Top tips for a Biggleswade Home Buyers Survey


Biggleswade had a pleasant variety of architectural styles. Drove Road and The Baulk are two of Biggleswade's most desired residential streets due to their Victorian and Edwardian architecture.

You can find stunning Georgian properties such as on Thorncote Road.

Modern houses can be found in Saxon Fields which is the new housing development. Flats are also available on Shortmead Street.

Properties on the far West side of Biggleswade are subject to flood alerts from time to time. This includes streets such as Ivel Gardens and Osprey Road as River Ivel runs parallel to these roads.

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).
Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in Biggleswade mainly centre around London road (A6001) running through it and the A1 round the outskirts impacting Windemere Drive and Holme Court Avenue.

The railway line also causes noise pollution for Roads such as Eldon Way and Sycamore Close.
Some properties in Biggleswade are located nearby to existing or proposed sites for wind turbines.

A recent environmental search carried out for a property on Shortmead Street, for example, flagged up that the property was built within 4km of existing or proposed wind turbines
The location of wind farms or turbines can be contentious due to visual impact.

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 a RICS surveyor perform asbestos testing?

The Survey is a visual assessment to help identify any potential issues. The surveyor will inspect the property and if they have any suspicions of subsidence they will recommend that you get an asbestos specialist into the property.

The asbestos specialist will review of all accessible areas of the property to assess for asbestos and provide details of areas asbestos is potentially affecting along with taking samples and confirming if the material is asbestos.

We have asbestos surveyors covering Biggleswade and they are all qualified to British Occupational Hygiene Society P402 and some to S301 Standards. All samples are analysed in a UKAS accredited laboratory. At the end of the process you will know what level of asbestos is present and what it will cost for you or the vendor to remove it.

Does your property look like this?

Properties with Subsidence in Biggleswade
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.
