Top tips for a Brighton Home Buyers Survey
Brighton is concentrated along and back from the seafront with a mixture of grand squares where most of the buildings have been divided into spacious flats, and smaller terrace houses.
Hove has a blend of Regency (as found in Tongdean Avenue, Withdean Road, Clifton Terrace and Montpelier Villas) and Victorian houses. The rest of Brighton is dominated by streets of simple Victorian terraces, although in the Tongdean and Withdean areas there are large detached Twenties houses.
The Government’s Help to Buy scheme is available at Oldbury Row in Dudley Road in the Hollingdean area of Brighton and the Super B development in New England Square offers shared ownership apartments.

Properties in Brighton in Brighton Marina Village, in streets such as in streets like The Strand and The Waterfront, 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, Brighton, including streets such as Ewhurst Road and Redvers Road, is 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 3-5% (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. |
A recent Environmental Search stated that a property on Denmark Terrace, Brighton, The City of Brighton and Hove, BN1 3AN, was within 50m of an area with potential for natural ground instability. The British Geological Survey has assessed the area of search as having moderate potential for natural ground instability. This does not necessarily mean there is cause for concern in terms of the property's stability. Active subsidence will be dependent on local conditions, such as the proximity of trees or areas where trees have been removed, which require an inspection of the site to identify the nature of the ground on which the property is built. A house buyers survey is advised to look for signs of property damage that may indicate poor natural ground conditions. |

Why do I need a survey if I have had a Mortgage Valuation?
A property survey is different from a mortgage valuation report. A valuation is a cursory look at a property to assess how much it is worth and whether it is suitable for a mortgage, this will include a note of any major works that might affect the value of the property however It is not a detailed inspection of the property’s condition.
Before buying a property, it’s a good idea to get a professional to carry out a thorough inspection. The Building survey and Homebuyers report will make you aware of problems with the property structure, repairs or alterations that need to be made and risk associated with the property.
Buying a new home is likely to be the most expensive purchase you ever make so it’s important to make sure you’re making a sound investment that won’t result in you losing money in the long run.
