A RICS surveyor doesn't test the electrics during a survey as they are not qualified to do so, however they will turn on and off the lights and confirm where the fuse box is in the property. Electrical issues can occur in properties that date older than 1970 as the electrical methods adopted in properties has evolved over time. This is why a surveyor will recommend that you consult a local electrical contractor if they feel it necessary. A local electrician in Buckhurst Hill is P E Electrical, 10 Church Rd, Buckhurst Hill IG9 5RU. |
In section E3 of the HomeBuyer Report, the surveyor reports on the Rain Water Pipes. This is completed through an inspection of accessible parts up to 3m and with the use of binoculars. An example of this inspection from a survey in Chandos Close, Buckhurst Hill, Essex, IG9 5HS is "Rainwater fittings are of plastic sections. These are in reasonable condition to type and age however, it is shared with your neighbour and it would prudent to separate them to prevent possible maintenance dispute. It is not raining and we are unable to confirm these are water tight". |

The western side of Essex hosts many London workers and there are fast rail links to, for example, Shenfield from London Liverpool Street which aid many city workers.Essex's county town is Chelmsford (and is the county's only city), where Essex County Cricket Club are based. Essex hosts Stansted Airport and attractions such as the Lakeside Shopping Centre, near Thurrock and Epping Forest, a popular forest for camping and other activities.
