According to the UK Government's Public Health England, Bridgend is in a raised Radon area with properties built there having a higher chance than average of experiencing ground radon emission.

Streets including Walter Street and Walters Road have a maximum radon potential of 5-10%. The percentage is the chance of a property being built where Radon emissions might measure above the action level.
Properties in some areas of Bridgend have a potential risk of being affected by river and surface flooding. According to information from an environmental search, properties in and near to streets such as Brewery Lane and Wyndham Street in close proximity to Ogmore River revealed that there is a potential risk of both surface and river flooding occurring.

Sometimes you will be advised to take out a Flood Risk Report examining these possibilities more deeply. Click to view a Flood Risk Report
Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Bridgend area mainly stem from traffic from the A473, affecting nearby streets such as Angel Street and Nolton Street.

Rail traffic running through Bridgend also generates higher levels of noise pollution for nearby streets such as Court Road.

Is asbestos testing included in my survey? Is the removal cost also quoted?

No, what the surveyor will do is let you know within the report that there are signs of asbestos based on their visual inspection and of the property's general style and age. If there are suspicions of asbestos you would be advised to get an asbestos specialist to test the grade of the asbestos within the property.

We have asbestos surveyors covering Bridgend 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.

Georgian Properties in Bridgend
Georgian properties should only have a Level 3: Building Survey (formally called the full structural survey) completed by a competent RICS surveyor as the age of the property will command a more in-depth assessment of the property's build and structure. It is often common to have extensions to the property that need the keen eye of the surveyor to inspect the build quality. A HomeBuyer Report is not suited as it is only advisable to be used on flats bungalows and standard construction properties.

Does your property look different to this? Then read our guide on which survey suits your property type.
