeling wall paper and sodden floors as these are all tell-tale signs of rising damp.
If your property is showing these signs and your surveyor notes using their damp monitor that there is damp internally they'll advise you to get a damp specialist to attend the property, confirm the issue advising whether it is rising damp and quote for the costs in repairing with damp proofing.
If you're looking at buying a home in Bethnal Green which is showing signs of damp, or any other defects then you MUST get a Home Buyers Survey. The costs for repairing the defects can run into thousands of pounds; however, If you can identify the problem before you purchase then you can get quotes for fixing it and either share the costs with the seller, or, in worst case examples, choose not to proceed.

Is a Mortgage valuation a defect survey?
When you buy a home with a mortgage your Mortgage Lender requires you to get a mortgage valuation to assess how much your property is actually worth. You have to pay for this survey and often you may think this is also a structural assessment to identify defects. Sadly the mortgage valuation is just for the mortgage lender which means you need to get your own independent survey of the property that's caught your eye in Bethnal Green to make sure there aren't any defects.
There is some confusion as the mortgage valuation is often referred to as a survey and so many buyers assume this is what is meant by 'have you done your survey?' It is important that when buying a property in Bethnal Green that you arrange your own HomeBuyers Survey that reports on defects or potential issues with the property. The two types of HomeBuyers survey to choose from are the HomeBuyers Report or the Building Survey. Buying without a survey could leave you exposed to any repair costs or defects that you didn't spot. The costs of underpinning a property due to subsidence run into the £10,000s so it is important to get a survey to check for this type of defect. Get your HomeBuyers Survey - call 0207 112 5388.
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.
