Properties in Buckinghamshire which are built near to major water courses such as the Rivers Thame, Chess, Misbourne and Great Ouse 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). |
In section E4 of the HomeBuyer Report, a RICS surveyor reviews the Windows in a property. It will be highlighted if there are any double glazed windows for a very important reason. Since 2002, double glazing should have either building regulation approval or should have been installed by a contractor registered with FENSA (a government approved trade association). If the double glazing was installed before April 2002, enforceable guarantees for the installation should be available. |
In section G1 of the HomeBuyer Report, the surveyor makes comment about the Electrics. The surveyor is not qualified to test the electrics which is why the report states "Safety warning: The Electrical Safety Council recommends that you should get a registered electrician to check the property and its electrical fittings at least every 10 years, or on change of occupancy. All electrical installation work undertaken after 1 January 2005 should have appropriate certification. For more advice contact the Electrical Safety Council". |
